Platform Updates
Meta announced the launch of "Your Algorithm," a new AI-powered feature on Facebook that allows users to customize their feed preferences. This feature was previously launched on Instagram and is now expanding to the broader Meta ecosystem.
Additionally, Instagram has updated its carousel functionality. Users can now rearrange the order of images and videos within a carousel post after it has been published. This update utilizes a simple drag-and-drop function, enabling creators to optimize the sequence for better performance or to better reflect their content strategy.
Trending
A viral trend on Instagram involves users combining half of their face with half of a parent's face to highlight genetic similarities. While the trend emerged in August 2026, it remains active and has expanded to include siblings, other relatives, and couples.
Another emerging trend encourages brands to showcase their evolution by posting a lineup of old logos alongside a "hilariously fake imposter," challenging audiences to spot the difference. This trend leverages trending audio to add a relatable, human touch to brand accounts.
Creator Watch
TikTok continues to dominate audience growth and engagement metrics. Recent reports indicate that TikTok led audience growth with a 200% year-over-year median follower increase and delivered the highest engagement rates, generating more than twice the median interactions of Instagram and significantly outperforming Facebook.
