PLATFORM NEWS

1. TikTok launches Live-Stream trivia

TikTok is testing another way to maximise engagement with a new TikTok Live trivia series that will give users a chance to win money in the app. TikTok Trivia will run for five days, beginning February 22nd, and will be presented in partnership with Lionsgate, in support of the new movie ‘John Wick Chapter 4’.

2. Roblox integrates generative AI

Roblox is developing its own AI to help every Roblox user become a creator on the platform, not just those comfortable with Roblox Studio and other 3D content creation tools. The creative help will ensure users can create a new shirt, hat, an entire avatar; a house or even an entire experience – all from within another experience. (Via Roblox)

4. Reels views are on the decline

Since the rise of TikTok, Instagram has been attempting to rebrand itself as a video platform, but it seems to be doubling back on itself. Reels on brand social accounts have been performing worse, generating 20% fewer views in some cases, while photo performance has generally improved. Is this the long-awaited return to the OG Instagram? (Via AdWeek)

5. Buy your Instagram verification for $12 a month

Meta is testing paid verification for Instagram and Facebook for $11.99 per month on web and $14.99 per month on mobile.
