Social networks are a living entity. Things still shift. We change in response to suggestions from developers, user requests, controversies, legislation and social awareness-raising. People never sleep behind social media networks. They check new technologies, algorithms, advertising and designs.

Tiktok

TikTok is a video-sharing app that originated from Musical.ly in 2017 in case you’re not 100 percent sure what this is. It’s known as Douyin in China. The software lets users make 15-second videos and upload them. This is something that used to be like Vine. The app currently boasts more than 500 million users, particularly among the younger users.

TikTok had dived into ads this year. Much like the big guys, they now have targeting based on interest, personalized audience and pixel tracking, as well as targeting age, gender, venue, network and operating system.

Even before the ads were out, TikTok marketing campaigns were getting famous. It’s only fair that marketing use of the network is about to blow up.

Facebook:-

Much has changed the way Facebook operates this year, with controversies, controversies and more scandals. And the trends are about to change even further. Let’s go through the most significant updates

Custom Ads become more transparent

In the spirit of accountability, Facebook has agreed to let users know more about why a particular Facebook Ad targets them. The “Why do I watch this? Explanation also involves the name of the organization that submitted user details to Facebook, the possible presence of advertisers, Facebook Marketing Partners or other companies, and any other custom audience sharing that may have occurred.

Facebook has also widened its search results to include advertisements in News Feed and Marketplace. Nonetheless, advertisers point out that Facebook is unlikely to give its users a lot of control over data sharing–after all, that’s how the company makes money.

Targeting for certain ads is restricted:

In following the noble goal of fighting prejudice, Facebook restricted options for targeting other businesses.

Housing, jobs and credit advertising can’t be targeted by age, race or gender any more. Facebook clarified that these reforms come as a result of civil rights settlement deals which would help protect people from discrimination.

Video algorithm updated

Facebook hadn’t left videos unseen. Three factors have had an effect on video rankings since beginning of May:

Loyalty and intent:

Videos that people are searching for and returning to, are given priority.

Video viewing duration:

Videos catching the user’s attention for at least one minute shall be given priority.

Originality:

Unoriginal and repurposed material and the material of the Pages involved in the sharing schemes shall be reduced.
