Is the EU banning TikTok?

Is Instagram actually doing something ... right? It could very well be!?

Quel surprise!?

It's a hectic week in social media this week, so strap in, folks! We're in for a crazy ride. We've got things happening from Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Snapchat, and so much more.?

You ready? Let's do this.

Instagram helping creators? Shocking! ??

Those days of us all complaining about Instagram and its algorithm could soon be numbered! Well, maybe.

Head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri, took to Reels earlier this week to announce a major (and we mean, major!) update to the Instagram algorithm and how it’s going to prioritize original content.

Quickfire news ???

• Meta now lets you tag posts created with AI. But will people actually use it? Probably not.
• Test Reels before publishing to your audience? Instagram is working on this new feature.
• TikTok wants you to start making yourself into an AI avatar.
• Could the EU ban TikTok next?
• Snapchat is letting users edit messages after sending—how could this possibly go wrong?
• Reels are officially getting longer—you can now publish 3 minute Reels.
• You can officially add your own audio files from your camera roll into TikTok.
• Oh, look who is stealing! Snapchat has been inspired by instagram and rolling out templates to create your videos.
• Uh, oh. Looks like TikTok found a loophole in how to get people to tip creators on the app.
