While you were adjusting the clock, March dropped: more AI, new ways to monetise… and a few privacy changes
Which one will you try first?
Meta is leaning into AI to handle content moderation, reducing the role of human moderators. Its new automated assistant can detect violations faster and manage user issues in real time.
Instagram is testing clickable links in posts, but only for Meta Verified users, with a monthly limit, turning it into a paid feature for creators.
Spotify launches SongDNA, a feature that reveals the creative origins of each song (contributors, samples and influences) while you listen, turning music into a richer discovery experience.
Pinterest introduces Promote a Pin, a feature that makes it easy to boost posts with ad spend, expanding reach and simplifying promotion for brands and creators.
Snapchat rolls out new advertising options like Total Snap Takeovers (maximum visibility in-app), integrated offers and advanced dynamic ad formats, aimed at increasing brand impact and ad investment on the platform.
Instagram will remove end-to-end encryption from its messages starting in May 2026, reducing conversation privacy as chats will no longer be fully protected.
Meta acquires Moltbook, a social network where AI agents interact with each other, with plans to integrate it into its AI division and advance more complex autonomous systems.
YouTube launches Creator Partnerships, an AI-powered platform that connects brands and creators in one space, making collaborations and campaigns more efficient.
New features in Edits like freeze frame, intelligent sound effects and a built-in teleprompter make it easier to create more professional videos without leaving the app.
