📽️ Instagram recommends longer Reels for discovery, encouraging users to post clips up to 3 minutes long. With a shift in preference to longer form content, Instagram states: "Appetite around long-form content is changing, and we'll continue to improve how Reels are recommended on Instagram."
📚 TikTok launches new initiative for the 80th anniversary of Holocaust Remembrance Day. TikTok has partnered with World Jewish Congress and UNESCO to create a new in-app hub, featuring educational videos about the Holocaust.
