Step Into the Feed: Meta Puts Vertical Video at the Forefront
The feed is about to become the first thing you see. Meta is reportedly testing a shift that would open Facebook and Instagram directly into full-screen vertical video, chasing the immersive pull TikTok has mastered. It's a bold, curated move, one that prioritizes motion over the static grid we've grown accustomed to. Whether this elevates discovery or flattens the experience remains to be seen. For those drawn to visual storytelling, it's worth watching closely.
Your next creative leap, curated by Instagram's new video assistant
Your next creative leap shouldn't be a guess. Instagram's new AI video assistant analyzes your Reels performance and suggests exactly what to make next, a curator for your momentum. It's aspirational without being prescriptive, blending data with artistic instinct. We appreciate tools that honor the craft while sharpening the direction.

Craft Your Reels: Instagram's "First Draft" Simplifies Video Editing
Instagram's new "First Draft" tool feels like a quiet invitation to stop overthinking. By automatically trimming clips into a base edit, it hands creators a starting point that still leaves room for their own touch. We appreciate the humility in that approach, letting the raw material breathe before the polish. It is a practical nudge toward spontaneity, and for those who also enjoy refining their visual story, our piece on curating tagged posts offers a fitting companion.
