From fresh collaborations to innovative tools and features designed to redefine our social media experience, this week has been full of exciting updates.
In a fun twist, MrBeast also made headlines, teaming up with Indian creators Ajey Nagar, Abhishek Malhan, Samay Raina, Mithilesh Patankar, and Zayn Saifi for an entertaining video to promote his new gaming show, "Beast Games." Meanwhile, Dolly Singh unveiled Season 2 of 'Best Worst Date' on Instagram, in collaboration with Jockey Woman. The seven-episode series is being released daily from December 16 to 22, adding to the excitement in the digital world.
On the social media front, Elon Musk, CEO of X, stirred up some conversation by criticizing the use of hashtags on the platform, calling them unnecessary and unattractive. His remarks came in response to a user's comment, which included feedback from Grok, the AI tool on X. Mumbai came alive as Vicky Kaushal and Parineeti Chopra joined Karan Aujla on stage at the ‘It Was All A Dream’ concert. The energy was elevated further as Norwegian dance group Quick Style added their charm, making the Mumbai leg of the tour even more special.
Instagram is also stepping into the future with its latest development, testing AI-powered video editing tools as a potential replacement for traditional filters. Slated for a 2025 launch, these features, introduced by Instagram director Adam Mosseri, will allow users to edit videos using simple text commands, offering a fully customizable editing experience, and moving beyond the filters that have long defined the platform.
