Controversy and uncertainty are swirling around the two major image sharing platforms – and Flickr is looking pretty good right now

Instagram has announced the release of its new video editing app, Edits, while TikTok, its rival social network, faces uncertain days.

The app went dark nationwide on Saturday night, but the company indicated it was in the process of restoring the service after assurances from President-elect Donald J. Trump.

Among those is popstar Gracie Abrams, who took to Instagram to reassure her followers. “I had t unfollow @vp and @potus three separate times today because [Meta] kept automatically refollowing the accounts,” she said on Instagram stories. “How curious! Had to block them in order to make sure I am nowhere near that.”

Demi Lovato shared to her Instagram story that she claims to have unfollowed JD Vance on the VP US government official account twice and the platform won’t let her do it, calling it ‘shady business’. Cara Delevingne also posted a screenshot to her story claiming that it’s ‘happening to me’. So what is actually going on?

In the days before TikTok went dark, Instagram and Facebook released a flurry of new features and ran advertisements promoting its platforms as a comparable alternative.

Meta’s Instagram and Google’s YouTube are getting ready to welcome TikTok users, as the Supreme Court upheld a law that effectively bans the Chinese-owned app from the United States.

Edits – to rival TikTok amid the chaos of its supposed ban in the United States. However, you’re going to have to wait to use it.

While TikTok already returned its US operations thanks to the massive support the incoming President Donald J. Trump pledged, CapCut is yet to be reinstated and be available on mobile app platforms.

Meta hasn't mentioned TikTok by name, but its new "Breakthrough bonus programme" is trying to appeal to creators using its competitors' platforms.

Some posts related to obtaining abortion pills were recently hidden on Instagram and Facebook and some accounts were suspended, before being later restored.
