Facebook Updates Messenger API to Incorporate Instagram Direct

Facebook updates its Messenger API to include support for Instagram messaging, providing businesses with a range of new connection opportunities through direct messages. The API enables businesses to integrate Instagram messaging with their preferred applications, which is meant to drive meaningful conversations and grow sales. It should also help organizations and third party messaging providers create new workflows to maximize Instagram Direct within their business messaging process.

Instagram Extends Length Limit for Instagram Live Broadcasts

The use of live-streaming increased exponentially during 2020 to help people stay in touch during COVID-19 lockdowns. This included the rise of Zoom and branched out to other real-time connection options. That’s why Instagram is now providing two options to help users maximize their Instagram live streams. 1) Instagram is extending its time limit for live streams fourfold, from 60 minutes to four hours, and every user will be able to broadcast their live uninterrupted, providing them with the opportunity to promote products and events, give virtual classes, etc.; and 2) Now the aforementioned live streams can be archived for up to 30 days.

Instagram Adds New, Post-Level Age-Gate Tool for Branded Content

Instagram is now enabling businesses to set minimum age requirements for their branded individual posts. They can set a default minimum age or a minimum age for specific countries or for brands looking to promote products in different regions with varying age restrictions. This adds a new way to ensure that you’re adhering to legal requirements while promoting your brand’s content.

TikTok Announces New Partnership with Shopify

TikTok keeps growing and its celebrities are becoming businesses in their own right. The platform creates pathways for these creators through ad revenue shares and other tools that help them maximize their potential, integrating eCommerce options to provide them with direct income. They have entered into a global partnership with Shopify that will help them create and run ad campaigns that directly target TikTok’s community.

Through this new TikTok channel, Shopify merchants can access core functions of the TikTok For Business Ads Manager without leaving the Shopify dashboard.

Shopify merchants can connect their TikTok Pixel with the click of a button, making it quicker and easier to track conversions.
Merchants can create campaigns, target specific audiences, and track performance all in one place.
The platform’s intuitive and creative tools help turn merchants’ products into high quality TikToks in minutes.
Eligible merchants can claim a $300 ad credit to jumpstart their first TikTok campaign.

Facebook Launches Facebook Shops For E-commerce

To help small businesses Facebook launches Facebook Shops, a feature that will allow them to turn their profiles into digital storefronts.

Facebook Launches Audio Calling App CatchUp

Although there are many calling apps these days, what sets this new Facebook platform apart is that it is audio-only. CatchUp will allow users to make calls with up to 8 people and let them know when a friend or family member is “Ready to Talk” with on-screen notifications. This new app will not require a Facebook account, as it will use your phone contact list.

Google Ads Creates Retail Category Feature

Google Ads has added a new reporting feature for e-commerce users that includes the Retail Category performance depending on where the ad was displayed: in Shopping or Search. While this information was available on the platform, it will now be easier for retailers to obtain these metrics without having to plan specific campaign names to identify them.

Instagram Allows Users To Create Messenger Rooms

Facebook extends the use of its video call platform, Messenger Rooms, to Instagram. From now on you’ll be able to create rooms from the Instagram Direct section and invite anyone to join. Since messenger is a separate app, once you start a room with other users on Instagram you will have to switch to the Facebook messaging platform.
