Instagram changed its logo. The bit you actually tap is the same
Instagram changed its wordmark on Thursday. A wordmark is the written name, the word “Instagram” as it appears at the top of the app. It is not the icon. The pink and orange gradient square on your home screen is untouched. The change itself is small. The new type carries cursive curves on the letters […]

This is Instagram’s new logo
Instagram has unveiled a new wordmark, moving away from the recognizable cursive typeface it’s used over the last decade. The updated wordmark is a strange mix of half-cursive half-print that’s somehow less ligible than its predecessor.

Meta says it has removed 756,000 Australian teen accounts, but most under-16s are still online
Meta has deactivated 756,000 Australian accounts it believes belonged to under-16s, a figure it disclosed as the country’s world-first social media ban moves from threat to enforcement. The company says 462,000 of those accounts were on Instagram and 294,000 on Facebook, all removed between December 2025 and June 2026. It is a big, headline-friendly number, […]

China would not let Meta keep Manus. Users have until 24 August to save their work
Manus is leaving Meta. The Chinese agent startup told users this week that it will “soon return to operating as an independent company”. That is not a change of heart. Beijing refused to let the acquisition stand, and Meta chose not to fight it. The unwinding has a cost, and customers are paying part of […]

Meta has launched a Threads app for Meta Quest VR headsets, the company announced on Tuesday.

It seems like a pretty full-featured app. Meta says that […]
