TikTok

  • TikTok launched AI-generated content labeling to help creators proactively disclose this type of content. The "AI-generated content" toggle in upload settings can prevent accidental removals.
  • TikTok is testing integrating podcasts by letting users share podcast links through RSS feeds. This opens a new content distribution avenue for podcasters.
  • An American Idol-style live streaming music competition called "Gimme the Mic" is launching. It incorporates real-time fan voting, capitalizing on TikTok's interactivity.
  • The new Creator Center beta features improved analytics and usability like desktop access and a streamlined interface.

Instagram

  • Instagram expanded Reels API capabilities for social media management platforms. New options include publishing Reels and adding music.
  • Carousel posts can now include music, boosting multimedia engagement.
  • Collabs allow creators to co-author both posts and Reels with up to three friends for interactive content.
  • The Add Yours sticker lets creators prompt followers to participate in viral challenges within Reels.
  • Group tags in Stories and post share counts are being tested. Instagram is also developing a separate feed with only verified accounts.

YouTube

  • YouTube launched a new metric for creators to see the number of new and returning viewers. This provides more insight into audience growth.
  • Channel descriptions now support up to 14 links for promoting associated content.
  • Interlinking Shorts and long-form videos aims to drive traffic between the two formats.
  • However, clickable links were removed from Shorts due to misuse.
  • Viewer personalization efforts include not recommending videos when watch history is off and a metric for new versus returning viewers.

Staying up-to-date allows you to maximize new features and adapt approaches early on.
