JAKARTA Reels is a popular competitor to TikTok. This feature, which is on Instagram, is able to compete with video distribution applications from ByteDance, but the feature is still a little behind.

If you are a loyal user of TikTok and try to open Reels, you can immediately find the difference between the two, namely the Jeda button. The function of this feature is very simple, but it can affect the user experience if presented.

TikTok has a Jeda button so users can stop videos whenever they want. For example, when there is a dialogue that is difficult to listen to, when they miss a little information, when they want to see important parts, and others.

However, Reels, which focuses on short duration, does not have the Jeda button. In fact, this feature is very much needed for a large number of users. The Jeda feature has been waiting for a long time and now Meta is preparing for this capability.

Meta, in a CNBC report, says that the ability to bridge videos is available worldwide, but can only be accessed by a small group of users. This feature is still being tested so it is not widely available.

This is good news for Instagram users. Actually, Reels can be paused, but in a complicated way. If users want to pause the videos they watch, they have to put out a bigger effort by holding back the screen.

If his finger moves, the video will resume running. Once this feature is rolled out to the public, Instagram users can pause Reels by simply tapping the screen once. That way, they no longer need to hold back the screen.
