Facebook has introduced a new link history feature on Android and iOS. Using this feature, users can see a list of all the websites they have visited in the browser within the Facebook mobile app. So, every time you tap on a link within the app, it appears in the link history section. However, this is not exactly great for your social media privacy. So, if you want to turn it off, open the Facebook app and go to Menu (in the top right corner on Android and bottom left on iOS) -> Settings & privacy -> Settings -> Browser -> toggle off allow link history -> Don't allow.

Music licensing and distribution prevents Instagram from directly allowing you to save stories with music. However, recently, be it a bug or a feature, iOS users can directly save such stories. All they need to do is head to Instagram -> create a story -> tap on the three-dot icon in the top right instead of publishing the story -> select save. This saves the story with music to the iPhone's camera roll. On Android, users will not be able to hear the music once they follow this method. To save stories with music, they have to go to an Instagram chat -> send the story they have saved -> swipe up and add music -> select "keep it in chat" and hit send. Then, they need to long press on the sent video -> select save. We have also included a third-party tool to download stories with music.
Using Vanish Mode in Instagram chats, you can send disappearing messages, images and videos, thereby keeping your messages from piling up over time. Not to mention that Vanish Mode makes chatting a lot more secure in general. To use the feature, simply open the Instagram app -> open the chat you want to enable vanish mode for -> swipe up to enable the feature. Swipe up again to disable the feature. However, do note that this feature is not available in the web or desktop app for Instagram.
To appear offline on Instagram, you will have to turn off your activity status on the platform. Although it was much easier to find back in the day, it is not as straightforward now. To turn off the active status on Android or iOS, head to your Instagram profile -> hamburger icon -> Settings and privacy -> Messages and story replies -> toggle off the Show activity status. On the web version, the only difference is that the hamburger icon is at the bottom left corner of the home page.

Snapchat launched its latest AI-powered feature called Snapchat Dreams to allow users to generate AI selfies with ease. This feature requires users to take selfies, feed them to the AI, and it then outputs up to 8 generative AI selfies by placing them against an imaginative backdrop. It could resemble a royal banquet during the Renaissance period or a mermaid amidst a deep seascape.
