Trending TikTok Sounds & Viral Trends in June 2026

TikTok trends don’t wait for your content calendar. By the time you’ve planned, filmed, and posted, the moment’s already passed. This guide fixes that. Every month, this page tracks what’s trending on TikTok: the sounds gaining momentum, the formats worth recreating, the hashtags driving reach, and the cultural moments shaping content. But tracking trends is only half the problem. The other half is knowing which ones deserve your time, which ones to skip, and how to turn a 15-second format into actual business results. That’s what separates brands that ride TikTok trends from brands that get buried by them. Key Takeaways: TikTok trends have a short shelf life, most peak within 7–10 days of breaking Sound-driven formats have a participation window; format-driven trends last longer Busines...

Why Hootsuite is going headless, and why that’s just the start

The first month, I’m told, is for listening. I’ve done some of that. But fifteen days in, the picture is already sharper than that script implies. Here’s my honest view of where we are and where we’re going. The interface is not the product anymore For two decades, social media management has been defined by the screen: a dashboard, a calendar, a publishing queue, an inbox. Hootsuite arguably invented that screen. Millions of marketers, agencies, and care teams open it every morning. But the screen was never the value. The value was the capability sitting behind it: schedule a post across a dozen networks, listen to what 150 million sources are saying about your brand, route a customer complaint to the right team in 90 seconds, prove ROI to a CMO on Friday afternoon. SaaS is go...

Why Your 4th Team Member Kills Your Agency’s Profit Margins.

Nobody talks about the $2,388. Not the job boards. Not the agency growth podcasts. Not the founder threads on Reddit where everyone’s sharing their “0 to $30k/month” stories. But that number, $2,388, is what one new team member adds to your tool bill every single year. Just from one tool. Before they’ve scheduled a single post, written a single caption, or sent a single client report. And if you’re running a social media agency and you just hired, or you’re about to hire your 4th person? That number is already eating your margins. You just haven’t seen it show up yet. At SocialPilot, we’ve watched agencies hit this exact wall more times than we can count. The salary gets blamed. The hire gets second-guessed. The tool bill never comes up. You made the right call hiring. The instinct was cor...

How to Create a Social Media Marketing Strategy for Business

Jumping into social media marketing for the first time? You’re definitely not alone. As of late 2025, there are 5.6 billion people on social media, which is approximately two-thirds of the global population, and over 90% of the global internet users.  With numbers like that, it’s clear why brands of all sizes are eager to get a piece of the action.  But here’s the catch: social media marketing can sometimes feel like a giant puzzle where everyone wants to be seen. But given the huge competition on social platforms, mass visibility for businesses certainly becomes a challenge.  This is where the need for a smart social media marketing strategy can help you cut through the noise, focus on the right platforms, and speak to the right audience.

Is Australia’s Teen Social Media Ban Actually Working?

Is Australia’s Teen Social Media Ban Actually Working?

The Australian government continues to claim that its teen social media ban has been a big success, with more than 4.7 million accounts believed to be operated by teens either deactivated or restricted since the implementation of the new laws last month. And that is a big amount, especially in a country with a population of only 28 million people. Meta alone says that it’s removed 544k accounts in accordance with the new rules, while Snapchat reportedly had around 440k users aged between 13 and 15 in its app. But is the teen social media ban really working, or have Australian teens just worked out how to avoid the new restrictions, and are therefore still accessing their favorite apps? Well, I’m in Australia, so I can ask them, and while the responses I can gather on my own are anecdotal,...

This is the power of effective image sharing. It’s a way to connect with potential customers on an emotional level and drive them towards your brand. “Fresh content doesn’t exist to game the SEO system. It’s the words, images, and stories that truly engage us, make us want to share with others, and creates a bond between us and a brand.” – Shawn Amos There are many distinctive yet subtle ways to promote your business online. One such method is image sharing, also known as “syndication.” Visual processing of complex objects in the brain typically occurs within a range of 0-500 milliseconds.

Scroll. Tap. Buy. That’s how fast today’s customers make decisions, and if your brand isn’t ready to sell where people spend the most time (hint: social media), you’re already behind.

Reddit Posts Significant Increase in Revenue in Q2

Reddit has published its latest performance report, showing steady increases in ad revenue and usage in Q2 2025, as it continues to refine and improve its business elements. Though its user growth did slow a little in the last three months, and its costs are rising. Here’s a look at the latest data from the Reddit team. First off, on users. Reddit rose to 110.4 million daily active users in Q2, a slight increase on its Q1 numbers. As you can see in this chart, Reddit’s international growth slowed significantly in Q2, while its U.S. usage remains fairly stagnant. That could suggest that Reddit’s popularity is beginning to plateau, and the fact that it’s losing momentum in international markets could be a concern. Still, Reddit says that it remains confident in its growth opportunities. A...

Meta Takes Next Steps Towards the Development of True Artificial Intelligence

Meta’s looking to take the next major steps in AI development, which has become a key focus for Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, as he eyes a new era of digital interaction, where true artificial intelligence can be achieved. Meta’s latest project on this front is its V-JEPA 2 world model, which can help computer systems understand more about their environment, in order to factor such into their responses. As explained by Meta: “As humans, we have the ability to predict how the physical world will evolve in response to our actions or the actions of others. For example, you know that if you toss a tennis ball into the air, gravity will pull it back down. When you walk through an unfamiliar crowded area, you’re making moves toward your destination, while also trying not to bump into people or obst...

Google Expands Access To Conversational AI in Search

Similar to how every platform has been turning its focus to short-form video over the past few years, attention is now turning to AI chatbots, with Google being the latest to add a ChatGPT style interface to Search, as a means to capitalize on rising interest. As you can see in this example, Google’s “AI Mode” in Google Search enables you to take a more conversational approach to web discovery, with a ChatGPT-like UI, that you can converse with like a know-it-all human. Google began testing its AI Mode with approved testers back in March, and it’s now expanding access to all Google Labs users in the U.S. As per Google: “Millions of people are using AI Mode in Labs to search in new ways - asking longer, harder questions, using follow-up questions to hone in on what they really want to k...

How to Add Google Reviews to Shopify Website (2025)

So, this is something. Today, X has announced a March Madness “Bracket Challenge”, in partnership with Uber Eats, with the grand prize for a perfect March Madness bracket being a trip to Mars onboard one of Elon’s yet-to-be-built rocket ships. Yep, a trip to Mars. That’s definitely going to happen, definitely sometime in the next decade.

Yep. I mean, I get why people are so high on Elon, based on the various projects that he’s been involved with that have defied expectation, or expanded what’s possible with certain technologies.

Hootsuite CEO Irina Novoselsky on marketing to Gen Z

Around this time every year, I like to reflect on my upbringing. I moved to the US from Ukraine at a young age, and my parents had less than $300 in their pocket to start an entirely new life. It shaped the way I see the world — and the way I approach business, even to this day. It also taught me the value of adaptability and being open to new perspectives. These are two skills that leaders need now more than ever as we experience a massive shake-up in the business world, thanks to a generation that’s turning the status quo on its head. Yes, I’m talking about Gen Z, the group responsible for breaking the marketing funnel and making the business playbooks we use every day obsolete. It’s why I dedicated four months speaking to over 500 Gen Zers working at B2B organizations. Keep scr...

Meta’s Planning to Launch New Smart Glasses, Ahead of AR Expansion

Meta’s AR glasses are set to take another step forward this year, with the latest reports on the company’s moves providing some more insight into its wearables planning. According to a new report from Bloomberg, Meta’s planning to release a new version of its current smart glasses later this year, aimed specifically at athletes, with the device’s data tracking elements to help improve performance feedback. Meta’s athletic sunglasses will reportedly be based on Oakley’s “Sphaera” style, and will come with a single camera, in the center of the frame, in order to reduce weight. Oakley is owned by EssilorLuxottica, the same company that owns Ray Ban, which Meta has already partnered with on its first smart glasses.

24 simple ways to increase Facebook engagement (free calculator)

For commitmentphobes, the word “engagement” might be a terrifying and loaded one — but for social media marketers, Facebook engagement is the holy grail. Of course, we’re not talking about popping the big Q: we’re talking about growing your interactions (reactions, shares, comments) and audience for your Facebook Page. Facebook engagement matters because it can help extend organic reach. Engagement helps boost your News Feed placement based on the Facebook algorithm. Plus, likes and shares expose your posts to your audience’s extended network. Strong engagement indicates that your audience cares about what you have to say. And an engaged audience that wants to interact with your brand is something every marketer should aim for. ...

Is Threads Really Scared of Bluesky?

Is Threads really concerned about the rise of Bluesky? Well, yes and no, though it depends on what exactly you mean by “concerned” in this context. First off, to clarify the situation, Twitter clone app Bluesky, which was originally launched as an internal Twitter project, and is staffed by former Twitter employees, has jumped from 9 million users in September, to 20 million today. Now, 20 million is still a long way off of Threads’ 275 million actives, so it’s not like Bluesky is suddenly breathing down Threads’ neck on overall popularity, while neither app is anywhere close to X, which claimed that it’s now up to 570 million monthly actives back in July. But it does seem like Threads is at least a little concerned, based on its sudden roll-out of a heap of new updates (several of whi...

TikTok Announces Shut Down of Separate TikTok Music App

In news that will impact… well, very few people in all honesty, TikTok has announced that it’s shutting down its separate “TikTok Music” streaming app, after various operational challenges and limited user interest. TikTok Music was initially launched in India in late 2019, under its original name “Resso”, which aligned with TikTok’s own meteoric rise in the nation. And while TikTok was banned in India in 2020, somehow, Resso avoided the same restriction. Yet, even so, Indian users didn’t show a lot of interest in TikTok’s own streaming provider. And when the app was eventually banned by Indian authorities earlier this year, it was pretty much already on the outs as a viable alternative in the region. TikTok renamed Resso to “TikTok Music” last year (which may have led to its ban in I...

Instagram’s Experimenting With a New Way to Engage with Trending Memes

Instagram’s keen to tap into the power of participatory content, as an avenue to get more people posting more often, this time via popular memes, and making them easier to interact with in the app. As you can see in this screenshot example, posted by app researcher Radu Oncescu, Instagram’s working on a new “Memes” option within its Reels editing tools, which would enable you to add popular meme elements into your clips. The meme option would give you access to a range of popular, animated meme elements, which could then be overlaid on your Reels to give them a more topical, engaging element. That could be a popular option, providing a simple way for users to engage with trending meme templates.

7 Proven Ways to Convert Social Media Followers into Customers

If content is king, then conversion is queen -John Munsell Think about it. The fundamental aim of any activity performed by a social media marketer on social networks is to gain followers. But is that enough? Not quite. In fact, it is the first step of any social media marketing campaign. What follows is a powerful strategy involving gentle coaxing and convincing to monetize your social connections. Your business could have a huge fan following. But if your followers fail to convert, the entire marketing strategy becomes pointless. For every $92 that brands spent on acquiring leads, only $1 were incurred on converting them -(Econsultancy, 2016). What is it that stops these living advocates of your brand from converting? There are obviously some shortcomings in your social media strategy t...

Meta Tests DMs on Threads via Instagram Inbox

Good news: You’ll soon be able to send DMs on Threads. Bad news: They won’t be via a dedicated Threads inbox. This week, Meta launched a new live test of DMs on Threads, with some users seeing a new “Message” CTA button on Threads profiles. As you can see in this example, shared by Chris Messina, the new Threads DM option will technically enable you to send messages to users via the app. But as you can see in the bottom prompt, that message won’t be via Threads itself. Instead, you’ll actually be sending your DM to their Instagram inbox. Which is not so bad. I mean, it’s still a DM option within Threads, providing an advanced connection process within the app. But many will be disappointed that Threads isn’t getting its own DM inbox, which, as a replica of Twitter, would bring it more ...

Easy Guide + Tips for Results in 2024

The mall is out. Shopping on social media is in. And you may not be able to buy a soft pretzel or smell free samples of perfume on Instagram (yet), but IG is making its case for being the go-to sales channel in 2024. Selling on Instagram embraces social shopping, the practice of selling products directly on social media. A 2023 survey by Rakuten Insight in India found that 74% of women and 68% of men prefer shopping on Instagram to shopping on any other app (sorry Facebook, Youtube and TikTok). And another 2023 report by PYMNTS.com concluded that 21% of the consumers that use Instagram to browse goods and services end up purchasing the products they find. Selling on Instagram pays—especially when you’re using the best practices, expert marketing advice and kickass ads. Here’s how to ...

2 Ways to Take Back the Power in Your Business: Part 2

Before we dive into the second way to assume power in your business, let’s revisit Part 1.  Who informs your marketing strategy?  YOU, with your carefully curated strategy informed by data and deep knowledge of your brand and audience? Or any of the 3 Cs below?  Competitors: Their advertising and digital presence and seemingly never-ending budgets consume the landscape. Colleagues: Their tried-and-true proven tactics or lessons learned. Customers: Their calls, requests, and ideas.  Considering any of the above is not bad, in fact, it can be very wise! However, listening quickly becomes devastating if it lends to their running our business or marketing department.  It’s time we move from defense to offense, sitting in the driver’s seat rather than allowing any of the 3 Cs ...

Meta Updates AI Labeling Policy to Expose Generated Content in its Apps

Meta’s updating its AI content labels to ensure that a broader range of synthetic content is being tagged, in response to a growing flood of generative AI posts in the app. Over the past few months, more and more AI engagement bait has been showing up on Facebook, and has also been generating a heap of engagement. Like, even the slightest level of scrutiny would reveal that this is not a real image. But Facebook is used by billions of people, and not all of them are going to zoom in, or have the digital literacy to even be aware that generative AI can even be used in this way (as denoted by the 6.9k Likes on this post). As such, Meta’s updating its AI labeling policies to ensure that more AI-generated content is tagged and disclosed accordingly. As per Meta: “Our existing approach is t...

Pokes Are Back on Facebook (Sort of)

Pokes are back, and so is the nostalgia of a magical time when Facebook was new and fresh, and not the scourge of democracy, eating up the data of 3 billion unwitting tributaries across the population diaspora of the planet. Back on early Facebook, when the site looked like this: Poking people was a prominent feature. You can see the “Poke him!” option beneath the profile image here. What’s a poke? Well, nothing. You poke a person, they poke you back. It’s like the least interactive interaction you can have, but it was also a fun way to maybe flirt, let somebody know you’re thinking of them, etc. But then, the era of the poke faded. People got annoyed with the random “Jeff poked you” notifications, and in 2011, Facebook relegated the poke option to the wastelands of your deep settings,...

X Continues to Share Misleading Data Notes, As Third Party Reports Show Declines in Usage

Every time you go to write anything about the platform formerly known as Twitter these days, whether you like it or not, whether you intend to or not, you are also going to be wading into political waters. That’s because Elon Musk has made X into a political story in itself, while any criticism is viewed through the lens of personal hate for Elon, and an effort to stop Musk’s inherently political goals. “You hate free speech” is the most common counter, but in reality, nobody hates free speech, and the vast majority of critics aren’t trying to make a comment on Musk or his stated goals. In fact, those same critics have been just as harsh about Meta, TikTok, Snapchat, etc. But Elon has intentionally tried to make criticism of X a bigger issue than just the flaws at X itself. Yet, it’s di...

Reddit Shares Performance Data and Growth Strategy Ahead of Coming IPO

Reddit’s IPO is almost here, with the company filing its S-1 registration with the SEC today, which outlines its current finances and strategic goals, ahead of the pending listing. And there are some interesting notes in the data provided. First off, Reddit, which will soon be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “RDDT”, claims that it has over 73 million daily active users, and 500 million monthly visitors. Which is a highly unusual split of daily to monthly active usage. In general, most social platforms see a 1:1.8 ratio of daily/monthly users, with some variance. Facebook, for example, has 2.11b DAU and 3.07b MAU (x1.45), while Snapchat has 414m DAU/800m MAU (x1.9). Reddit claims to have a variation of x6.8 DAU to MAU, which is way out of proportion for those averag...

Your collaboration journey with a social media influencer starts over social media DMs, emails, and phone/video calls. But it shouldn’t end there. Every brand and influencer agreement should be formalized into a legally binding social media influencer contract. These contracts transform your informal conversations into official business partnerships with clear terms. However, many marketers enter into partnerships with influencers without a thorough understanding of the legal considerations involved. Without a contract in place, you risk disputes over compensation, intellectual property violations, and other complex issues down the line. In this blog, we will shed light on the legal side of influencer marketing and help you create a social media influencer contract to set clear expectation...

As explained by Instagram chief Adam Mosseri: “We’re adding a filter for people you follow because maybe you DM a lot of people you don’t follow yet, negotiating deals, figuring out collaborations. But sometimes you just want to focus the experience on people you know, in order to make the experience a bit safer and more positive.” So for people who get a lot of IG DMs, it could be a handy addition, helping to ensure ...

Facebook Continues to Add Users After 20 Years of Existence

Despite ongoing predictions of its demise, and countless straight up declarations of the same, Facebook is still going strong, and still adding users, despite the app now having been with us for 20 years. Yes, this week marks the 20th anniversary of “The Facebook”, Mark Zuckerberg’s Harvard side project, which went on to become a global powerhouse, which is now used by almost half of all people on the planet. Indeed, as of last count, Facebook now has over 3 billion monthly active users. To put that in perspective, the population of the entire world is around 8 billion, and with 1.4 billion people in China, where Meta’s apps are not available, and around 25% of the global population aged under 15 (you have to be 13 years old to sign up for Facebook), that suggests that the majority of peo...

X Looks to Improve Content Moderation After Issues with AI Images and Bot Farms

Content moderation remains a major challenge on X, despite owner Elon Musk insisting that its crowd-sourced Community Notes are the key solution for combatting harmful content. Last week, AI-generated images of singer Taylor Swift being sexually assaulted by NFL fans gained huge traction on X, reaching over 27 million views, and 260,000 likes, before the originating account was suspended. Swift is now reportedly exploring legal action against X and the creator of the content, while X, unable to stop the spread of the pictures, despite that initial suspension, has now banned all searches for “Taylor Swift” in the app in response. Which is not exactly a great endorsement of the effectiveness of its Community Notes approach. And while this content is in violation of X’s Sensitive Media poli...

An Ultimate Guide to Social Media Influencers: From Why to How?

Influencer marketing has rapidly become a key strategy for many marketers. In fact, 80% of marketers now have a specific budget set aside for influencer campaigns. Marketers understand that people trust the words of influencers rather than their own. Audiences trust influencers for the unique and valuable expertise they bring to the table. So, when these same influencers promote any relevant brand’s product or service, they are likely to try them. We’ve found influencer marketing dramatically expands our brand’s reach and authenticity. Our recent influencer marketing campaign is a testament to that. We at SocialPilot recently collaborated with the truly remarkable Luke Shalom, who is an micro-influencer with over 49K followers.

Is There a Valuable Use Case for Generative AI in Social Apps?

While social platforms are super keen to tap into the generative AI trend, I’m not sure that they’ve worked out a good way to truly integrate AI tools in order to complement their core use case just yet. Sure, there are some generative AI elements that have sparked trending interest, like image generation tools, and even certain chatbots, like Snapchat’s ‘My AI’. But for the most part, the AI tools that we’re getting actually detract from the central mission of social apps, in that they reduce the actual social interaction element. Though that is, of course, in a human-to-human sense, and maybe, that’s not actually where things are headed. Are we moving to a new stage of digital interaction, where humans don’t necessarily have to be involved in conversations? Will chatbots eventually en...
