Who can create a remix of your reels, videos, and photos on Instagram
The default remix settings of your reels, feed videos, and photos depends on your account’s privacy setting:
- For private accounts: No one can remix your reels, feed videos, and photos.
- For public accounts: Anyone on Instagram can remix your reels, feed videos, and photos shared after remixing became available.
At any time, you can turn off remixing for reels, feed videos, and photos or any combination without changing your account's privacy settings. You can also turn remixing off for individual reels, feed videos, and photos from each post.
