    Connect deeper with this new Instagram trend: Trendships

    Life

    by Ruman Baig
    43 seconds ago

    Instagram has unveiled a new term, “Trendships,” to describe the unique social connections formed through Direct Messages (DMs). This emerging trend highlights how sharing memes, light-hearted content, and meaningful Reels has become a powerful tool for building and maintaining relationships.

    A New Era of Social Connection

    The rise of Instagram Reels has accelerated the growth of Trendships. People are increasingly using the platform to share relatable content with friends, family, and acquaintances. This simple act of sharing has the potential to foster deeper connections, express complex emotions, and bridge cultural divides.

    Nada Enan, Head of Communications, Middle East & North Africa, Meta, explained, “Trendships is not just about sharing popular content; it’s about creating a sense of community. People are using Instagram to exchange content that resonates with them, from humorous memes to motivational Reels. This redefines how we nurture intimate connections and exchange values in the digital age.”

    The Power of Sharing

    The sheer volume of Reels reshared daily underscores the significance of Trendships. With over 3.5 billion Reels reshared every day, it’s clear that people are actively using the platform to communicate and engage with their social circles.

    Instagram Creators Embrace the Trend

    To celebrate Trendships, Instagram is collaborating with content creators across the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa. Creators like Anas El Hajj, Azam Alawaidhi, and Amina Hussein are sharing their unique perspectives on the phenomenon, using anime, comics, sketches, and memes to explore the various facets of Trendships.

    The Future of Social Media

    Trendships represent a significant shift in how people use social media. By focusing on genuine connections and shared experiences, Instagram is redefining the role of social platforms in our daily lives. As the trend continues to evolve, we can expect to see even more innovative ways to connect and communicate through Instagram DMs.

    Emirati content creator Khalid Al Ameri is an avid storyteller.
    Having cultivated an impressive online following for himself over the years, Khalid Al Ameri has shared many important messages with his audience.
    Some of his most popular videos are about growing up in a multicultural household, his mother is from the UK and his father is Emirati, his son’s autism, sharing an insight into how the UAE handled the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Delving behind the lens of the camera, here’s a few facts you may not know about this hugely popular content creator.
    Khalid Al Ameri completed his MBA at Stanford University

    After having graduated from high school at the American International School in Abu Dhabi, Khalid, later on went to complete his MBA at Stanford University in Business Administration. However, he discovered his passions lay elsewhere in storytelling. Doing a complete 180 from his MBA, Khalid moved into the journalism field and eventually landed a role as CNN’s Middle Eastern Correspondent.
    He’s known for his selfless acts

    From volunteering in schools around the world as part of Dubai Cares’ imitative to performing good deeds around the country. Khalid is known for spreading positivity and awareness through his selfless acts, including earlier last year when he took a video on YouTube explaining the concept of a Balikbayan box, where several household items are sent back home on behalf of residents of the Philippines. He also gave his housekeeper, Leila, a surprise with the box and a ticket to visit her family.
    His goal through content creation is to bring people together

    Khalid is always spreading love and awareness about serious issues through his content. By also running a Facebook group entitled ‘Khalid’s World Group’, participating members are encouraged to share their experiences and see how they can help each other accordingly.
    Khalid Al Ameri has a Scottish mother

    Having grown up in a multicultural household, Khalid is half Emirati, half Scottish. Having grown up in the UAE, he sees himself as “100 per cent Emirati”.
    “My mother is British and I love her – however, I am 100 percent Emirati. It is all I have ever known; it’s the country I love and work for every day. So how different am I? I don’t think I’m that different at all.”
    He reached new heights in his career

    With a large demographic outside of the UAE, Khalid has garnered a massive following over the years. His comedic content, coupled with a social message is well appreciated. He recently crossed 4 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, which is a massive achievement for any content creator.
