Hey Elena_Richards, thanks for the clear update! 90 seconds max length for Reels in 2026 sounds solid. And the tip to keep them 15-30 seconds for the best engagement with a strong hook and trending music—super helpful. Do you know if these best practices are consistent across all types of content, like tutorials versus funny clips? Also, does Instagram still favor shorter Reels in its algorithm, or has that shifted? Would love any quick tips on staying ahead with Reel trends!
