TikTok introduced badges to stop you from doomscrooling… Here are the latest trends and updates you should know about:

👋 Weekly Tips & Tricks

🎥 Instagram Improved Video Quality

Instagram (via Meta) upgraded its HDR video support. On iOS devices that support it, videos uploaded to Instagram can now display in Dolby Vision HDR, which enhances color, brightness and contrast for viewers.

This means creators’ HDR content will look more vivid on capable phones, as Instagram’s app now uses Dolby Vision metadata to adjust for ambient viewing conditions and screen capabilities.

🏅 TikTok Digital Well-Being Badges

To promote healthier usage, TikTok introduced new well-being tools and will reward moderate use. The app’s screen time dashboard now includes an affirmation journal, calming sound generator, and breathing exercise.

TikTok will even grant badge awards to users (especially teens) who avoid late-night scrolling, set daily limits, and use the app within healthy bounds.

There’s also a new “Flash Sale” for fan subscriptions, where creators can offer limited-time discounted subscription offers to spur sign-up.

🔥 Top Social Trends of the Week

⭐️ Flow state: Here is a silly trend about “flow state.” All you have to do is describe something you can do mindlessly. An example would be “when im on my phone, watching tv, and a youtube video all at once and genuinely reach flow state.” 🤣

⭐️ OMW! This trend can be applied to various niches. All you have to do is write “omw to____” and apply it to you! An example would be “omw to spend money when I know I shouldn’t….” 🤭
