The company explained in a statement feedback from professional users of the app motivated its move, which provides access to metrics covering the number of video plays, likes, comments, shares and accounts reached accounts on its short-form video service Reels and broadcast feature Live.
Businesses and content creators will also gain access to insights on the role of broadcasting content on Reels and Live within the broader performance of their accounts, and on the most effective formats to drive user engagement.
