Facebook Launches AI Camera Roll Suggestions
Facebook rolled out a new opt-in AI feature in the US and Canada that suggests creative edits and collages for photos and videos already stored in a user’s camera roll. The tool analyzes unposted images and offers ideas like birthday-themed edits or recaps, which users can then share to their Feed or Stories. Meta emphasizes that the unposted media is not used to train its AI models or for ad targeting unless the user actively chooses to edit or share it.

Instagram Fixes Bug Affecting Story Reach
Instagram publicly announced and fixed a bug that had been reducing the reach of users’ Stories when they posted multiple times in a single day. The bug had effectively penalized frequent posters, a common complaint among creators who rely on Stories for daily engagement. The fix means creators can now resume posting several Stories daily without fear of their subsequent content being deliberately suppressed by the algorithm.

Threads Continues to Build Community and Messaging Tools
Threads continued its rapid evolution by testing new messaging and engagement features, including Group Chats within DMs and a simplified UI for the search function on iOS. The platform is also experimenting with a “Community” feature, signaling a strong focus on anchoring niche, topic-based discussions. These updates are aimed at improving the platform’s utility and fostering deeper, more private connections among users.

Snapchat Introduces Paid Storage for Memories
Snapchat launched a new paid subscription tier that allows users to purchase extended storage for their “Memories” once they exceed the current 5GB limit. This change gives users a way to permanently archive their older saved Snaps, which are often nostalgic or personal. The introduction of paid storage indicates an effort to monetize the platform’s archive of ephemeral content and provide a premium user benefit.

YouTube Rolls Out Deepfake Detection for Creators
YouTube officially launched the first wave of its AI Likeness Detection tool to a select group of eligible creators in the Partner Program. The tool allows creators to verify their identity and then track any AI-generated videos that use their facial likeness without permission. This feature is a direct response to the rising threat of deepfakes and allows creators to request the removal of unauthorized content that could mislead audiences or damage their reputation.
