It's difficult to stay up to speed when the social media landscape is constantly shifting and shaping – we get it! That's why we provide our partners with a monthly e-newsletter with the top social media news and updates. We highlight the biggest changes in social media monthly and share these updates and insights with you! We've compiled the best of the best and are happy to share them with you in What's New in Social Media: February 2019 Edition. Facebook Adds New 'Page Quality' Information as Part of Measures to Stop Misuse: Facebook is introducing a couple of new measures designed to make Page managers more aware of potential rule violations and limit the capacity for those who do break the rules to maintain the same activity through another outlet. Facebook Adds New Option to Create Dynamic Ads in Multiple Languages: Facebook's taken another step in the direction of creating a borderless community, adding automatic translation for ads. The language displayed is relative to the viewing users' preferences and region. Twitter Announces Upcoming Changes to Image Support: Visuals are key to standing out in busy social feeds, and it's especially important, when managing a brand account, to ensure that your images look their best - that your profile looks fresh, crisp, and above all, professional in its presentation. And as such, this new update from Twitter is worthy of note - over on the Twitter Developers Forum, the platform has announced an upcoming change to the way PNG files will be handled by the app when they're uploaded. Twitter's Testing a New 'Original Tweeter' Tag to Highlight Replies in Threads: The tag, which highlights the person who began the conversation within tweet threads, is now appearing for a small selection of users. The new test looks to make it easier to quickly understand what's happening within tweet threads, which, similar to Twitter's color-coded replies (also in testing), could significantly change the way responses appear on the platform in future. Travel Booking is Finally Coming to Instagram Stories: Facebook officials disclosed that the social network now has two million Stories' advertisers across its platforms, and this year the company will focus on making their advertisements more relevant and much more transactional, adding the feature to 'swipe up' directly to book travel. YouTube Updates Recommendations Algorithm to Lessen the Spread of 'Borderline Content': After complaints that YouTube has essentially been promoting conspiracy theories and fake news-type content through its recommendation system, the Google-owned video platform has announced an update to its process which will aim to limit the highlighting of uploads that "come close to - but don't quite cross the line" of violating its Community Guidelines.
