Instagram added an enhanced cropping tool to Edits on iOS. Users can select specific areas or aspect ratios for their videos to crop and reposition.

Why It Matters: This helps creators optimize content for different formats and platforms, making it easier to repurpose videos. While Instagram ultimately wants creators to post Reels, it’s also positioning Edits as a tool for creating content beyond Instagram.
