You can increase your Instagram reels views if you have a good strong cover image. The essence of an attractive cover image is to catch the attention of your audience and to keep them from scrolling away from your footage.
Instagram adds a default image but you can change to your own custom cover image when publishing and on already published reels video. You can either change the Instagram reels cover image just before publishing your reel, or on an already published reel.
In the guide below, we will learn how to change the Instagram reels cover image.
