The Head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri, explains 2 key features you might not know about - mute and restrict. Additionally, the Edits team has been adding new features to the app, and YouTube's Creator Insider team shares some updates about what they're working on. After the theme music, I do Wednesday Waffle, where I talk about something different for a bit.
Are you struggling to manage your Instagram feed without unfollowing friends or feeling overwhelmed by unwanted content? Join me, Daniel Hill, in this exciting episode of The Instagram Stories as I play a clip of Adam Mosseri, the Head of Instagram, about two powerful yet underutilized features that can transform your social media experience: Mute and Restrict.
Adam shares invaluable insights into how the Mute feature allows users to curate their Instagram experience by stopping posts and stories from specific accounts without severing ties. This is especially beneficial for those navigating content overload or wanting a break from certain accounts while maintaining their connections. We also dive deep into the Restrict feature, a game-changer for anyone facing harassment. This 'shadow block' option enables users to hide comments from restricted accounts, creating a safer online environment while still allowing the original commenter to see their remarks. These features are essential for anyone managing a brand's online presence or those who may have experienced bullying on social media.
But that's not all! I also share the latest updates from the Instagram Edits app, including new beat markers and enhanced inspiration tools that are perfect for content creators looking to elevate their Instagram game. Additionally, we hear from Lauren, a Program Manager at YouTube, who discusses the feedback surrounding the removal of the revert to original feature in YouTube Creator Studio and the exciting new playlist collaboration features that are on the horizon.
This episode is packed with social media tips and insider insights on Instagram, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in social media marketing, influencer marketing, and the ever-evolving landscape of Instagram features and updates. Whether you're looking to refine your Instagram DM strategy or stay updated on TikTok trends, this episode delivers the social media insights you need to navigate the creator economy effectively.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to enhance your understanding of Instagram and stay ahead in the world of social media. Tune in now to discover how you can leverage these Instagram features for a better social media experience!
