    Instagram Is Reportedly Working on a New Tool Replicating TikTok's Key Features: Instagram appears to be developing a new tool called Clips that seems to mirror many features central to the short-form video app, TikTok.

    This experimental feature, discovered by Jane Manchun Wong in early July, would allow users to combine recorded clips into one video, add music, and adjust each clip's speed and length.

    Instagram Is Developing a Separate Messaging App, Threads: The Verge reports that Instagram could be encouraging more “constant, intimate sharing” between close friends with a possible new app called Threads. This tool is currently being testing internally at Facebook; however, the company declined to make any comments about it.

    Instagram Tests Back-to-Back Stories Ads: Instagram kicked off a test in which a “small percentage” of users will see Instagram Stories ads from two different advertisers back to back in their feed. Adweek reports that Instagram is still gathering feedback to see if the new ad arrangement has a positive effect.
