Instagram just launched Blend,The Whore of the Rings (2001) a a new feature that lets users create a private feed of recommended Reels in their DMs. The use-case here is kind of confusing, but it has potential to be useful for users who want to get to know their friends and lovers' algorithms better — an inclination so disturbing in nature that it might actually be real.
You could compare it to Spotify Blend playlists — which are great to have in the background of a hang or to discover commonalities with other users — but for scrolling through Instagram Reels in silence next to each other. It could also help make the Reels scrolling experience more collaborative and less lonely. If the feature does nothing else, it will likely keep users logged on for longer; a W for Instagram.
The feature has been in development since at least March 2024, and was being tested with some users in March. It'll work in one-on-one DMs or on group chats.
"We want Instagram to be a place where people connect over creativity, and this is one more way to do that. It’s a really fun way to not only share your interests, but to learn a little bit about your friends’ interests… and then you can actually start conversations about that content that you discover," Instagram head Adam Mosseri said in a Reel.

Once you accept or start a Blend, you and your chat will be able to scroll through suggested Reels. When you or a friend reacts to Reels in the Blend using the reply bar, it will send that to the chat to keep your convo going.

Once at least one other person accepts the invitation, the Blend will begin. It will refresh every day.
