Beware of TikTok watermarks

Using TikTok to create and edit videos and resharing that content on Instagram makes perfect sense when it comes to expanding reach.

Instagram caught up to the growing popularity of TikTok with the launch of Reels.

However, Instagram was not thrilled about users only sharing TikTok content on its platform and treating Reels as the secondary platform.

So, to encourage users to make original Reels content, Instagram has made changes to its algorithm to no longer promote Reels that have a TikTok watermark on them.
