Welcome to this week’s Rachel’s Social Snippets #87 – Bringing you the latest social media news to help keep you up-to-date.
Meta’s™ – AI Support Bot Handed Hackers The Keys To Instagram Accounts

Instagram™ – Tames Its Algorithm To Break The Cycle Of Harmful Content For Teens
Meta is testing technology on Instagram to prevent teens from seeing repeated streams of the same potentially harmful content in Explore, Feed and Reels.
Instagram™ – Outlines Add-on Subscription Offerings
Instagram Plus will cost $3.99 a month and feature Super Hearts, Story Spotlights and other niche tools to enhance the in-app experience.
Instagram™ – Introduces Teleprompter Tool

General – Are Social Platforms Going To Charge All Users For Access?
Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have historically disagreed about this, but rising artificial intelligence expenses may result in costly new subscription options.
LinkedIn Tip
Instead of sharing/reposting a post this week on LinkedIn, why not comment on the post instead. Not just a ‘great post’ comment, a meaningful comment that spans several lines.
By doing that you’ll help the post creator and help yourself by not confusing the algorithm or your audience about what it is you represent on LinkedIn.
Video Tip
What Is An End Screen?! (And Why Should You Use Them?)
You spend time planning, recording and editing your videos, but what happens when someone reaches the end? For many creators, that’s exactly where the viewer leaves. An end screen is one of the simplest YouTube features available, yet it’s often overlooked. Used correctly, it can help you increase watch time, gain more subscribers and encourage viewers to continue watching your content. Think of it as your video’s final call to action. Instead of letting viewers disappear and watching kittens falling off shelves, you’re giving them a clear next step.
You can use end screens to:
✅ Recommend another video
➡️ Direct viewers to a playlist
📌 Encourage people to subscribe
☑️ Keep your audience engaged with your content for longer
