Instagram posts are appearing elsewhere – without the knowledge of the people posting them, and with no way for them to stop it once they do find out. Users of the company’s new Instagram Threads app are finding that their posts are being automatically pushed into their Facebook feeds. The company said that it was “listening” to complaints from users who did not want their posts appearing on Facebook. But it does not appear to be offering a way for people to stop it happening. Meta has often used its various platforms to promote other ones. New apps and features have often been shown in the Facebook news feed especially, as the company looks to introduce them to other users. Facebook has long shown posts from Instagram Reels, for instance. And companies on WhatsApp can buy ads that show on Facebook. The new behaviour means that people loading up their Facebook news feed may see posts that their friends have put on Instagram Threads. Users complained that the behaviour was unwanted, however. “How do I keep my Threads from showing up on Facebook? I want [them] separate and I don’t want my Threads randomly showing up on Facebook in someone’s “for you” or any place else,” one user wrote in response to the company. In response, it confirmed that it had made the change but did not appear to suggest it would be changed. The update was intended “to make it easier for people to see the latest content from Threads directly on Facebook and Instagram”, it said, but it is “listening to feedback like yours as we continue to build on this”. Author and YouTuber Hank Green was one of many who pleaded with the company to go back to keeping posts on the various apps separate. “It’s really true that threads and Facebook have very different cultures and I choose specifically what I want to go where. For other people, that can actually be a little unsafe. Let people opt out. Next time, build that first. Move slow, fix things. We’re doing good here,” he wrote in response to the official Threads account.

With her Eras Tour, surprise songs and Easter eggs, Taylor Swift is always creating a buzz on the internet, and recently the phrase "I am done with Taylor Swift" has been trending. But what does this mean? Well, it seems some Swifties are puzzled by the trend too, as one person asked: "I’m so confused why is I AM DONE WITH TAYLOR SWIFT trending???" Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter "Just saw 'i am done with taylor swift' trending and i was so confused...." another person added. Though it turns out this trend is about what surprise songs Swift plays each night on the Eras Tour, as Swifties who aren't in attendance find out she sang a favourite of theirs. Some of the surprise songs recently include 'exile' from 'folklore', 'King of My Heart' and 'Dress' from 'Reputation', as well as 'New Romantics' from '1989' - the latter album which Swift has announced the date of the Taylor's Version re-record release later this year on October 27. Here are some of the best reactions to the trend: While others who didn't know the full context behind the trend shared how they were scared when they initially saw the quote and thought the singer might have got "cancelled". But some are scared to look in case their favourite song was played at shows they weren't at. Elsewhere, Swift announced the release date for 1989 (Taylors Version) during her last LA show after performing at the SoFi Stadium for six nights, closing the US leg of her Eras Tour. "Surprise!! 1989 (Taylor’s Version) is on its way to you!" she wrote in an Instagram post with a photo of the new cover art. "The 1989 album changed my life in countless ways, and it fills me with such excitement to announce that my version of it will be out October 27th." The re-recorded album from 2014 will include the 21 songs from the original deluxe release along with five extra songs from The Vault which Swift described as "so insane.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct 3, 2023--

It feels like Taylor Swift is everywhere at the moment. Every day there is a new story from one of her sell-out Eras tour concerts or a new fan theory about what her next release will be. Then there is all the news about her supposed new boyfriend Matty Healy of The 1975. With all this in mind it's easy to forget that Taylor Swift is one of the biggest and most talented musicians of the last 20 years and she has a plethora of songs in her back catalog. This is why a new TikTok trend has emerged around Swift's 10 albums to date and oddly involves maths. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter The trend is simple but you might need a calculator to take part in it. All you need to do is rate each song on all of Swift's 10 albums out of 10 (it's up to you which versions of the albums you want to rank). Once you have done that add up the scores for each song and then divide it by the amount of songs on the record and it will give you the average score for that album. @lizwizdom Mathematically proven cuz i’m a mastermind #greenscreen #greenscreenvideo #taylorswift #swiftie The results are mystifying some Taylor Swift fans who are discovering that their favourite Swift album was not what they originally thought it was. @laurneliastreet mathematically calculating your album ranking is so overrated😔🙄🫣🫣🫣😕 #taylorswiftalbumranking #taylorswiftmathematicalranking #mathematicalranking #taylorswiftranking #taylorswift #shocking #devastating #imsosad #whyme @Taylor Swift @Taylor Nation In essence, you can pretty much do this with any artist and their discography.
