To send gifts on Instagram Reels, you’ll need to have a Stars balance on Instagram. You can purchase stars and update your balance each time you send a gift.
Note: Your Facebook Stars balance can’t be used to send gifts on Instagram. At this time, stars must be used on the app where they’re purchased.
Before you begin
You’ll need to set up a payment method for in-app purchases in the App Store or Google Play Store.
