WhatsApp has updated its messaging service with support for group video calls, allowing you to chat with up to three more people simultaneously on its iOS and Android apps.
To use the new feature, you’ll need to first start a one-on-one voice or video call with a contact, and then tap the ‘add participant’ button at the top right of your screen.

As noted, Instagram Stories ads use the same targeting and measurement tools as ads that run in the News Feed on Facebook and Instagram. In addition to this, you can also use the available data to target audiences who’ve seen your Stories Ads and reach them on Facebook or Instagram, or you can do the opposite, targeting Stories ads at audiences that have seen your ad on Facebook or Instagram feed, helping to expand your message and increase brand exposure.

#Facebook is Testing a New System to Dispell Fake News Before You Share it
As you can see, when a user has shared a post about an unnamed ‘medical advancement’, Facebook has provided a set of links beneath that article, which could help to expose readers to alternate perspectives on the topic.
So, for example, if the post were about how new research shows smoking is actually good for you, Facebook could counter that with reports underlining that that’s not actually true. And if there are three reports immediately below contradicting it, and they’re all from reputable sources, maybe the user will think twice about the validity of the original story.
Facebook says the new related links will appear on topics ‘many people are talking about on Facebook’ and may include content from third-party fact-checkers. This could give Facebook an easy way to immediately dispel rumors which are gaining traction – while they wouldn’t need to add these pre-emptive related stories links to every post, if Facebook’s editorial team identified a false report which was gaining traction, they could quickly tag it to have these qualifying insights linked to it. #socialmedia #brandsaid

#Facebook Unveils Camera Effects Platform, the Next Evolution of Visual Communication
The new platform incorporates two creative tools – Frame Studio and AR studio.
"Frame Studio is a web-based tool which enables anyone with a profile or Page to design frames for use on profile pictures or in the new Facebook camera. Frames that are made in Frame Studio will appear in the cameras of your friends or Page fans. It will also feature the creator's name alongside the effect in the camera as well as in the final posts in News Feed."

Facebook Announces Group Payments in Messenger
Group Payments, which are now being made available to all Messenger users in the U.S.
As you can see, by tapping on the new “+” icon at the bottom left of screen (which was introduced as part of the recent introduction of M suggestions), you can now select a new payments option, which enables you to either send or request payments to/from group members.
As highlighted in the video, this could be helpful when splitting the bill at a restaurant or contributing to a group gift purchase. The process is free (Facebook has repeatedly stated it’s not interested in building a payments business with Messenger) and easy, and also enables group members to keep track of whose made payments, which could also add a little bit of helpful peer pressure.
Facebook’s Providing a New Personal Fundraising Option, Expanding Donate Buttons in #Facebook Live
As explained by Facebook: “Personal fundraisers allow people to raise money for themselves, a friend or someone or something not on Facebook - for example a pet.”
The process here is fairly straight-forward – if you have a personal cause you want to promote, you can now create a Page to raise funds for that cause, where people will be able to donate via secure payments without leaving Facebook. Once they’ve donated, they’ll also be able to forward your message to more people, raising awareness of your campaign. #socialmedia #brandsaid
