This week in social media news, TikTok tests stories and inks a partnership with Publicis Groupe, Instagram highlights top creative in a new section under its Professional Dashboard, Facebook advertisers shift to Amazon after Apple updates and more. TikTok Pilots Stories As Twitter Terminates Fleets TikTok has launched a pilot of TikTok Stories, as spotted by social media expert Matt Navarra and reported by TechCrunch. During the pilot, TikTok plans to gather insight before deciding whether it will expand it to all users. Why it matters: The new feature allows TikTok users who don’t post regularly a more streamlined approach to begin engaging with the platform, an approach they’re likely familiar with if they’ve used a similar feature on Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Pinterest or Twitter’s newly axed Fleets. The option also allows regular users to engage with the community in a more laid-back fashion without having to be on LIVE. For brands, Stories allows for expanded opportunities to advertise. The details: TikTok Stories resembles its counterparts on platforms like Instagram and Snapchat, for example in duration, the ability to record or upload and more; though it differs in one key respect – users’ ability to comment publicly.

Photographed by Serena Brown.Maeve Ginzberg remembers when she first downloaded Snapchat. She was in high school, and did it at the request of her best friend; their long streak would eventually break when Maeve went to study abroad in college and had less-reliable cell service. Now a 27-year old copywriter living in New York, Maeve only uses Snapchat rarely — to stay in touch with one particular friend and also to keep up with a group Snap. The app has a sentimental appeal, says Maeve, who reflects on Snapchat’s unique way of reminding her of “stuff that just feels like a relic in a way.” But it wasn’t always this way. When Snapchat launched in 2012, back when we used Vine and Musical.ly instead of TikTok, it wasn’t intended to be a vehicle for nostalgia. Like any social media platform, people joined Snapchat because their friends joined — because it was cool. We all want to go where the people are, and in the mid-2010s, Snapchat had an iron grip on the under-25 population. Unlike with Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook, where posts would live indefinitely, you had to actively be on Snapchat to know what was going on. The urgency of…

When popular Irish YouTuber Seán McLoughlin – better known to his millions of fans as Jacksepticeye – received an email purporting to be from a Hollywood studio, he assumed it was a wheeze.Included in the message was the phone number of Shawn Levy, director of the Night at the Museum franchise and producer of Stranger Things. So McLoughlin called. “I didn’t take it was real. But I called him . And he was the nicest guy ever.” Levy was working on Free Guy, a new action comedy starring Ryan Reynolds and Jodie Comer which belatedly reaches cinemas on Friday August 13 (following the now traditional Covid delay).Free Guy is an uproarious vehicle for Reynolds and an opportunity to Comer to build on the momentum of Killing Eve (it’s one of two big screen roles for her in 2021, the second being Ridley Scott’s Last Duel). It is also a tribute to video games such as Fortnite and Grand Theft Auto.“He asked for tips and if there was anything he should avoid,” says McLoughlin, speaking over Zoom from its moodily-lit gaming studio. “I felt it should be genuine and not cringy. The kids will call you on it. The kids will know.” Levy was…

Restricted mode on YouTube filters out mature content that you may not wish to see. It's frequently implemented by organizations such as schools to prevent students from being exposed to that content. But if you want to disable YouTube Restricted Mode for whatever reason, you can easily do so using either a desktop computer or your phone. Here's how. What Is Restricted Mode on YouTube? Before we get to the ways in which you can turn off restricted mode, it's important to understand what it is. While YouTube can be accessed by all ages, not all the content on YouTube is suitable for children, and it may harm them mentally and physically (if they try to reproduce a dangerous stunt, for example.) To prevent this, Google created a feature called restricted mode. It prevents users from stumbling across content that is shocking, scary, or sexually provocative. It works using an automated algorithm and you can enable it through a simple toggle. It filters using information such as titles, tags, descriptions, and whether the video has been labelled as age restricted. Restricted mode works at a device level. This means that it is not linked to your Google account, but rather…
