Instagram Edits App Launch Delayed to March 31, 2025
The Instagram Edits app will now launch on March 31, 2025, instead of its original date of March 13. Meta has not given any reason for the delay, but the App Store has updated the new release date.
What is the Instagram Edits App?
Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri introduced the Edits app as a powerful tool for video creators. The app will offer advanced editing features to make video creation easier and more professional. It aims to help users create high-quality Instagram Reels and other social media content.
Key Features of the Edits App
The Instagram Edits app will include several exciting tools:
- Inspiration tab – Users can explore trending ideas and concepts.
- Idea tracker – Creators can save their content ideas for later use.
- High-quality camera – The app will support better video capture for clear visuals.
- Complete editing tools – Features like trimming, merging, and adjusting clips will be available.
- Draft sharing – Users can collaborate by sharing drafts with friends.
- Seamless export – Edited videos can be shared directly to Instagram or downloaded without a watermark.
- Reels insights – Users will get analytics to track performance and engagement.
Screenshots show that users can crop videos, add sound, voiceovers, and subtitles, and adjust settings like resolution and frame rate.
Why is Instagram Launching a New Video Editor?
Instagram already competes with TikTok through Reels, but it lacks an advanced video editing tool. The Edits app will help Instagram creators edit videos without using third-party apps like CapCut.
Interestingly, Instagram announced the Edits app on the same day the US banned TikTok and CapCut. Many believe Meta wants to attract TikTok and CapCut users to its new platform.
When Will the App Be Available?
The Instagram Edits app will first launch for iPhone users, with an Android version coming later. Meta has not given an exact release date for Android, but it will likely follow soon after the iOS launch.
Final Thoughts
The Instagram Edits app will be a game-changer for content creators. It will offer advanced editing tools, high-quality exports, and seamless integration with Instagram Reels. Although the launch is delayed, users can expect a powerful and professional editing experience when it finally arrives.
