To start us off, LinkedIn has an exciting update for brands: the ability to send and receive messages for Company Pages!

Next, some news from YouTube. Here’s what you can expect to see:

• The ability to skip ahead to the most interesting part of a clip, powered by AI, is currently in the testing stages. 
• A Shorts remix option for already remixed videos.
• Audience segments are coming to the audience retention report, comparing viewer engagement for different groups.
• A customizable For You shelf on channels.
• Consolidating all pre-check notifications to the central notification settings in Studio mobile.
• Expanding disclosures about AI content, to help avoid deepfakes and misinformation online.

Now GIFs are coming to Threads web users! Additionally, some UI improvements are coming to make it easier for users to indicate the content they’re interested in by swiping left or right in the feed.

And finally, our last updates come from Instagram. Ads with promo codes are here, making it easier than ever to drive shopping in the app, and users now have the ability to comment on specific images within a carousel post.

That’s all for now!
