Instagram Rolls out Playback Year-in-Review Feature for 2021; Here’s How It Works

Dec. 10, 2021

The feature is an extension of theInstagram Top 9 photo grid feature, which has been the app’s year-ender for creators in the past. However, this feature focused more on the top Instagram posts and required people to use third-party apps for the creation of the top 9 posts on the platform. Playback appears simpler and hassle-free, the reason it might gain significant traction. If this happens, maybe, we will get to see this appear on our Instagram feeds at the end of every year.

For those who don’t know, popular apps such as Spotify, YouTube Music, and even Reddit have shared their year-in-reviews for people to reflect on what became popular on the platforms this year. Even YouTube had its version of a year-ender video in the form of the popular YouTube Rewind butthat stopped last year.

Started off as a stranger but tech is more like a good friend, thanks to over 5 years in the industry. While everything is attractive about tech, phones, social media, and quirky gadgets attract me the most. When not working, I find my solace in shopping and everything that concerns doggos!
