The biggest social media headlines from May ??
Happy Tuesday!?
I’ve done your social media news homework for you! Here are some of the biggest headlines from May.
Let's get right into it. ??
Here are the top social media updates from May 2024
In no particular order, here are the biggest updates from Meta, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Pinterest, and more.
What’s new from Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Threads) in May 2024
In a recent Q&A, Instagram Head Adam Mosseri said that the number of shares a post has impacts reach more than comment count or watch time.
Instagram is testing a "Lately" story highlight. When this option is turned on, the highlight will save your stories from the past 7 days for your followers to view.
At a Creator event in NYC, Head of Instagram Adam Mosseri said that reels longer than 90 seconds will hurt its distribution. This is very interesting since Instagram keeps increasing reel length times. ??
Instagram is changing its algorithm so that smaller creators can get more reach. These changes include:?
?? Replacing reposts with original content in recommendations
?? Adding labels to reposted content, linking to the original creator
?? Removing content aggregators from recommendations
