In this post, we'll look at last month's most significant social media updates and how they might impact your marketing efforts in June. From new features to algorithm changes, we've got you covered on all the latest happenings in social media. So let's dive in and see what's new in social media!
After a quiet spell last month, Facebook has launched two updates on the platform, these are both give you new ways to discover and personalize reels.
Finding engaging Reels that match your interests is now simpler than ever. Facebook has added Reels to the main navigation at the top of Facebook Watch, providing quick access to short-form videos.
This enhancement lets you explore creators, stay up-to-date with trends, and quickly discover captivating content.
Like other Facebook personalization tools, it is important to have control over the Reels you see on the platform. Facebook has introduced two new features to enhance your Reels personalization:
Show More, Show Less
To give you more control over the content you see, you can now inform Facebook about the types of Reels you want to see more or less of. Simply tap the three-dot menu at the bottom of the video player and select "Show More" or "Show Less."
You'll also find this option below reels and videos in your Watch feed. Choosing "Show More" temporarily boosts the ranking score of the selected Reel and similar content, increasing their visibility in your feed. Conversely, selecting "Show Less" temporarily decreases the ranking score, resulting in fewer identical Reels being shown.
Contextual Labels:
To provide transparency and insight into why certain Reels appear in your feed, Facebook is launching new labels on the Reels video player. These labels will explain the reason behind seeing specific Reels, such as when your friend liked them. This feature aims to enhance your understanding of the content you come across, making your Reels experience more engaging and informative.
Instagram has recently released an update that will enable you to include up to five links in your Instagram bio. This feature allows personal trainers to drive traffic like never before.
Once you've posted or added a link, your Instagram profile bio will display the remaining links, indicated by a "linking profile" option. When users tap on it, they'll be presented with a Linktree-like overview of the various link options you've enabled.
This makes it easier than ever for your audience to navigate and explore the content you've shared.
Adding multiple links to your Instagram profile is easy. Simply follow these steps:
1. Go to 'Edit profile.'
2. Click on 'Links.'
3. Select 'Add external link.'
4. Drag and drop the links to order them as desired within the app.
Panic no more when you send a message to a client by mistake. In their latest update, WhatsApp now allows you to edit your messages.
With the new editing feature, you have greater control over your chats. Whether it's fixing a simple misspelling or providing additional information
Here is how it works:
Editing Sent Messages:
Simply long-press on your message and select "Edit" from the menu. You have up to 15 minutes to make the necessary edits. This gives you ample time to correct errors or add essential details to your previous messages.
Clearly Indicated Edits:
Edited messages will be marked as "edited," ensuring conversation transparency. This way, the recipients of your messages will be aware of the correction without seeing the edit history.
Privacy and Security:
Like all personal messages, media, and calls on WhatsApp, the messages you send and any subsequent edits you make are protected by end-to-end encryption. Therefore, your privacy and security remain paramount.
