New social media features and updates to know this week - PR Daily
Briefly

X has updated a key part of its engagement menu on iOS. Rather than following, blocking or muting users by tapping three dots in the upper right corner, you'll now long press their avatar to access the same features. 'We are just making the menu cleaner,' explained Haofei Wang, X's director of engineering.
YouTube is introducing games to the platform, known as 'Playables,' including simple games like Angry Birds Showdown and Cut the Rope. While not as community-focused as LinkedIn, it's another way to increase user engagement.
Threads introduced a TweetDeck-like feature on desktop, allowing users to pin columns for easy monitoring. Reflecting the nostalgic Twitter client, Threads aims to incorporate the best aspects of Twitter's past glory days.
Instagram is enhancing its Notes feature with new prompts, @mention functionality, and likes. Additionally, controversial unskippable ads are appearing on the platform, potentially aiding brands in ensuring message visibility.
