Media Perception Of Social Workers

Meta is bringing its AI translation tool to more users on Facebook and Instagram, which automatically dubs your reels into another language. The feature also uses AI to make its dub match up with the sound of your voice and the movement of your mouth. For now, you can only translate your reels from English to Spanish (and vice versa), similar to what Meta previewed during its Connect event last year. You can enable the tool by selecting the Translate voices with Meta AI toggle on the menu that appears before you publish a reel on Instagram and Facebook.

Instagram is getting several new features that pull from competitors, and it’s updating a controversial feature that it added earlier this year. Starting today , users will have the ability to repost public Reels and grid posts from other accounts. And similar to TikTok, reposts will be collected in a designated tab on your profile and sprinkled into the feeds of people who follow you. It’s a small but meaningful shift from how Instagram currently operates: until now, the most efficient way to share other users’ content was to repost it on your Instagram Story. Now, you can essentially reblog it. Instagram is also pulling from Snapchat and adding an opt-in location map that lives in your private messages. The map shows the last active location for friends who have opted in to the feature; it also pulls content from specific locations, such as a music festival, where many people are posting from. It’s the Snap Map but redesigned for Instagram. Finally, Instagram is upda...
