2026 Instagram Predictions

Get ready, friend—2026 is right around the corner, and big shifts are coming to Instagram, social strategy, and the way businesses grow online. In this episode, I pull out her crystal ball and share my top predictions for the year ahead: from the rise of storytelling content and search-driven discovery to live selling, community-building, in-person events, and the continued surge of carousels and long-form content. I also break down what you should be doing now—tightening your systems, getting serious about content strategy, leaning into Stories, using AI the right way, and finally letting go of "the way Instagram used to be."
