Social Chatter: Social Media Marketing Talk Show - Episode 203 Facebook Rebranding Instagram, WhatsApp In Facebook news, Facebook rebranding is coming to Instagram and WhatsApp. They will soon be Instagram from Facebook and WhatsApp from Facebook. There's a chance this push is because not everyone is aware that Facebook owns Instagram and WhatsApp (surprisingly). Now, when you go to app stores and also inside the app, you'll see Facebook rebranding there. Why Facebook Rebranding Instagram, WhatsApp, Matters For Your Business Overall, this isn't big news, but it could have a bigger impact on your business, especially if you're a digital agency or marketer helping out a business. While not everyone is aware that Facebook also owns Instagram and WhatsApp, we're wondering whether this will impact usage on either platform. In the meantime, you can read more about Facebook rebranding Instagram and WhatsApp, click here. Schedule Instagram, IGTV Posts In Creator Studio In Instagram news, you can now schedule Instagram and IGTV posts in Creator Studio for Instagram. Creator Studio for Instagram makes it easy to manage posts, view Insights and respond to messages. Why Scheduling Instagram, IGTV Posts In Creator Studio Matters For Your Business For the longest time, if you wanted to upload photos and videos to Instagram from your desktop, you had to use a series of workarounds. Now, you can schedule Instagram and IGTV content using Creator Studio for Instagram. To use Creator Studio for Instagram, simply connect your accounts. From there, click on the create post button and choose whether you want to schedule an Instagram post or one on IGTV. You'll then be taken to the Editor to schedule your content. As a business owner, this is a good move to have Creator Studio for Instagram offer scheduling. This way you can focus more on the planning aspect of your social media content rather than on last-minute posting. You can test out scheduling Instagram and IGTV posts in Creator Studio for Instagram here. In Testing: Twitter Snooze In Twitter news, they are testing Twitter Snooze, a feature that allows you to pause notifications for 1, 3 or 12 hours. Spotted by Jane Manchun Wong, Twitter Snooze, adds a bell icon at the top of Twitter notifications from the mobile app. You can then choose the duration. Twitter is testing Snooze feature, allowing users to pause notifications for 1 hour, 3 hours or 12 hours! I wrote a blog for the first look of this unreleased feature https://t.co/EoNYaRHraQ Tip @Techmeme pic.twitter.com/qm3aMM2Q00 — Jane Manchun Wong (@wongmjane) August 6, 2019 Why Twitter Snooze Matters For Your Business Twitter Snooze seems like a useful feature because it can help curb our need to constantly check our mobile devices. By adding Twitter Snooze, this could be a way to encourage other social media channels to follow suit and implement a similar feature. This way you can regain your focus as a business owner. Remember, this is currently in testing and hasn't been officially rolled out. To learn more about Twitter Snooze, click here.
