Meta has recently been experimenting with a new feature on Instagram: the dislike button for comments. This innovation allows users to anonymously report comments they find offensive, affecting their visibility on the platform.
It could be called a good step forward in content moderation. What do you think?

WhatsApp finally introduces customisable chat themes. It is now possible to choose from different colour combinations, set light or dark mode and adjust the brightness of the chosen themes and photos. A customisation touch that many users have been waiting for!

YouTube focuses on generative artificial intelligence with new features for creators:

• Video ideas: suggestions based on current trends.
• Automatic thumbnails: creating eye-catching previews for your content.
• Automatic translation: available for creator partners, allowing videos to be dubbed into multiple languages, expanding the potential audience.

In addition, the platform is implementing tools to manage AI-generated content, providing greater security for users.

First and foremost, LinkedIn is enhancing videos, now also visible on desktop. But there are other new features such as a full screen view of profiles, a more visible sign-up button and a new tab to analyse the activities of profile visitors.
The platform has also added new courses on LinkedIn Learning to make these features understandable and accessible to all.

Threads introduces a multimedia tab to organise photos and videos on a single page. A function that is still being tested is markup, which allows comments to be added to others’ posts, increasing interactivity. A step forward to make the app more interactive and competitive in the social sector!

X enhances the Grok AI chatbot: it allows users to personalise interactions by providing personal information, and upload their own files to improve AI responses. Interesting innovations, but the competition is fierce.

Snapchat rolls out new features for Snapchat+ subscribers:

• Snap Modes: temporary message display options.
• Custom Stickers: creation of unique stickers via AI.
• New Bitmoji accessories: greater customisation of avatars.

Snapchat thus continues to innovate, responding to the needs of a young, tech-savvy audience.
