Tuesday, October 29, 2024 at 5:24AM If you're wondering why some of your Instagram videos look blurry while others come out crisp, Instagram is doing that on purpose. According to a recent video AMA with Instagram head Adam Mosseri, the quality of your video changes depending on how many views it gets.

Music discovery is a big part of social media these days. Instagram might be slightly late to the party, but at least, now you can add the songs you hear from posts and Reels straight to your Spotify playlist. If you like a song in a post, tap on the title to go to the audio preview page. You'll know you have the feature if you spot that Add button with the Spotify logo beside the audio scrubber. You will need to link your Spotify account with your Instagram first. But once that is set up, it'll be a one-tap process to add songs to your Liked Songs playlist.

Instagram is overhauling its Reels recommendations in a major shift that prioritizes original content and levels the playing field for smaller accounts. This will significantly impact aggregator accounts that primarily repost others' work.
The company acknowledges that its current system favours established creators and aggregators. Their goal is to fix this and give all creators a fairer shot at reaching new audiences. This means the algorithm will no longer prioritize follower count.
Monday, March 4, 2024 at 7:54PM Google Pixel 7, Pixel 8, and Pixel Fold users can rejoice with the March feature drop. This update brings the ability to upload and view Ultra HDR photos directly on Instagram. This move follows Samsung's Galaxy S24 series, which first offered Ultra HDR photo support on Instagram. Now, Pixel owners can capture the full potential of their upgraded cameras with vibrant colours and stunning contrast. The update even extends to video, allowing users to share 10-bit HDR videos on Instagram Reels for even richer content creation.
