Instagram Shopping: How to Shop From the Comfort of Your Home

Instagram seems to have become the social network of the moment. This time, it has undergone the significant modernization process launched by the platform at the beginning of the year; users can now shop online without leaving home.

Instagram shopping is a way for stores to add price tags to photos so that when you view a photo, you can buy one of the items in it.

How to buy through Instagram?

The method for purchasing from Instagram is very simple. If you see a product you like, clicking on the image will reveal the price.

If you’re happy with the price, you can click on the price tag to access the link and begin the purchasing process.

A path that will take you directly to the company’s website. In other words, companies use Instagram as another channel to reach their audience.

From here, you can complete the transaction normally, as if you were using any other website. To tag their post, businesses must follow the same process that any user follows to tag another user in a post.

In addition to Spain and the United States, countries such as Germany, Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Italy, and the United Kingdom now have this new feature on Instagram.

WhatsApp Will Expose Those Who Forward Messages

If you’re one of those who forwards WhatsApp messages, you should know that the world’s most popular instant messaging app will include a tool in its new update to distinguish whether a message you sent to your contacts was written by you or from another conversation.

The new feature will notify you or the recipient that the message has been forwarded. “Forwarded Message” will appear if the message has been forwarded at least once.

Until now, users have been able to forward messages from one chat to another without the recipient noticing any difference from the original text, photo, or other content. However, this is on its last legs.

Facebook Launches Job Search Tool in 40 New Countries; It Hasn’t Yet Reached the Dominican Republic

Facebook announced that its job search tool will be rolling out in 40 new countries now that it has been in the United States and Canada for one year.

Facebook’s head of Jobs and Services Partnerships, Francesca De Quesada Covey, explained that the initiative arose after seeing that users were already using the social network to search for jobs informally, through groups, pages, or personal profiles.

Job postings can be posted through the Facebook mobile app (previously only available on desktop) using the “Jobs” tool, and candidates can subscribe to receive notifications when companies they’re interested in are hiring.

Companies wishing to contact candidates should do so through Messenger, Facebook’s instant messaging app.

Among the countries where Facebook’s new tool is available are Spain, Brazil, and Mexico, and it will soon be available in Uruguay, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic.

How These Updates Impact Users

These new features across Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook show how social platforms are moving beyond communication. They are now part of shopping, work, and even security. For users, this means more convenience but also the need to stay informed.

For Instagram, shopping has become faster and easier, which benefits both customers and brands. Users can browse and buy without leaving their feed, while businesses gain a powerful way to reach potential buyers. However, users should still compare prices, check reviews, and make sure they are buying from trusted accounts.

WhatsApp’s update may feel small, but it has a big purpose. By marking forwarded messages, the app helps reduce misinformation and makes people think twice before sharing something. This can be useful for families, schools, and even workplaces where false news spreads quickly.

Facebook’s job tool is another sign of change. People already spend a lot of time on the platform, so having job opportunities appear there makes the search easier. For companies, it opens a larger pool of candidates. For job seekers, it creates a simple way to apply without switching apps.

Final Thoughts

Social networks are no longer just for posting pictures or chatting with friends. They are shaping how we shop, how we get information, and even how we look for work. While these updates bring many benefits, users should remain cautious and responsible. Knowing how to use each feature wisely will help make the most of these tools without falling into risks like overspending, misinformation, or scams.
