The episode begins with the biggest news of the week – Instagram and the controversy surrounding the changes to the app. On our Wednesday show, we discussed Instagram head Adam Mosseri’s response to criticism of the changes and the overall direction the app is taking to make it feel like a competitor to TikTok. The following day, Instagram reversed the changes, saying Mosseri said, “We definitely need to take a big step and regroup.” Today’s episode has the full story.
The rest of the show focuses on the quarterly earnings of some of the biggest tech companies — Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Spotify and Comcast — and what that data could mean for their future products.
