1. Facebook Is Rolling Out “Message Unsend” On Messenger For All Users

3. Facebook Page Admins Can Send Direct Messages From Page Inbox
Facebook had recently announced that it plans to integrate messaging services — WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook Messenger, affirming control over the company’s extensive divisions. Facebook has quietly taken another step towards the unification of its messaging apps, with the announcement that Facebook page admins will now be able to respond to Instagram Direct Messages from their Facebook page inbox.
4. Instagram Brings A New Update On New IGTV Promotions On The Main Page
In this update, a new form of IGTV promos will now be shown in your main Instagram feed whenever a profile you follow shares an IGTV video. The new promo option will give IGTV broadcasters a chance to share a clip from their latest contribution within the main feed – users can then tap through if they want to see more. And while it may feel a little intrusive, it could have significant benefits for Instagram as it looks to encourage more IGTV usage.
