June has been a pretty interesting month for social media. If you missed the cool updates across the social media platforms, look no further. With social media growing and changing at a very fast rate, we decided it was time to start rounding up the latest and greatest June updates! It seems like there are things we didn’t even know we needed until they came to be! Check out the updates from this month below:

Facebook –

Live Chat – Yes, this happened. With Facebook Live, you can now chat live with friends face-to-face. Nothing new nor is it anything fancy. But it is for sure, a convenient update for all Facebook users. Rather than live streaming to everyone in your friend’s list, you can now choose who you want to talk to individually through FB!

Fundraisers- Facebook also added a new feature that allows you to set up your own fundraiser campaigns right within the platform. These campaigns are easy to start, share, and receive donations for a cause you care about! Keep in mind that any fundraiser you start has to be pre-approved by FB, though. So, no more wasting time just start setting up the GoFundMe page. Quite a relief isn’t it?

Instagram –

Face Filters- The Instagram stories Vs Snapchat Stories battle continues. Many of us are frequent users of the Snapchat filters which we post across all social media platforms. If you’re a fan of Snapchat’s infamous face filters, you’ll be happy to know that Instagram Stories now has them, too!

Upload posts from outside the app – We didn’t see this coming. But Instagram never fails to amaze us every day. This update is uber cool, as it allows users to update even if they don’t have the app installed on their phones. You can now upload content from outside the app itself! But why would we want to do that, you ask? Providing more ways for users to add content gives the platform more flexibility. This update will benefit users in developing regions, where downloading the app might not be a simple option.

Snapchat-

Collaborative Stories – Instagram may be following Snapchat’s footsteps with their version of Stories, but let us assure you that Snapchat is way ahead in its league. Now, you can collaborate on Stories with other users! It’s an interesting concept that none of us saw coming. In our opinion, this sets Snapchat apart from its rival Instagram entirely. Instagram, you have a long way to go!

Limitless Snaps – With this cool new update, you can make snaps that last forever! Your funny faces and crazy filters can be frozen in time and live on. Interesting enough? Try it now!

Pinterest –

Stats on Pins – Pinterest has finally made viewing stats much easier. With this new feature, you can view the statistics on each Pin you post and do more of what works and less of what doesn’t.

Twitter –

Approve DM’s – Just like Instagram DM’s, whenever someone who you don’t follow DM’s you; you can now decide whether or not you want to talk to them!

New Layout – Twitter is now more… rounder. With a new path to your profile, Twitter is ultimately trying to minimize its look and make it more clean! Sometimes less is better.
