Facebook Launches a Cameo-Like App Called “Super”
Facebook is known to adapt to the best apps out there and create a version that’s often more successful than the original. In hopes to expand its reach all over the world, they launched a Cameo-like app called “Super” which allows anyone to pay for a celebrity shout out within videos posted on the app.
As a result, this brings an additional channel for content creators who are looking for tools that allow them to easily monetize their audiences. Using Super, people can either give celebrities or influencers gifts, pay them to appear on their streams, greet them privately, and many more.
Facebook Enhances AI Alt Text Accuracy
With an aim to help the blind and visually impaired to engage with content and information, Facebook has improved the accuracy of its AI, allowing it to better describe what’s represented on images.
For this reason, we recommend making your images high quality and ensure they aren’t too abstract and are relevant to your post.
Facebook Creates Shops tab
Ever since the lockdown occurred in 2020, Facebook decided to create a Shops tab to make it easy for retailers to create a shop-like experience on their Facebook or Instagram profiles. The developers stated that they wanted to make it as simple as possible for users to discover businesses, preview products, purchase them and manage all customer care within its app environment.
Facebook Makes the Educators Hub
Just like traditional mall shopping and travel, the education system has also been highly impacted by COVID-19 restrictions. This is why Facebook’s developers decided to create “The Educators Hub” feature. Basically, this is designed to help parents, teachers, and students succeed in a digital learning environment. Additionally, its main purpose is to educate on the topic of digital literacy and provide both resources and tools required to teach in the digital space.
Facebook Made Instagram Stories Searchable
To make it easier for users to receive notifications, Facebook now enables access to Instagram Stories through the app. However, keep in mind that this will only work if the user is connected to your profile on Instagram and your page on Facebook.
