Instagram is getting a makeover

As mentioned yesterday, there'll be plenty of Instagram news this week and below you'll find details of the app's makeover or 'visual refresh' as they put it.

Once again, I working with a charity today as well as prepping Twitter training for the CEO of the British Council.

Have a good day!

Thought for the day

Are you on BeReal?

I'm quite enjoying it. It works like this...everyday at a different time, everyone is notified simultaneously to capture and share a photo in 2 minutes of whatever you happen to be doing at that time.

I find it fascinating to get a glimpse into friends and strangers lives. Although you could describe it as an app full of the most boring content ever 😁 Let me know what you think!
