Even though you've tried various tips, your Reels still struggle to gain views. Unlike TikTok's quick popularity, Instagram's views come from having followers. According to experts, reasons for low Reel views could include: Using clips from other platforms like TikTok. Bad video quality (too dark or blurry). Not trying Instagram's Reels tools. Missing an exciting start in the first 3 seconds. Not optimizing your Reels for engagement.
