Instagram has added another feature that seems to have been picked directly from TikTok. This includes the ability to add a video as a reply to a comment. The feature is similar to TikTok's ability to respond to videos with videos. The feature is currently, however, limited to reel comments only.
“We are excited to launch Reels Visual Replies, a new feature to interact with your audience. You can now reply to comments with a video and the comment will appear as a sticker," Instagram said in a tweet announcing the feature.

Here's everything you need to know about the new feature.
Instagram's new visual responses feature allows a user to respond to comments in their own reels with another video. This new function will appear as a sticker in the comment reply.
Only users who post a reels will be able to reply to comments with new reels. Other viewers can comment with just plain text. Therefore, users will not be able to reply to reel comments with their own reel unless the original video was uploaded by them.
When a user who has uploaded a video opens the comment section, he/she will be able to reply to comments with text as well as new videos. Users can record a new reel to respond to or simply upload an existing video, which could be an older reel.
