Instagram is introducing four new Reels templates that allow users to create an annotated video of their 2022 highlights.

With this launch, Instagram continues to allow users to customize their year in review to share with followers.

Traditionally, Instagram users ended the year with a post highlighting their top nine photos and videos.

Last year, Instagram switched to video and asked users to share the top stories of their year.

Now the Instagram app is bringing users to the attention of a new way to share their best moments of 2022 by using one of four new templates to create a reel.

How to create your Instagram 2022 Highlight Reel

Instagram’s new Reels templates let you choose a combination of three to 14 photos and videos, and the app automatically weaves the content together into one video.

Instagram is working with several celebrities to provide voiceovers for the Reels templates, including Bad Bunny, DJ Khaled, Badshah, and Priah Ferguson.

The voiceovers complement your content by providing comments with general phrases that could relate to anyone’s photos and videos.

During the upload process, you can choose which timestamps to insert content into to ensure it matches the commentary in the voiceover.

Creating a highlight for 2022 is as easy as following the prompt that appears the next time you open the Instagram app.

If you are not prompted to create a reel using one of the new templates, follow these steps:

• Select the Reels tab in the middle of the bottom navigation panel.
• Tap the camera icon in the top right corner.
• Select Templates at the bottom of the screen.
• Choose from one of four new 2022 Recap templates.
• Select pictures and videos from your camera roll.
• Select Next when you’re ready to preview your video.

If you are satisfied with the video generated by Instagram, you can share it with your followers like any other content.
