How to Disable Reels on Facebook

While those who used Tik Tok are more or less lauding the reels feature on Facebook due to the similarity to the app above, some are not so fond of the feature. 

Reels can either be intellectual or outright offensive and be slightly disturbing, if not even brutally violent if the content creator belongs to that genre.

It is also likely that one might be tired of seeing reels at every turn while surfing on Facebook, regardless of whether the reel is good.

Unfortunately, Facebook doesn’t include an in-built feature to disable a Facebook reel. Although it is still possible to disable a Facebook reel with different methods, albeit these will include some complexity along with following the parts accurately, to do this, follow the steps below:
