Trending on Social Media: A Guide
Last year, Facebook created new features for Facebook groups. You can now take part as a business Page, update with Stories, or even post live videos in a group.
Brands now can connect with fans, and the algorithm won’t affect their posts. Some influencer accounts have made private Instagram accounts. This is their attempt to avoid the Instagram algorithm. This trend could continue this year.
There is now an addition of the Close Friends feature for Instagram stories. New Stories features could include more friend groups like Facebook’s Friend Lists. This year we may see brands focus on private accounts and groups.
