Instagram Expands Algorithm Control Features
Instagram continues rolling out its "Your Algorithm" feature with new testing phases designed to make it easier for users to shape their content feeds. The platform is exploring multiple access points and interface changes to help users customize what they see without leaving the app.

These tests represent a significant shift in platform philosophy. Rather than relying on predictive algorithms that operate in the background, Instagram is now testing settings that "align with users' needs and preferences."
Threads Adds Direct Cross-Posting to Stories
Meta's Threads platform now makes it easier to share posts directly to Instagram Stories without leaving the app. Public posts can be instantly reformatted into a full-screen Stories template, streamlining the cross-posting workflow between the two platforms.
