Reels Insights has been updated

To help you better understand how your content is performing, we are improving Reels insights. With the addition of two new measures, total watch time and average watch time. It will now be easy to review your insights while immediately seeing your reels.

Total watch time is the sum of all viewing time for your reel, including any replaying time. The average amount of time spent watching your reel can be calculated by dividing the average watch time by the total number of plays.
