I don’t see the option to change the cover of my reels. I go to reels, click edit, and then there are no little white letters to click on in order to change the reels. I have a content creator account. Any tips?

  That is so frustrating! You’re not the only one. Unfortunately Instagram isn’t good about updating everyone with everything all the time. Hopefully it shows up soon, but do know you are not the only one that doesn’t see the option.
