Hey, Monday 👋 Let’s start the week with the updates we all struggle to keep up with... changes to social media channels! 👇 ✅ With Threads' continued growth, Meta has announced a new range of features for the app, including analytics, post drafts, and scheduling capability. 👋 LinkedIn has outlined improvements in its semantic search capacity, sharing concepts and keywords in posts is a key driver in its categorisation. In turn, this means a reduced need for hashtags to get your content seen on LinkedIn...so on that note, bye-bye LinkedIn #s!  👀 Meta has announced a range of ad optimisation and integration options coming in the second half of this year, including ‘Conversion Value Rules’ which will allow businesses to express which audience/conversions they value more, to better optimise campaigns. We’re interested to know...are you an avid Threads user? Or are you planning to join the app anytime soon? Let us know ⬇️

Welcome to a new week everyone! If you spent the whole weekend watching the #ParisOlympics, then you might have missed the latest social media news and updates. Lucky for you, we've listed everything you need to know below ⬇️ 🧑💻 X has added a setting which permits them to use your posts and activity on the app to train its Grok AI chatbot. You can opt out by going to 👉 X settings > Privacy and Safety > Data Sharing and Personalisation > Grok > Data Sharing > toggle the option to off. From one AI chatbot to another... 🤖 Meta has expanded its Meta AI chatbot to seven more languages and introduced new features, including AI-generated images for chats and posts, and the ability to choose different AI models for various functions. 📷 Social media enthusiasts rejoiced last week as TikTok added an "upload thumbnail" option. You can now add custom thumbnails and use them to attract viewers in search and on your profile. We wonder if this means the return of the classic YouTube clickbait red arrow... 📈 Meta's ad-free subscription in Europe, which lets users pay to opt out of ads and data tracking, is facing issues. The EU Commission ruled it non-compliant with the Digital Markets Act, and the CPC has deemed its marketing misleading, requiring an explanation and revision. #SocialMedia #SocialMediaUpdates #SocialMediaNews
