Why Meta Is Investing Big In Business Messaging

TLDR
  • Meta is struggling to get its wheels turning on Reels. A leaked internal report recently revealed that Instagram Reels get 10 times less engagement than videos on TikTok.
Brief

Meta estimates that around a billion people per week communicate with a business or service account across WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram. And roughly 40% of Meta’s advertisers globally (more than 4 million) use click-to-message ads, which redirect people from Facebook or Instagram into one of Meta’s messaging products to chat with a business. The company told investors last quarter that click-to-message advertising is “a multibillion-dollar business” for Meta with double-digit year-over-year growth.

Brief

Facebook Reels API will enable 3rd party platforms to directly enable a ‘share to reels’ feature, removing friction for users previously using 3rd party platforms and then uploading at a later time to Facebook.
