After testing it out with IG Reels, Fb can also be now attempting out a brand new “Clear Mode” for uncluttered Reels viewing within the app.
As you may see in these screenshots, shared by app researcher Radu Oncescu, Fb is experimenting with a brand new choice that may allow customers to cover the outline and UI buttons on Reels clips, for a cleaner viewing expertise.
Meta’s “Clear Mode,” which might be activated by long-pressing on the display, will make it simpler to observe Reels in full, and may very well be significantly helpful for clips which have parts obscured by the on-screen textual content and performance buttons.
Although it’s not lively as but.
As famous, Meta’s been experimenting with the identical on IG for the previous few months, although the performance hasn’t had a broader launch as but. Presumably, Fb’s clear mode is trailing behind that, so whereas it’s coming, it’s not going to be accessible to everybody simply but.
Unsurprisingly, TikTok additionally has the identical performance, which it’s had for years, enabling customers to take away the UI and outline textual content by lengthy urgent on a clip. The one limitation is you may solely clear the show for every video that you simply’re watching, one after the other, and as quickly as you swipe to the following video, the UI parts return.
Which truly is sensible, as TikTok needs to focus on the creator of every clip, and I’d be guessing that Meta’s Reels clear mode will perform in the identical manner.
When it’s finally launched.
We’ll hold you up to date on any progress.
