Reels

This guide outlines the process for creating, editing, sharing, commenting on, and deleting Reels. Users can create a Reel by uploading content, setting audience preferences, and adding descriptions before publishing. Editing allows modifications to descriptions, cover images, and other settings. Reels can be shared via direct links, messages, or reposting, with engagement tracked on the original post. Deletion requires confirmation and ensures the Reel is immediately removed from the profile.
