This scoop comes straight from Mobile Developer and Reverse Engineer Alessandro Paluzzi, who took to X to share his discovery. From this, it appears that with “Blend” you’ll have a private place to share Reels recommendations that the Instagram algorithm thinks both you and your friend will identify with.
Spotify vibes, but with Reels
We’re still fuzzy on some key details. For example, right now it looks like “Blends” are totally private, and you can bounce from one anytime, but these details have not been made public. We’ll also have to wait and see if the Reels feed constantly updates, or if there’s a set refresh time.
The appearance of this new feature signals that there’s more at work here by Instagram. “Blend” could be a new initiative to boost Reels and get everyone watching even more. After all, you and your friends already DM each other all those funny Reels anyway, right? Now, Instagram wants to be part of the action by suggesting what you might love.
Like any project in the works, there’s no guarantee that “Blend” will make it to your Instagram feed. But if it does, it’s got the potential to shake things up. I can definitely see myself using this as I’m doomscrolling through Reels.
