SOCIAL MEDIA NEWS JUNE 2022

Let’s start with Instagram. As always, there was a lot of tinkering and testing. We’ll summarize the most important things for you.

The product tags, which we already know from the Instagram shopping tab, will also be available in the Reels in the future. Here, too, it should be possible to offer products from your own online store directly for purchase. This is a sensible step, because the reels have long been used not only for entertainment but are also a real wonder weapon in marketing.

Speaking of Reels, the platform is already testing offering photos in the feed in Reel character soon.

In addition, it should be possible from now on not only to leave comments under feed posts, but also to send them privately via direct messages. Similar to replies to other users’ Stories, this will then take place in a more private setting.

Another change: so far, we as users are used to Story sequences being displayed as small dashes in the Stories feature. The more stories a person posts, the shorter the strokes become. Now, however, only isolated sequences are to be displayed and a “See more” button is inserted instead. Only when this button is pressed, the rest of the stories will be displayed.
