Facebook Reels are short video clips that people can watch and explore within the Facebook ecosystem.

Since Reels were globally launched, creators earn money with a new bonus program implemented by the platform.

This allows creators to connect with favorite interest communities and wider audiences, which is great for everyone.

Now, when you open Facebook, you discover Reels based on your tastes.

That means that you can share Reels and find them within your Facebook profile quite easily in the dedicated news feed section.

This news feed, alongside Stories, is aimed specifically at Reels.

This means that you can simply open Facebook, go to the Reels page, and find all the Reels recommended there in chronological order.

This applies to both iOS and Android devices. Besides, when you make Facebook posts with Reels, they will also show up in the Reels feed.

This means you can upload, edit, find and even remove Facebook Reels quite easily.

If you want to look for a specific Reel, simply go to the search bar, and type the related keywords that can take you to watch that Reel.

You can also look for someone’s profile, and see their uploaded Reels directly there.
