Instagram Low Light

After weeks of spoiling us with new awesome features (Stories, Zoom, etc…) Instagram is still making us happier this week. The company introduced a new feature that helps you take better pictures in dark environments.

Low light is only available in Stories at this point, but I’m sure Instagram will also roll it out to the main upload section very soon. Try it, it is awesome!

	Facebook Announces Updates That Will Improve Its Mobile Experience – With most Facebook users logging in on mobile, it’s only logical for Facebook to want to constantly improve the mobile experience for them.

But worry not, this is being rectified. When using the latest version of Instagram (that’s version 9.2.1), you will notice a half-moon shaped button appear at the bottom of your screen.
	Social Media: What If We’re Doing It Backwards – Something significant has changed/is changing in social media for many of us. Can YOU feel it? I can.
