🔔 What’s New on Social Media – Week of Oct 6, 2025
Platform Updates & New Features:
Instagram / Meta Releases “Reply with Audio” for Threads Posts. Replies on Threads can now include short voice clips. Cool for adding more personality or tone to your responses.
LinkedIn Experimenting with Audio DMs. A handful of users are seeing the ability to send voice messages in direct messages. If it rolls out broadly, could change DMs from purely text to more human interaction.
Trends Gaining Momentum:
Audio-first content is creeping into all platforms. With Threads’ “reply with audio” and LinkedIn DM audio tests, voice is becoming a more common element beyond just podcasting or Clubhouse-style rooms.
Pinned comments / anchor messages are becoming standard. This gives you more control over what message people see first—good for directing conversation or emphasizing your focus.
Less text, more show & tell. Short-form visuals, screen recording videos, and micro-demos are getting more favor. Think less “tell” and more “show.”
