News & Reviews:   Instagram

Looks like Meta does not plan on stopping. Previously, we mentioned how Meta aims to bring the “Broadcast Channel” feature to Facebook and Messenger. Today, the company plans to bring Android-theme icons to both Instagram and Facebook.

Meta-owned social media platform Instagram is introducing a new feature soon, which involves Polls. Currently under testing, users can soon create Polls in the comments section of an Instagram post.

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?

Previously, we shared how the Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp is working on a multi-account feature on the app. Now, it looks like the feature is getting closer to prime time as it’s now available to some beta testers of the app.

With X (Twitter) losing its user base, you'd think Threads was well-positioned to take over. But that's not the case, with the latter's daily active user count falling by over 80% within a month. Fortunately, an upcoming update could turn things around.

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.

When Threads first launched, it was met with hype and excitement for Internet users to explore the platform. However, half of the daily active users on Threads were gone after a week, and right now, the platform continues to drop drastically before reaching a month.

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?

Today, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg finally announced that Threads will have a new Following feature update. It was confirmed on his Instagram broadcast channel, where Threads users can check out posts of people that they follow instead of random accounts. 

It's been more than a week since Threads by Instagram launched. As always, it was met with enthusiasm on how it would compete with Twitter. It even crossed over 100 million users in just five days but it seems that the hype has gone down considerably.
