Hi friend 👋🏼 and welcome to this week’s edition of “the dump.” Quick one this week, mostly about changes for Instagram DMs, and Facebook live videos.

Ok, now let’s look at what else is happening, shall we?
Let’s go!

The feature is part of a new update to its app that also includes a ‘search posts’ feature for user profiles. The features help differentiate the app from competitors like X and Threads.
