Instagram is testing a new app layout!

The article below discusses how reels and DMs are getting bigger spots on the bottom menu.
This means faster scrolling, faster replies, and more focus on video.

This is another sign that shows:

- Reels drive visibility
- DMs drive conversations and sales

If you use Instagram for growth, ensure your videos are clear, and your messages are ready.

The deadline for TikTok to be sold to a U.S. company hits Dec. 16. This is the fourth time the deadline is expiring, and still, no approved U.S. buyer, no confirmation from ByteDance owners of TikTok, and no clear answer on whether TikTok will stay or go.

Tiffany Parson and Ashioma Isu from Virtual Hired Hand Team break it down:

- Why the U.S. wants TikTok sold
- What happened during the January shutdown
- Data privacy concerns
- Whether TikTok will actually be banned

If TikTok is a key part of your audience growth or sales:

- Start backing up your videos
- Drive traffic to your email list
- Stay active on other platforms

Don't wait for the deadline. Stay ready.
