Meta doesn’t want to be left behind every move TikTok Makes it follows. The company has started rolling out Facebook Reels API for developers to integrate into their apps.
The move will allow users to directly share Reels on Facebook pages from third-party apps using the “Share to Reels” feature.
“Facebook Reels API will enable 3rd party platforms to directly enable a ‘share to reels’ feature, removing friction for users previously using 3rd party platforms and then uploading at a later time to Facebook. This API will allow a one-button sharing directly from their preferred 3rd party platform,” the company said in a blog post.
If a developer integrates this feature, users can use a third-party app to post Reels and post to a page they’re an admin of. However, this API doesn’t allow apps to post Reels to groups or individual users.
Meta also launched an auto-generated Reels tool for Facebook that made a memory clip Reel using your previously shared Stories.
One is concerned about Meta, they just copy and paste what TikTok is doing. Keep them copying TikTok so that meta can keep copying what you guys are doing.
