    Instagram adding fantastic new features

    Instagram is now looking to add more features to its Web portals, to make it more functional; as the photo-sharing app has upgraded its mobile website to introduce the ability to share photos on it.

    Alongside photo-sharing, a condensed version of the Explore tab is also added.

    The ability to share photos on the mobile website is still limited, with the option only allowing users to only upload photos and crop them to a desired shape if the need be. It still doesn’t allow users to upload video, edit photo, or even apply filters. However, users can now edit their profile, or create a profile for that matter from the ungraded mobile web version.

    This upgraded mobile website version was first spotted by Matt Navarra.

    Instagram later confirmed it to TechCrunch, “Instagram.com (accessed from mobile) is a Web experience optimized for mobile phones. It’s designed to help people have a fuller experience on Instagram no matter what device or network they are on”.

    The mobile website now looks a lot like the app itself with a light version of the Explore tab as well.

    The mobile version lets you see posts, notifications, your profile, and even like photos of others. It even lets you comment on them as the case may be.

    The adding photo feature is not visible to everyone as of yet; so maybe it’s a gradual roll out that should arrive in the coming days.

    Facebook’s Instagram recently also announced that it now has 700 million users. The company adds that the last 100 million users were added in just four months.

  • Facebook tops 1.9 billion monthly users

    Facebook tops 1.9 billion monthly users

    On Wednesday, Facebook reported hitting 1.94 billion monthly users as of the end of the March quarter; up from 1.86 billion in the previous quarter and 1.65 billion in the same quarter a year earlier.

    Facebook now has 1.28 billion people who use its services every single day, up from 18% year-over-year.

    According to CNNtech, Facebook’s unparalleled audience gives it an “insurmountable competitive advantage,” quoting Michael Pachter, an analyst with Wedbush.

    It said, although some cracks are beginning to show up.

    Facebook posted $8 billion in revenue for the quarter, beating Wall Street estimates. However, its sales growth is beginning to slow down.

    Facebook’s total sales for the quarter were up 49% from the same period a year earlier, breaking its streak of five consecutive quarters of growing sales at 50% or more.

    David Wehner, Facebook’s CFO, said in November the company expected to see its ad sales growth rate “come down meaningfully” in 2017. The reason: Facebook is hitting the ceiling for how many ads it can shove in front of users.

    Wehner reiterated that point on a conference call with analysts Wednesday.

    Facebook stock fell 3% in afterhours trading.

    According to CNN, analysts are now looking to other Facebook services like Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp to pick up the slack as Facebook’s main business matures. Facebook does not break out sales for the other services.

    WhatsApp and Messenger each have more than one billion users and Instagram now has more than 700 million users.

    WhatsApp Status (a feature that copied Snapchat) reached 175 million daily active users, while Instagram Stories recently became more popular than Snapchat.

    In recent months, Facebook has also faced criticism for its handling of ad metrics, fake news and troubling videos of murder and suicide shared on the platform.

    Earlier on Wednesday, Facebook announced plans to add 3,000 reviewers to help monitor and combat violent videos.

    On the earnings call, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said AI tools will get better over time, but it will take a “period of years” to reach the quality level that Facebook wants.

    “It’s not just about getting content off of Facebook,” Zuckerberg said. He pointed to a recent case where Facebook worked with law enforcement to help save someone’s life who was live streaming their suicide on Facebook Live.

    Executives also addressed a report about gender bias at Facebook, which alleged that code written by women was rejected more often than code written by men.

    “This is an issue I take very seriously,” COO Sheryl Sandberg said on the call, adding that the study was conducted by a former employee with “incomplete data”.

    Facebook conducted its own research using full data and found that the rates at which code was sent back coordinated with level not gender. Sandberg said there are more male engineers at the senior level and in the industry in general.
