In this episode of The Weekly Scroll, I’m breaking down the most important social media updates you need to know right now and exactly what they mean for your growth as a creator or business owner.

Instead of spending hours scrolling for changes across Instagram, Threads, and Meta, I do the work for you. No jargon, no fluff, just clear explanations and smart strategy so you can stay ahead without burning out.

This week’s episode is extra special because I’m joined by Darby Hathaway, Director of Operations at Enfluence Marketing Studio and lead strategist inside Club Enfluence. We walk through this week’s biggest platform updates, share real-world implications, and talk through how creators should actually respond.

In this episode, we cover:

• 
  

  Instagram’s change to how views are counted and why lower views don’t mean lower performance

  
  


• 
  

  What Instagram’s new Reels TV app and watch-party testing signals about the future of short-form video

  
  


• 
  

  Threads expanding topic-based Communities, including Community Champion badges and flair, and why niche authority now matters more than reach

  
  


• 
  

  Meta’s rollout of Reels algorithm controls and what “Your Algorithm” means for content strategy moving forward

  
  

If you’re a creator, entrepreneur, or business owner who wants to understand how social media is evolving and how to adapt without chasing every trend, this is an episode you don’t want to skip.
