Recently, CEO Adam Mosseri debunked a popular myth about Instagram posts and their engagements. That said, what should you know about it?

Meta is reportedly planning to launch a new social media platform to compete with Twitter, codenamed “Project 92”. Based on internal documents, the name for the platform could be “Threads”.

Instagram has finally added a feature that many users have been requesting for ages: The ability to put more links in the bio. Announced by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Instagram users can now add up to 5 links to their profile bio.

Meta-owned social media platform Instagram has announced that it will be making a few changes to the app’s navigation to make it easier for people to share and connect with their friends and interests. Interestingly, the refresh also meant the complete removal of the Shop tab which is currently part of Instagram’s main menu tabs. 

It looks like Instagram is not done with experimenting with its app just yet even after making a ‘u-turn’ on its recommended posts change following criticisms from fans. Now, the social media platform is doubling-down on full-screen content in its bid to compete with TikTok, this time by introducing ultra-tall 9:16 photos.

Meta-owned social media platform Instagram is currently working on a new ‘Live Producer’ tool that allows users to hold Instagram Live sessions from their desktops. Furthermore, the tool also allows users to use third-party streaming softwares for a higher quality production.

Instagram yesterday announced that it is revamping the app by introducing ‘Favourites’ and ‘Following’, two new ways for your feed to behave. The good news is, regardless of which option you take, your feed will display posts in chronological order again!

Shared by the Head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri via a Meta blogpost yesterday, the change is part of the platform’s initiative to give users more choice and control over what they see in their feed. Furthermore, the change wants to make the time users spend on Instagram ‘feel more intentional’.

It looks like Instagram has given up on its attempt to capture the long-form video market following the company’s move to kill off the IGTV standalone app. In an official blog post on Monday (28 February 2022), Instagram confirmed that it is discontinuing support for the IGTV app thus ending the service as a whole. RIP!
