Instagram has recently rolled out a new feature called "Broadcasts". 🔊
A new way for creators to deepen connections with followers...or just just fill the space with unwanted noise?
With options such as text, photo, video and voice notes creators can now effortlessly share their latest updates and behind-the-scenes moments to those who have ‘opted in’. Additionally, creators can even create polls to gather feedback from their fans. While only creators can send messages, followers can react to content and participate in polls by casting their votes.
We know Instagram is the Aldi of social channels and this feature feels like their take on the app ‘Telegram’ 📱
Jurys still out for us....would love to know your thoughts! 👇

Instagram have added more ways that creators can earn money across the Metaverse.
Here’s what we know so far 👇

Brands will be able to discover and collaborate with creators (and vice versa) through the Meta Business suite using filters based on demographics and interests.
Reel improvements – proactively cross post your reels to Facebook. This will allow you access to Facebooks monetization tools.
NFT test- expanding test on digital collectibles.

Like counts
What do we all think of this update? 💙
Instagram & Facebook have been testing different options for like counts for some time and yesterday they finally shared that they will be handing control to the user so that YOU can decide whether you want to hide like counts on others’ posts and on your own so people don’t see how many likes you get.
This move by Instagram is in a bid to make users feel good about the time they are spending on the app.
So to hide or not to hide? That is the question….
