"Instagram's 2023 Content Ranking System and Algorithm Explained"

Instagram has updated its resource explaining how ranking works across each part of its app – Feed, Stories, Explore and Reels.

The most important signals Instagram looks at for Reels are user activity, the user's history of interactions with an account, reel information, and creator information.
