Weekly Social Media Roundup: Week of 3/4

I thought it would be fitting since my day job is being a Social Media Manager to share articles that caught my attention throughout the week. There are SO many new things happening in social media (literally by the minute) so it's nice to stay in the loop with articles in one place.

So, here are a few links from this week:

• Facebook’s US user base declined by 15 million since 2017, according to survey Facebook’s Privacy Cake (a long, but interesting read)

• Instagram has a new ad format for branded content 

• Instagram prototypes video co-watching

"The next phase of social media is about hanging out together while apart. Rather than performing on a live stream or engaging with a video chat, Instagram  may allow you to chill and watch videos together with a friend. "
