Don’t just post and hope. Ask AI for captions, hashtags and edits that fit each social platform.

⚠️ Scammers are back at it: This time using fake Facebook posts about a “missing police officer” named Carolyn Lynch. The goal? Tug at your heartstrings so you’ll share it, unknowingly flagging yourself as an easy target for future scams. Don’t fall for it.

3:4 aspect ratio

That’s the new photo size Instagram now supports. ICYDK, it’s also how most phone cameras shoot. So now your pics will show up exactly as you took them, with no weird cropping at the top or bottom. And yes, square and 4:5 posts still work, too. Finally, justice for your forehead.

Share Instagram posts the right way: Tagging friends in the comments? Meh. Next time you see a funny reel, tap the little arrow under the post (or on the side). Pick who you want to send it to and hit Send. It lands right in their DMs. 

❤️ See your liked posts on Instagram: You can view everything you’ve liked, whether it’s posts, reels or whatever. Go to Profile > Menu (three lines) > Your activity > Interactions > Likes. Scroll through or sort by Newest to oldest to find what you’re looking for.

💸 Upgrade to an Instagram business profile: A professional account lets you run ads and see what’s working, including your top posts and the best time to share. Already using a personal account for your biz? No need to start over. Just go to Profile > Edit profile > Switch to professional account and follow the steps.

Spot a Facebook Marketplace scammer? Do the right thing and report them. Click the listing, then go to Seller details > Report > Scam. While you’re there, select Block [name] profile and Hide all from [name] to stop their posts from showing up again.

Don’t miss posts on Instagram: To get notified when a person posts, go to their Profile and tap the bell icon in the top right. Toggle on Posts, Stories, Reels or Goes Live. Want to stop the alerts later? Tap the bell again and repeat.

Trying to figure out who called you? Drop the digits into Facebook’s search bar and see what shows up. Use filters like Posts and Date Posted to narrow it down.

🔗 You’re doing LinkedIn wrong: Don’t put links in your LinkedIn posts. The algorithm buries anything that sends folks off the site. Instead, post your content without the link and drop it in the first comment. That tweak can double or even triple your reach. Hiring? Click here to post your job for free!

Reddit to the rescue: Curious if that “get-paid-to-play” app is legit or a scam? Before you hit download, head to Reddit and search for the app’s name. Pro tip: Click the Time filter (like Past month) at the top to find the most recent posts.

👥 Walk down memory lane: Just open the Facebook app, go to a friend’s profile, tap the three dots (on the right) then select See friendship. You’ll see all the posts and photos you’re in together plus any networks you share. Try it with your best buddies.

💎 Kim K’s robbery trial update: Not me, silly. That Paris heist from 2016 when she was held at gunpoint and lost $10 million in jewelry. One of the thieves now says he regrets it because of, wait for it, all the media attention. FYI: They tracked her through her nonstop social media posts. She’s still oversharing today. Classic.

Scam on the line: Phone buzzing with job offers? You’re not alone. Fake posts scammed folks out of $61 million last year, up from $14.8 million in 2023. When money’s tight, scammers know you might take a job you’d usually think twice about. Jobs where the CEO’s email ends in .biz.ru? Pass.

📊 Track your stats: Boost your LinkedIn content by checking your analytics. Open the app and head to your profile. Scroll down to Activity > Show all posts. Tap the [number] impressions or View on any post to see details like engagement, demographics and more.

🤫 Tired of someone’s posts on Instagram? You can mute them without unfollowing. Next time they post, tap the three dots on their post and select Hide. When the prompt appears, tap Mute and choose to mute either Posts or Posts & Story. Bonus: Instagram won’t tell them you did it! 

“Rage-baiting”: It’s what Winta Zesu does when she posts videos of her life as a NY model whose biggest problem is being “too pretty.” Is she a narcissist? Nope. People get angry and post hateful comments. Joke’s on them. More engagement translates to money and sponsorships for her.

They need money: X jacked up the price for a Premium+ subscription, which turns off ads and gives profiles a blue checkmark. Instead of $16 a month, it’s now $22 monthly. The basic subscription that lets you edit posts and type as much as you want is $3. Still not worth it.

🛩️ When you’re the boss, you make the rules: You can post almost anything on social media — as long as it doesn’t tick off the billionaire owners. Take Facebook: Election misinformation, fake news and AI junk? Totally fine. But use public data to track Mark Zuckerberg’s $66.5 million Gulfstream G650ER jet with the tail number N68885, and your account will be suspended.
