1- Stories you need to “unlock”

On Instagram, Stories have gained a new trick: the “Reveal” sticker. Want to see what’s behind it? Answer a question or send a message. Well, some creators have found that this increases engagement by up to 30%. Can you imagine having to “pay” with a reply to see a photo of your friend’s lunch?

2- X: where news is born in minutes

Forget newspapers – on X, posts about events like eclipses or political speeches are exploding with millions of views in less than an hour. By 2025, the platform has become the thermometer of the planet, and the most curious thing? Many users say they read opinions before the facts!

3- Meta went to Texas – and nobody really understood

Meta, the owner of Facebook and Instagram, has moved part of its staff to Texas. Some say it’s for economic reasons, others swear it’s political. The curious fact? Moderators there are letting through more questionable memes than ever before – could the Texas heat have softened the filters?

4- Short Reels are the kings of Instagram

Blink and you’ll miss it: videos that are 15 seconds or less are dominating Instagram by 2025. What’s interesting? They’re 50% more likely to go viral than longer videos. It seems like we’re getting shorter and shorter on our patience to scroll through our feeds!

5- Science has become a meme – and everyone loves it

Have you ever seen a meme explaining black holes or global warming? On X and Instagram, science pages are booming by mixing humor with facts. The curious result: some have doubled in size in 2024 just because of clever jokes. Who would have thought that learning could be so much fun?

6- Facebook without brakes: goodbye, fact checking

Meta finally stopped independent fact-checking on Facebook and Instagram in 2025, relying on users to report fake news. What happened? A 20% increase in controversial posts in the first few weeks. Now, the feed is more chaotic — and curiously more addictive.

7- AI profiles that fool even the smart ones

On X, there are profiles that look human, but are pure code. These artificial intelligence bots are posting things so realistic that they already have more followers than many real people. Here's a scary curiosity: have you ever interacted with one without knowing it?

8- Secret Instagram Notes

Instagram “Notes,” those short messages in the DMs tab, became a craze among teenagers in 2025. What’s interesting? They’re using them as a public-private diary, posting indirect messages and rants that don’t end up on the feed. It’s almost like Twitter in disguise!

9- Brazil, the country of infinite audios

Everyone knows that Brazilians love audio messages on WhatsApp, but Facebook Messenger has also joined in. In 2025, 60% of messages exchanged on Messenger here will be voice messages – and some people are sending real 10-minute podcasts. Silence? Not here!

10- The #DigitalReset paradox

The hashtag #DigitalReset is one of the most popular on X and Instagram, used by those who want to “detox” from social media. The ironic curiosity? These people post about the detox while they are online, and followers love to enjoy the contradiction.
