Reels Scrolling On Their Own? It's Not a Glitch; Instagram Is Testing New Auto-Scroll Feature

India.com5 days ago
Instagram New Feature: Instagram, the Meta-owned platform, is testing a new feature that enables reels to play automatically one after another—no swiping needed. This feature is known as the Auto-Scroll feature. It ensures that once a reel ends, the next one starts playing instantly. If you wish to rewatch a reel, you can scroll back up, but it will continue auto-playing the next reel afterward.
By default, this feature is turned off. To enable it, tap the three-dot menu below the share icon and toggle on Auto-Scroll. Moreover, Instagram has already introduced a new feature called Blend, designed to offer a more personalized and shared Reels experience. According to the company, Blend creates a unique feed of Instagram Reels, curated based on content recommendations tailored to both users involved.
Instagram's turning into TikTok one scroll at a time Auto-scroll is here for some users, posts now swipe themselves.

The feature is located within the chat section of the app. To start a Blend, one person must send an invite, which the other must accept—meaning it requires mutual consent from both accounts before the shared feed is created.
How To Activate Blend Feature On Android and iOS
Step 1: Open Instagram and navigate to a chat — this can be either a one-on-one conversation or a group chat.
Step 2: In the chat window, tap the Blend icon located in the top right corner.
Step 3: A preview screen will appear, showing what the Blend feature includes. Tap Invite to send the invitation.
Step 4: The other person (or group members) must accept the invite. Once accepted, the Blend will be created and a shared Reels feed will be generated based on both users' interests.

"If Blueprint Doesn't Work...": Bryan Johnson Reveals Backup Plan If His Company Fails

US biotech entrepreneur, Bryan Johnson, has joked about what he would be doing in case he has to sell his anti-ageing startup, Blueprint. Mr Johnson, responsible for the 'Don't Die' ideology, stated earlier this week in an interview that he was planning to sell his company as it was "pain-in-the-a**" running it. Taking to Instagram, Mr Johnson posted a photo of himself, dressed in a pizza delivery man's attire and captioned the post as saying: "If blueprint doesn't work out." See the post here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bryan Johnson (@bryanjohnson_) The post instantly went viral, attracting attention from social media users who applauded Mr Johnson's self-deprecating humour whilst adding that a lot would have to go wrong for him to don the delivery executive's clothes. "Haha Bryan you have an impeccable sense of humour," said one user while another joked: "Dangerous width for a moustache." A third added: "If Mario delivered Pizza lmaoooo im sure you will be just fine." Is Bryan Johnson selling his company? In an interview with Wired, Mr Johnson said that juggling business ventures and philosophical pursuits had become too difficult. "Honestly, I am so close to either shutting it down or selling it," he said when quizzed where his commercial and philosophical interests start and stop. "I've been talking to people about this. I don't need the money, and it's a pain-in-the-ass company," he said, adding: "The problem is now people see the business and give me less credibility on the philosophy side. I will not make that trade-off. It is not worth it to me. So yeah, I don't want it." Regarding reports about his company being in financial duress, Mr Johnson said: "We are break-even, and I've said that publicly many times. We've had profitable months, we've had loss months." Mr Johnson gained international fame for his full-time commitment to stopping his body's ageing process. He allegedly spends $2 million a year on medical diagnostics and treatments combined with a meticulously crafted regimen of eating, sleeping, and exercising to see if he can slow, and perhaps even reverse, the ageing process.

Dwayne Johnson mourns death of wrestler Hulk Hogan

Los Angeles, Actor Dwayne Johnson called Hulk Hogan his "childhood hero" as he remembered the late wrestler. Dwayne Johnson mourns death of wrestler Hulk Hogan Hogan breathed his last on Thursday following a cardiac arrest. He was 71. Johnson, who is also a former wrestler, shared a video alongside Hogan on his Instagram handle on Friday and penned a lengthy note along. "Rest in Peace, Terry Bollea aka The Immortal Hulk Hogan. To millions of little kids you were a childhood hero - myself included," the 53-year-old actor wrote in the caption. "In 1984, I gave you your 'HULKSTER' headband back, in the locker room in Madison Square Garden - I was the lucky kid caught it when you threw it in the crowd. You were shocked and so happy after the match because you told me that was your very last headband and if it weren't for me, you'd have no way of getting that exact one made again. You promised me that you would get more made and give me a Hulkster headband of my own as a thank you gift. And that meant the world to that little 12 year-old boy," he wrote. Johnson also recalled the match with Hogan in 2002 at WrestleMania X8, where the actor emerged as the winner. The video shared on his Instagram was from that match. "Just 17 years later, and still a kid at the age of 29 years old — I'm standing in the middle of the ring and facing you - one of my wrestling heroes in the main event of WRESTLEMANIA. The match was to decide who would go down in history, as The Greatest of All Time. When you kick out of my Rock Bottom finisher - just listen and FEEL that crowd go ELECTRIC…all for you. I've never felt anything like that in my entire wrestling career. It takes two to tango, but that historic crowd reaction was all for you. You may have 'passed the torch' to me that night, but you, my friend…. … you 'drew the house' meaning you sold out every arena and stadium across the country in your prime as Hulk Hogan, on your way of becoming the greatest of all time," he added. "From deep in my bones, and on behalf of this wild and crazy world of professional wrestling that we love, I say to you now, and forever… Thank you for the house, brother… Thank you, for the house. RIP Terry Bollea aka Hulk Hogan," Johnson concluded. This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
