Platform Updates
Instagram Expands Algorithm Controls to Main Feed
Instagram is rolling out user controls for its main feed algorithm, allowing followers to influence what content appears in their timeline. This shift mirrors TikTok's approach and gives users the power to customize topics and filter unwanted content using AI-powered tools.

Threads Simplifies Cross-Posting to Instagram Stories
Meta's Threads platform now makes it easier to share posts directly to Instagram Stories without leaving the app. Public posts are automatically reformatted into full-screen Stories templates, streamlining the workflow for creators managing both platforms.
TikTok Tests New Stories Insights
TikTok is testing an updated Stories insights interface that distinguishes between total viewers and actual followers who viewed a Story. This granular analytics data helps creators better understand their audience composition.
