What's New On Instagram? Instagram Updates: Read the latest news about the platform ⬇️ 👉 (Follow us for more Instagram updates!) 📣 Instagram Tests Tab for Story Highlights Instagram is testing a new profile layout that could change how we view Story Highlights! The update introduces a dedicated tab for featured Stories, making organizing and showcasing your content more accessible. With dual-display functionality and a Reels-style organization, the new layout will give your Stories enhanced visibility. Story Highlights will now appear in the main profile grid, as well as a separate tab alongside regular posts and the Reels tab. This change improves content accessibility and streamlines profile navigation for a more user-friendly experience. In a limited rollout phase and testing in select markets, Adam Mosseri hinted at this feature, which is expected to be officially announced soon. 🗣️ Instagram Denies Reducing Reach of Sponsored Content Adam Mosseri, Instagram’s head, has debunked another common myth in his ongoing series of informative posts. This time, he’s addressing the rumor that Instagram purposely downranks posts labeled as “sponsored” to force brands to pay for more reach. Mosseri clarified, “We don’t downrank posts that you mark as sponsored. It helps us understand Instagram to know what is sponsored, but it’s important for creators to mark things as sponsored without fear of downranking so they can comply with local laws globally.” This post is part of Mosseri’s broader effort to clarify common misconceptions about Instagram. 🤖 Instagram Tests Simplified AI Profile Image Generation Instagram is testing a new feature that could change the way users update their profile pictures. The app is experimenting with AI-generated profile images, allowing users to create more stylized, artistic versions of themselves directly from their profile editing options. While this may be a fresh approach for Instagram, it’s not entirely new in the social media world. However, the move raises questions about authenticity. Social media has long struggled with bots and fake profiles, with AI-generated images sometimes used to deceive users. via Lindsey Gamble , Adam Mosseri , and Social Media Today, LLC ) *source links in the comment section 👇 #creatoreconomy #privacy #influencermarketing #instagram #updates #news #reels #creators #brandsafety #brandsuitability

What's New On Instagram? Instagram Updates: Read the latest news about the platform 🗒 👉 (Follow us for more Instagram updates!) 💌 Instagram Adds DM Filters for Creators Instagram has just rolled out new messaging filters designed specifically for creators! These updates make managing message requests easier and quickly finding key inquiries in a crowded inbox. Now, creators can sort DMs by criteria like the sender's follower count, verified accounts, and even separate messages from brands or other creators. A dedicated "Story Replies" folder lets creators easily distinguish actual messages from Story reactions to focus on real connections and collaboration requests. nstagram says it’s “continuing to invest in improvements” to make navigating DMs even easier for creators, so we may see further updates soon! 📈 Instagram Expands Post Boosting to More Formats Instagram expanded its post-boosting options, giving users even more ways to amplify their top-performing content! Previously, specific posts with GIFs, stickers, or copyrighted music faced restrictions and couldn't be boosted. Now, Instagram's latest update allows most GIFs and stickers to be eligible for boosting, making it easier to turn your standout organic posts into promoted ones. If you've ever hit a wall trying to boost posts, it might be worth revisiting those popular updates to extend their reach while trending. While most GIFs and stickers are now eligible, copyrighted music remains restricted. But there's a new option: swap out restricted tracks for a boost-friendly song to keep the momentum going. 🔒 Instagram Introduces AI for Age Checks, Teen Safety Meta is stepping up safety on Instagram with new AI-powered tools focused on protecting teens. Using advanced "Adult Classifier" technology and automated age detection, Instagram aims to curb age misrepresentation while enhancing privacy for younger users. The system will categorize users as under or over 18, track content interaction, analyze follower connections, and even scan birthday posts to ensure age consistency. Privacy adjustments will kick in automatically for teen accounts, imposing age-based content restrictions and blocking unwanted interactions. This proactive age verification approach directly addresses parental concerns and keeps teens' experiences age-appropriate.

What's New On Meta? Meta Updates: Read the latest news about the platform 🗒 👉 (Follow us for more Meta updates!) 🔎 Meta Builds AI Search Engine to Reduce Google Dependence Meta is developing its AI-driven search engine to cut ties with Google and Microsoft Bing for its chatbot's information needs. This in-house search engine aims to respond directly to topics like news and sports, reducing reliance on external search providers. Meta's web crawlers are already gathering data to support this initiative, which is a backup if Google or Microsoft end their partnerships. Beyond contingency, the project is part of Meta's long-term goal to enhance its AI models with more controlled data sources. 📈 Meta Q3 Earnings Surpass Expectations with 19% Revenue Growth Meta's latest earnings report reveals weaker-than-expected user growth and warns of rising infrastructure costs in 2025. In after-hours trading, the stock saw a slight dip. Key figures include earnings per share at $6.03, above the $5.25 forecast, and revenue at $40.59 billion, surpassing the $40.29 billion estimate. Sales grew 19% year over year, with net income up 35% to $15.7 billion. However, daily active users reached 3.29 billion, just shy of the anticipated 3.31 billion. Despite these challenges, Meta forecasts fourth-quarter revenue between $45 billion and $48 billion, surpassing analyst expectations. As competitors like Alphabet and Microsoft report strong earnings, all eyes remain on Meta's evolving strategy in the digital advertising space. 📱 Meta Develops AI to Catch Teens Lying About Age Meta is harnessing AI to identify users misrepresenting their age on Facebook and Instagram, aiming to shield minors from potential harm. According to Bloomberg, the tech giant is developing an "adult classifier" that will categorize users as either older or younger than 18 by analyzing their account data, including follower lists and interactions. This new AI system is set for live testing on Instagram early next year, enhancing Meta's efforts amid increasing scrutiny regarding the impact of its platforms on teens. In response, Meta suggests that app stores enforce age restrictions to prevent young users from creating accounts. Until broader regulations take effect, the focus remains on improving existing measures to ensure young users' safety online.
