News & Reviews:   instagram

Looks like the Internet is going to be more interesting. Recently, Meta rolled out new AI updates for its apps. That includes WhatsApp, Instagram and even Facebook Messenger. That said, what should you know about it?

If you are an avid user of Instagram and Facebook, this news might excite you.  Meta is considering an ad-free plan for these apps soon. That said, what should you know about it?

Instagram is a great social media platform. It helps you keep up with your loved ones, friends and even your favourite artists. But that is not all, you can share your favourite memes, videos and pictures too. However, you might have received unsolicited images or videos from strangers on the platform. To combat this, Instagram introduced a new feature.

Today, Youtube released new features for Shorts. According to the company, this is a lightweight and fun way to create and share short-form videos on YouTube. These new features range from remixing tools to expanding the Youtube Partner Programme so they can monetise their shorts.

Previously, we mentioned how Tiktok gathered over 325 million users in Southeast Asia. While this is understandable considering the app’s popularity, it has yet to rival Instagram. According to YPulse, Instagram’s popularity has grown in recent months. So how did this happen? What drives these generations here?

It's been almost a week since Threads launched and even until now, most of us have no clue what to do with the app. Although it's mimicking Twitter, its role is quite different from what we expect, at least according to Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri.

While everyone is exploring how Threads work, some discovered that deleting your Threads account is not that simple. In the Supplemental Privacy Policy section, it is stated that “Your Threads Profile is Part of Your Instagram Account. Therefore, it may be deleted at any time by deleting your Instagram account”.

Finally, Instagram will allow users to download Reels in the app. The announcement was made by Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri on his Instagram broadcast channel. However, this feature is only available in the US for now.

Just yesterday, a short clip of Singaporean comedian Jocelyn Chia was circulating around the internet and apparently caused a lot of controversy. As a result of her outrageous jokes with reference to Malaysia, particularly the tragic MH370, her Instagram and Twitter account got suspended.

Apparently, Instagram servers were down when we were asleep last night. According to sources, it happened for a few hours on Sunday evening (US time) when the feed was frozen still and couldn't refresh. Even the website version was blank.
