- X: You can now create TikTok-style reaction videos directly from the repost menu.
- Google for creators: Google is launching “search profiles” for creators and publishers giving you a dedicated central hub to showcase your latest articles, videos, and social posts in search results.
- Edits App: New creative tools are here! Expect upgraded fonts and audio options including custom audio imports and a smart tool that auto-matches audio levels across clips and voiceovers.
- Instagram Hack: Hackers briefly figured out a way to hijack Instagram accounts by tricking the Meta AI chatbot into giving them access. Meta said that’s been fixed!!
