As 2021 gradually draws to a close, it's natural to want to reflect on the memories of the upcoming year. Considering you can turn to your diary for inspiration, the only images you will likely see are mental ones.
Alternatively, you can use third-party apps to generate a slideshow of your 2021 in motion pictures. Or better yet, you can use Meta's 2021 replay feature for Instagram.
In this article, you will learn more about how Instagram year review works, its benefits, and why you should use it this year.
View your highlights of 2021 with Instagram's replay feature
Instagram's Review of the Year feature, also known as Playback 2021, launched on December 9, 2021, and lets you relive your memories.
- To access it, open the Instagram app and tap on the prompt View playback at the top of the feeds. If you can't find this in-feed notification, it's because 2021 replay is rolling out in stages, so expect soon.
- Meanwhile, you can touch the sticker 2021 in other people's reproductions or stories to request yours. However, finding one can be a hassle.
- Once done, tap View your 2021 replay . This will generate a slideshow of all your stories in the upcoming year. (Yes, IG keeps an archive of it. You can disable it in Settings.)
- Toccata NEXT , then preview the playback and share it if you like what you see.
- Otherwise, you can edit it by adding or removing any story from your Stories archive before adding it to Playback where you can share it with your Stories.
- You can also add text, stickers, filters, tags, and mentions to your playback.
Note, however, that you can only select ten stories from your story archive to include in the 2021 replay. Also, this feature is only available for a few weeks until the end of the year. So act fast.
