Facebook’s latest test should terrify publishers.

Facebook succeeded where AOL failed at becoming a global arbiter of (nearly) everything people see, read, and do online and, aspiringly, even offline. That company is a monster, and I wish I had never promoted its products.

Introducing Location and Hashtag Stories on Explore

Today we’re excited to announce two new ways to discover the world around you on Explore: location stories and hashtag stories. Now you can see what’s happening around you and find stories related to your interests.

You’ll see a new story ring at the top of Explore filled with stories happening near you. These stories come from people who have used location stickers on their stories. You can also search for any location around the world, and you’ll see a story ring for that place at the top of the location page.

We’re also beginning to introduce hashtag stories on Explore to help you find stories related to your interests. When you search for a hashtag, you may see a story ring at the top of the page filled with stories using that hashtag.

Add a location sticker or hashtag to your story and you may be included in the larger story. If your story is added, you’ll see a line at the top of your stories viewer list showing how many people saw it in the larger story. If you want to use a location or hashtag sticker but don’t want your story to appear on Explore, tap the X on your stories viewer list.

From discovering new parts of your own city to jogging alongside the #fromwhereirun community all around the world, location and hashtag stories help you share these experiences as they unfold.

To learn more about location stories and hashtag stories, check out the Instagram Help Center.

Location stories on Explore are available on iOS and Android as part of Instagram version 10.22 in the Apple App Store and Google Play. Hashtag stories will be rolling out over the coming weeks.

New: Save Your Live Video to Your Phone

Starting today, you’ll have the option to save your live video to your phone at the end of a broadcast. While live videos will continue to disappear from the app when you’re done, this update gives you the flexibility to hold onto your video and re-watch it later, especially if something exciting happens during your broadcast that you want to remember or share.

After your live broadcast ends, tap Save in the upper right corner. You’ll only be able to save your video — not the comments, likes, number of viewers or any live interactions. After saving, tap Done and your live video will be saved to your camera roll but will no longer be available in the app.

We are excited by how our community is using live video to connect with their friends and followers in the moment. This is just the first of many improvements we’ll be making to live videos this year.

To learn more about today’s updates, check out the Instagram Help Center.

These updates are available as part of Instagram version 10.12 available for iOS in the Apple App Store and for Android in Google Play.

From Twitter to Facebook to Google+, here's a guide to every important social media image size, which we always kept up-to-date.

Twitter released an update today that will let you broadcast live video from within its app for iOS and Android. The feature is "powered by" Periscope, Twitter’s live video app, but can be used...

YEAR IN REVIEW IS OUT YAY

New Ways to Share in the Moment

Today we’re announcing two updates: live video on Instagram Stories and disappearing photos and videos for groups and individual friends in Instagram Direct.

In August, we introduced Instagram Stories as a way to share all the business moments of your day, not just the ones you want to keep on your profile. We’ve seen stories open up a new side of what businesses and people share on Instagram, and now over 100 million people use it every day. With today’s announcement, you’ll soon have two more ways to share freely and in the moment.

Announcing Live Video on Instagram Stories

Live video on Instagram Stories helps your business connect with your community right now. When you’re done, your live story disappears from the app so you can feel more comfortable sharing anything, anytime.

It’s easy to go live—just swipe right from feed to open the camera, tap the ‘Start Live Video’ button and start sharing for up to an hour. Your followers may get a notification when you go live so they can tune in. While you’re live, you can pin a comment for everyone to see or turn comments off altogether.

When someone you follow starts a live story, you’ll see ‘Live’ under their profile photo in the stories bar. During the broadcast, you can comment and like as much as you want. You can also check out new live stories on Explore. Tap “Top Live” to see exciting live stories happening at that moment and swipe right and left to easily skip around.

Live video on Instagram Stories and Explore will be rolling out globally over the next few weeks.

Launching Disappearing Photos and Videos for Groups and Followers in Instagram Direct

Now you can send disappearing photos and videos directly to groups and individual friends in a spontaneous, pressure-free way.

Since launching improvements to Instagram Direct last year, the number of businesses and people using Direct each month has grown from 80 million to 300 million people around the world. In fact, many of them use group threads every day to stay in touch with their closest friends, family and followers.

Today’s update keeps regular direct messages the same and adds a more visual way to connect with your closest community members— all in one convenient place.

Swipe right into the camera to take a photo or video, then tap the arrow to send it privately. You can choose a group or create one in just a few taps—and you can also send to individual followers at the same time. Send anything you want, from product sneak-peeks to your worst selfies. Unlike other messages in Direct, these photos and videos disappear from your followers’ inboxes after they have seen them. And you’ll see if they replayed it or took a screenshot.

Whether your business account is set to public or private, you can only send disappearing photos and videos to people who follow you.

To open your inbox, tap the new paper airplane icon at the top right corner of your feed or swipe left. You’ll see disappearing photos and videos in a bar at the top. Tap the ones with blue rings to see what your friends sent you. In a group, you can see everyone’s responses—and who else has seen them—in a slideshow format. Then when you’re done, just tap their faded profile photo to send a quick response.

Disappearing photos and videos in Instagram Direct will start rolling out globally today.
