How To Watch Instagram Reels In WhatsApp Using Meta AI
Step 1: Make sure your WhatsApp is updated to the latest version on Android or iOS. This feature only works on the most recent update, so check the app store before you begin.
Step 2: Open WhatsApp and look for a glowing blue-pink animated circle above your chat list. That’s the Meta AI icon. Tap on it to launch the feature.
Step 3: You’ll be directed to a chat-like interface, similar to any WhatsApp conversation. At the bottom, there’s a text box where you can type your prompt.
Step 4: In the chat, type something like “Show me Instagram Reels” and hit send. Within seconds, a handful of Instagram Reels will pop up right in the chat.
Step 5: Tap on any of the Reels shown to start watching them directly within WhatsApp. No need to switch apps.
Want Reels From A Specific Creator?
For this, you just need to type the creator’s name in the prompt. For example, “Show me Reels from Virat Kohli”, and Meta AI will try to fetch the latest or trending Reels from that account.

Important Note Before You Start
To access this feature, users must agree to Meta’s terms for chatting with businesses and bots on WhatsApp. Without that, Meta AI won’t work, and you won’t be able to access Reels.
