Earlier this week, Instagram introduced three new video editing features for Reels, the platform’s answer to TikTok

Content created using Collab will show up on both users’ accounts. Collaborators can be added from the app’s tagging screen.

Businesses with boosted posts can now drive traffic directly to their WhatsApp accounts, and start conversations with prospective customers.

Instagram users can now schedule live sessions 90 days in advance using the Live Creation form. 

Instagram is developing features that will encourage young people to “take a break” from the app and nudge them toward more positive content.

A tool called Account Status will make it easier for users to review and appeal content violations.

Similar to Facebook Groups, Twitter Communities will be created and managed by admins and moderators. During the rollout, members will be added on an invite-only basis.

Twitter is rolling out its tipping feature — Tips — to all users globally. The tool will make it easier for creators to collect tips and donations on the platform.

The IGTV profile tab will be replaced by a Video tab, making it easier for users to browse an account’s video content in one place.

In what seems to be a global outage, tens of thousands of users are having trouble accessing Facebook’s social media platforms: Facebook, Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp.

The decision follows the leak of internal research, reported in The Wall Street Journal, which explored the impact of the app on teen mental health. 

In addition to the launch of Facebook Reels, the company announced plans to invest $1 billion in creators through Reels Summer bonuses into a Reels Play bonus, which will be available on both platforms.
