Meta Platforms launched two apps - Forum and Instants -- this month as part of its flagship social networking platforms, Facebook and Instagram. The latest move shows that the company is doubling down on stand-alone social apps modelled on already successful platforms.
Forum is Facebook Groups reimagined as a Reddit-style discussion platform with AI-powered search and recommendations, while Instants turns Instagram into a more spontaneous, Snapchat and BeReal-like space for ephemeral photo sharing.
