In a recent announcement, the  social media  giant Facebook revealed that Facebook Analytics would no longer be available after 30 June 2021. Marketers have less than three months to export all their data and search for other alternatives. Given how heavily the marketers depend on Facebook Analytics to gauge conversion data, this announcement has come with distinctly short notice. The company quietly published this announcement that it is shuttering Facebook Analytics at the end of June 2021 on Facebook for Business Help Center. If you visit analytics.facebook.com now, it will redirect you to the announcement that reads Facebook Analytics will no longer be accessible after 30 June 2021. However, users can still access their reports, export charts and tables, and explore insights until then. If you want to export your data into a CSV file from Facebook Analytics on your desktop, simply click on the arrow in the top-right corner of each chart or table you wish to export. Faceboo...

  The microblogging platform Twitter has brought back its “review before you tweet” prompt that encouraged users to review their tweets that can be regarded as potentially offensive or harmful for others. The platform is testing it only for iOS users for the time being. In its recent tweet, the Twitter Support team announced the relaunch of this experiment. Sometimes, in the heat of the moment, people tend to say a few things they don’t really mean and regret later. That’s why the platform has relaunched this experiment that prompts users to review their reply that is potentially offensive or harmful for other people. Adding to this statement, Twitter Support further said that if a user thinks s/he has received a prompt by mistake, they can share their feedback with the team to help the company improve this feature. Last year, in May 2020, the platform had started testing the beta version of this feature on iOS, which encouraged people to review their replies that could be viewed a...

  The social networking platform Twitter has launched its new voice DM feature for iOS and Android users recently. According to reports, the company has made the voice “direct messages” available in three countries as of now, including India, Brazil, and Japan.

The Google-owned YouTube is launching a new short-form video sharing feature called “Clips” in its beta version. With the roll-out of this new feature, creators will be able to clip out, give a title and share tiny 5 to 60 seconds long clips from an existing YouTube live stream or video. Undoubtedly, this new feature will be a great addition to the platform. These short clips will act as teasers for long-form  content writing , which sounds pretty good for creating buzz around your content or generating interest or excitement in the minds of your audience. YouTube has made this feature available in its beta version as of now since it is in its testing phase and is only accessible to a select group of gaming channels currently. Individuals using a desktop or Android device can only view this feature for the time being until it is fully developed.

Facebook is one of the most sought-after social media platforms out there, which boasts more than a billion active users every month from around the world. Users who have accounts on Facebook can post photos, videos, stories, upload status, and connect with other people from across the globe. With the growing privacy concerns of people today, the  social media  giant is also taking significant measures to cater to their users’ need for better privacy on the platform. Back in 2017, the platform rolled out a feature that allows users to shield their current profile picture, and now last year in 2020, the company launched another feature, Facebook profile lock, which is kind of a successor to the profile guard feature. With the release of this profile lock feature, users can now add an extra security layer to their Facebook profile. A lock icon that shows up on a user’s profile indicates that the person has a locked profile. People who are not added as a friend will not be able t...

A couple of months ago, YouTube had revamped the video streaming experience for Android and IOS users, and it is now back with another exciting update. Google’s most popular video streaming service, YouTube, has begun displaying the autoplay toggle inside the video player on desktop devices. Presently, YouTube’s autoplay toggle lies in the right-hand sidebar as part of the “Up Next” section that shows the upcoming videos. Back in October, the company had introduced the same feature for Android users, but it seems like they are introducing the same for desktop users. With the new update, this autoplay toggle will appear directly within the video player. It will sit right beside the left of the CC and Settings options with a play/pause icon, demonstrating the current state. As part of the video player, this icon will vanish when the user does not hover over it directly, thus presenting a cleaner user interface. This new deployment of the autoplay toggle is believed to make it easier for ...

Earlier this week, the popular social media platform Twitter made an announcement regarding the launch of its new temporary tweeting feature called “Fleets” worldwide. The company had announced this feature earlier this year, and after testing it across different regions, Fleets is now all set to be available for all users around the globe.  From now onwards, every user using Twitter’s android or IOS app will be able to utilize the Fleets feature no matter in which part of the world they are in.

The company has begun r...

  After Google, YouTube, the second-largest search engine, enabled its users long ago to try out its new features and products before the platform makes it live to a broader audience. However, recently YouTube introduced a recent change, where only the users who have subscribed to YouTube Premium service will be able to test its latest sets of experiments. Meaning, the platform has restricted the ability to test some of its new features to the paid subscribers only. These features include the one which lets iOS users watch videos on YouTube directly on the home screen. However, we would like to clarify that this feature is nothing like the PIP option (picture-in-picture) that has been provided to the app developers with the release of the new iOS 14. YouTube says that this feature instead allows the users to watch videos with sound on while they continue scrolling through YouTube’s homepage. Besides this, YouTube is running two more experiments that are related to the search. While...
