Meta Launches ‘Share to Reels’ Option for Third-Party Developers

Meta is adding the  ability to post Reels from third-party apps . Several of Meta’s partners have already integrated the “Sharing to Reels” button in their apps.

NEW Privacy Settings Walkthrough for Google Chrome

Google is adding a new  “step-by-step guided tour”  of privacy and security settings in Chrome. This new user-friendly tool will also include separate pages about some settings, each containing descriptions of what happens when a feature is turned on.

Unlinked Mentions Versus Links for Better Google Rankings

If your business and services are mentioned online without linking to your website, does Google still treat it like a link?  Google’s John Mueller  states brand mentions are not a link, so Google treats them differently. However, unlinked mentions of your business or a name can still be good publicity for your business as users still might search for your site on their own accord.
