Ankita Shrivastav calls the process of finding the right audio to go with her Instagram posts “a family affair”. “Everyone pitches in with suggestions, and when I don’t pick their choice, I end up sending apology notes,” says the Mumbai-based actor and standup comedian. She thanks them for at least keeping her up to date with the latest trends in music. Known as @filmychokri on Instagram, where she has nearly 600,000 followers, Shrivastav admits that the music selection process has sometimes delayed the uploading of her posts by 20 to 40 minutes. “It’s not just about picking a track,” she says. “It has to be aesthetically right, it has to match the story you are trying to tell in the Reel and match the story that’s going on in the world at the time… It has to be today and trending.”

Instagram's decision came after mounting criticism from several influential creators, who claimed that their original work is not receiving much eyeballs as reposted content is ranked better on social media platform. “First, when we find reposted content in recommendations, we will replace it with the original.

Threads via a mobile browser is now an option. I prefer accessing social media services through the mobile web rather than downloading an app." As per HT Tech, the introduction of a mobile web version is a significant relief for numerous Threads users who have voiced their frustration about the lack of such functionality.

Instagram is expanding its Close Friends feature beyond Stories and Notes to feed posts and Reels. Now, users will be able to share Reels and feed posts with a smaller, more trusted group instead of everyone who follows them, according to Engadget.

Adam Mosseri stated that Threads has no intentions of actively promoting hard news or political content on its platform. He reiterated this stance during a recent Instagram creator event, as reported by TechCrunch. Mosseri emphasized the platform's commitment to empowering creators without leaning heavily into news, clarifying that they are not against news content.

Elon Musk's X starts showing clickbait ads that can't be blocked or reported, users say ‘reminds me of…’ However, shortly after the launch of Threads, Instagram boss Adam Mosseri in an interaction with The Verge had said that the goal of Threads was not to replace Twitter, but to create a 'public square for communities on Instagram'. Mosseri had also said:“Politics and hard news are important, I don't want to imply otherwise.

Meta Platforms plans to launch a web version of microblogging app Threads early this week, the biggest new feature to be introduced on its competitor to Elon Musk’s X. The desktop version would address one of the biggest of a long wish list of features users have sought for Threads. The text-first social-media app appeared on track to be a smash hit out of the gate when Meta launched a bare-bones version in early July, but use of it has plunged in recent weeks.

(Reuters) -Meta Platforms is set to roll out the web version on its new text-first social media platform Threads, hoping to gain an edge over X, formerly Twitter, as the initial surge in users waned.

Social media giant TikTok announced a feature launch aimed at dethroning Twitter (recently rebranded to X) as the go-to text-based social media platform.

Meta's Threads is struggling to get users on its platform after a wildy successful launch week. Threads was marketed as ‘Twitter Killer’ at a time when many frustrated Twitter users have been looking for alternatives, tired of the changes brought in by Elon Musk.  According to data by markets analysis firm Sensor Tower, traffic for Threads has plummeted 75 percent since its debut on July 6.

Threads. The Twitter rival was launched with great enthusiasm earlier this month. It quickly rose to fame with more than 100 million sign-ups within a week.

Threads has announced imposing a rate limit to the posts in order to ward off spam accounts. The announcement by Instagram CEO has drawn a sharp reaction from Twitter CEO Elon Musk who has criticized Meta's latest social media offering from day one.

Mark Zuckerberg’s Twitter alternative, Instagram Threads, has been forced to implement rate limits in response to a growing number of reports citing spam attacks and crypto-shilling bots.

Celebrities, lawmakers, brands and everyday social media users are flocking to Meta’s freshly minted app Threads to connect with their followers, including many Twitter refugees tired of the drama surrounding Elon Musk’s raucous oversight of that platf...

Threads to connect with their followers, including many Twitter refugees tired of the drama surrounding Elon Musk's raucous oversight of that platform. But the real question is: Will they stay?

Threads, the new Instagram app aimed at rivaling Twitter, many of the long-shot candidates were quick to take advantage of the platform's rapidly growing audience. «Buckle up and join me on Threads!» Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., wrote in a caption accompanying a selfie of himself and others in a car that he posted Thursday — by that morning, the app had already been downloaded more than 30 million times, putting it on track to be the most rapidly downloaded app ever.

Mosseri, the inclusion of such content invites excessive scrutiny, negativity, and compromises the integrity of the app. This surprising stance has sparked interest and discussion among users and observers. According to the CEO of Instagram, the Threads app will not actively endorse or prioritize politics and hard news.

Twitter rival Threads, which has amassed 70 million followers, is now launching a beta programme for Android to give users early access to new features and bug fixes.
