There are SO many updates to keep up with in the social media world, so we’ll be keeping you up-to-date with the lowdown each week! 💁🏻♀️
Here’s what’s been happening over the last week 👇🏻
🌟 Instagram is REMOVING the option to follow hashtags! On December 13th, hashtags you follow will no longer be visible in your feed and you won’t be able to follow more of them. I’m really hoping that this means that in 2025, Instagram will focus on improving its search capability!
🌟 Threads is testing custom feeds of topics and people they want to follow around specific subjects. If you’re in the test, you can pull down on the home screen and switch between the For You feed, Following feed and your custom feeds.
🌟 Instagram is testing an option that allows users to reset their recommendations for content they see in Explore, Reels and Feed if/when they want a “fresh start.”
🌟 TikTok could soon allow creators to build virtual avatars that resemble “ their personality and thinking, enabling continuous interaction with users 24/7.”
🌟 Snapchat launches its first Sponsored Snaps campaign - which allows ads to be inserted directly into users inboxes - the campaign? Promoting the new movie, Wicked.
🌟 Instagram highlights could be moving! They are moving into their own tab on your profile. It looks like this is still in testing, but I’m curious to know how you feel about this? Love it, hate it? I quite like the idea of a dedicated section but, if it isn’t broke, does it need fixing?
🌟 Threads is working on the ability to schedule posts. This has been a long time coming, and it would be awesome to have this as a native feature on the app!
🌟 Bluesy surpasses 20M users! The app is still making waves in the social space - are you using it? Are any of your clients on it?
🌟 LinkedIn shares what to do and what NOT to do on the platform. There’s nothing particularly new here but it’s always good to hear it from the horse's mouth - essentially, be original, post insightful content and don’t do any engagement bait or add any irrelevant posts and comments.
