I stay updated by spending time daily on both platforms by scrolling through the FYP on TikTok and Explore on Instagram to spot what's gaining traction. I also follow trend-focused accounts and creators in multiple niches, and I'm part of several social media communities where people share viral content early. I use tools like TikTok's Trending page and track hashtags to see what's rising before it peaks. On top of that, I follow marketing newsletters and YouTube channels that break down algorithm changes and content strategies weekly.
