In late March 27, the company Meta, informed that it has made effective progress in the integration of the main social networks Facebook and Instagram, through the Centro de cuentas, which enables a new interface to pass a profile other. Likewise, notified the creation of a new account creation and login screen.
The technology company has created a new interface to switch from one Facebook profile to another on Instagram, and vice versa. This switching between profiles will be possible if the user has registered both in the Account Center.
The new interface also brings together in one place the notifications received in the different user accounts, as the company explains on its official blog.
This interface is part of a test that Meta has launched globally on iOS, Android and the web. A new account creation and login screen is also being tested.
This new screen “will make it easier for people to log in and create new accounts on Facebook and Instagram.” As Meta explains, users can use information from one account to create or access another, “as long as their accounts are in the same account center.”
For now, these new features are only limited to Facebook and Instagram, but the company said it will continue to explore how to improve connected experiences across all of its technologies. With these changes, Meta hopes to captivate even more users given the lackluster recent revenue figures reported by the platform.
Instagram will allow your stories to be 60 seconds long
Digital applications have become tools that allow users to interact in different scenarios, among the most common are social networks and these have been positioning themselves since the beginning of the new century.
In this sense, Instagram has announced that it will allow the sharing of stories, or ephemeral content in video format for a longer period, because currently only a time of 15 seconds is allowed.
It should be noted that if these 15 seconds are exceeded, the story is divided. However, this will no longer happen, since the technology company that is owned by Meta will allow stories to be 60 seconds long.
Likewise, this function will begin to be deployed in the coming days to users of the social network around the world, after its test last year.
According to the portal Tech Crunchthis new limit will allow longer videos to be shared without cuts, as long as they are less than a minute. If users exceed this limit, the content will be split into clips as it was before.
On the other hand, Instagram, which has 1,478 million users, but its strong competition is TikTok; The Canadian organization shares that users of the Chinese platform stay longer with a report of 19.6 hours per month, compared to 11.2 hours per month corresponding to Instagram.
In this sense, TikTok has expanded the content sharing options of its platform with other rival social networks, which now allows creators to share their stories on Facebook and Instagram.
TikTok Stories are short videos, up to 15 seconds, that disappear within 24 hours of being posted. It is a recent novelty on this platform, moreover still in testing, although it has been widely integrated with others such as Snapchat, from which Facebook, WhatsApp or Instagram emerged.
Which means content creators can share their stories on their profile, and with the new options TikTok has just rolled out, show them off on rival social networks like Facebook and Instagram too.
Finally, this week, the social network Twitter announced various news regarding its recent developments, where it includes sharing tweets on other platforms or social networks and its long-awaited tweet editing feature.
Users of the social network on Android depended on screenshots to be able to publish their “tweets” on other platforms. An issue the company fixed on iOS last year, but was still pending on Android.
Via the TwitterSupport account, he announced that it is now possible on Android devices to share a tweet directly on Snapchat and on Instagram Stories. To this novelty is added a new button to also share on LinkedIn, available for both operating systems.
