Instagram is nudging users to make in-feed posts they share to Stories full-screen.

Instagram introduced a new Expander feature for Stories

Facebook is giving creators a new way to make money—this time through public Stories. Creators in the Facebook Content Monetization program can now earn from Stories, just like they do with videos, Reels, and posts.

Instagram is testing the ability for creators to add captions to their Stories.

Facebook announced that Views will now be the primary metric for posts, following Instagram’s lead.

Instagram is moving Story Highlights to their own dedicated tab on user profiles, according to screenshots shared by a Reddit user.

In a recent AMA, Adam Mosseri revealed that the platform will adjust the quality of Reels, Stories, and Photos, based on performance and network conditions, such as slow Wi-Fi.

Instagram is reportedly developing a new Collage feature for Stories.

Instagram has introduced several new text-based creative tools. For Reels and Stories, users now have access to expanded fonts, effects, and animations, along with a simplified text tool. For Photos and Carousels, users can now add text and layer images using stickers.

Instagram is testing a vertical profile grid format, displaying posts as rectangles instead of the traditional square format. This change was initially discovered by several creators, and Instagram head Adam Mosseri later confirmed the test during a recent Ask Me Anything session.

Twitch has expanded the rollout of its redesigned mobile app.

Twitch has expanded its Stories feature to include videos up to 60 seconds long.
