Social Media News to Know: August 2020

Kaetlyn Hernandez   |   Insights   |   No comment

You may not always have the time to learn about the latest and greatest social media trends (let alone the luxury of resources and budget to implement them). Instead, let Tripepi Smith provide you with a regular roundup of social media news we think you need to know. Here are three stories that caught our attention this past month:

  1. Instagram launched Reels, which is very similar to TikTok. Reels is a way to create short, entertaining videos that can be shared to your story, close friends and in direct messages. If shared on your story, it will disappear after 24 hours.
  2. Facebook is testing advanced following options for users to customize their news feed and make it easier to get updates from Pages they are most interested in. Users will be able to designate specific pages as “favorites,” and choose whether they want to be notified about posts, videos and/or live videos.
  3. Instagram introduced Guides to create a supportive community amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. As of now, Instagram is focusing Guides on wellness content, which can be found in the Explore tab.
