⏰ Instagram Reels Update, Pinterest Fights AI, and the top trends of the week…

Has Instagram gone CRAZY?? Here are the latest trends and updates you should know about:

👋 Weekly Tips & Tricks

⏰ 20 Minute Reels??

Instagram rolled out multiple Reels feature upgrades. Creators can now record Reels up to 20 minutes long (up from 90s), with a new “Undo” button for clip edits and a touch-up intensity slider for filters.

📝 YouTube Shorts new Editor

In response to long-time creator feedback, YouTube overhauled the Shorts editor with a new timeline-based interface. Creators can now trim, reorder, and zoom into clips in one place, instead of navigating multiple editing screens.

🙅‍♀️ Pinterest is against AI?

Pinterest added new controls to limit AI-generated content in users’ home feeds. With a simple toggle, Pinners can now reduce how much “synthetic” (AI-made) imagery they encounter. Pinterest says this update is about maintaining user trust – ensuring people continue to see authentic creator content and not just a flood of AI images.

⭐️ Christmas Shopping Challenge: This is a recent trend where two people go shopping and pick out one item from each category. They then show each other what they have picked out and must choose only one item!
