Social media updates and new features to know this week - PR Daily

"LinkedIn has updated its terms and data use policy effective November 3 to automatically incorporate content and profile data from users into the training of its generative AI models that power platform features. The changes also clarify how data from affiliates may be used. Users will have the ability to opt out of this AI training data use via their settings, LinkedIn says."

"Instagram Edits users can now turn a main video clip into an overlay, letting creators play another background clip behind it. There's also finer control over transitions, specifically fade-ins and fade-outs, so creators can better adjust how clips flow into each other. Users can now save sound effects, or audio tracks that are used often, or discovered while watching other clips, making them easier to reuse."

"WhatsApp has modified its Updates tab, which includes both Status and Channels. This tab is now more of a discovery hub for creators, channels and businesses, per Meta. Key additions include: Channel subscriptions: Users can subscribe to their favorite channels in order to get exclusive updates for a monthly fee. Promoted channels: Channel admins and businesses can have their channels promoted to improve visibility in the directory. Ads in Status: Businesses can place ads in Status, giving users another way to discover products or services offered."
