August 16, 2022 Users can now schedule both Facebook and Instagram Reels through Meta’s Creator Studio app, the platform announced today.

You can only use Creator Studio for Instagram if your Instagram account is connected to a Facebook business page. On the Facebook tab of Creator Studio, the Create reel option is easy to spot under Create post, but on the Instagram tab, you’ll select Instagram Feed or IG Video, depending on the length of your video.

According to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s focus on its algorithmically recommended content is only set to increase. “Right now, about 15% of content in a person’s Facebook feed and a little more than that of their Instagram feed is recommended by our AI from people, groups, or accounts that you don’t follow. We expect these numbers to more than double by the end of next year,” Zuckerberg said on an earning’s call today. Read More FacebookFacebook launches a new feed option on the platform
July 21, 2022 After years of making content from friends and family less visible on the homepage, Facebook has created a new chronological feed. Earlier today, Mark Zuckerberg announced that the company is launching a Feeds tab so that users can ensure they’re spotting new posts from friends, Groups and the Pages they followas they appear chronologically. “One of the most requested features for Facebook is to make sure people don’t miss friends’ posts,” he says. The Feeds tab is aptly named “Feeds” and can be found to the right of the “Watch” icon on the bottom menu. Matt Navarra, a social media consultant, said in a recent post that “Facebook’s TikTok-ification is complete.” He explained Facebook’s homepage will be a vertical feed sharing mostly Reels and Stories. Posts from friends and family will be limited outside of the Feeds tab. Instead, users will see more recommended posts based on Facebook’s algorithm.
