Unfortunately, you cannot rearrange reels after they have been posted to your Instagram profile. Once a reel is published, its order in your Reels tab is permanent.
While you cannot change the order, here are a few points to consider:
- No Rearranging: There's no built-in feature within Instagram to drag and drop or otherwise reorder existing reels on your profile.
- Deleting and Reposting (Not Recommended): The only way to change the order would be to delete the reels you want to move and then re-upload them in the desired sequence. However, this is strongly discouraged. Deleting reels means losing all associated likes, comments, and views. It's generally better to leave them as is.
- Plan Ahead: Carefully consider the order of your reels before you post them if sequence is important to your overall presentation. You can use drafts to plan your content.
- Focus on Future Content: Since you can't change the past, concentrate on creating great content moving forward and ensure its order suits your strategy.
In conclusion, while the ability to rearrange reels is a frequently requested feature, Instagram currently doesn't offer this functionality. Deleting and reposting is a workaround, but the loss of engagement metrics makes it an undesirable option.
