There has been so much panic around AI labels on Instagram and Facebook especially around Canva Background Remover so I want to clear up one important point.

Canva says its Background Remover does not add Canva’s AI-generated-content metadata to your design. It is an AI-assisted editing tool, but that is different from creating a brand-new image with generative AI.

Canva adds metadata labels when its generative AI creates something entirely new or substantially changes the original content. It also labels AI-created elements in its Library as “Made by Canva AI.”

This is where things can feel confusing: Meta may use its own file signals and disclosures when deciding whether to show AI info on an image, video or audio post. An AI label does not explain the degree of AI used, and it does not take away from the human creativity behind the photography, styling, strategy, copy or design.

So please do not panic if you have ever removed a background, tidied a photo or used an editing tool. The important question is whether AI has changed reality in a way that could mislead someone.

Do you use AI to help with your captions?

Have you seen an AI info label on one of your own posts?

Use AI to enhance & not take over….

I will keep breaking this down in plain English, because small businesses and creatives deserve clarity not more fear.

I do Instagram so you don’t have to

Just popping up to say hello and check in. 👋🏽
How are we all doing with the summer holidays? Happy to see some rain today?
I’d got quite used to living in Herts Del Sol ☀️🔥😂

If your content has been a little quieter lately, please do not panic. Sometimes keeping visible simply looks like showing your face, saying hi and reminding people that you are still here.

And there is quite a lot happening over on Instagram at the moment. They have just refreshed their wordmark for the first time in 10 years, it’s the writing at the top of the app, not the camera icon. It is a little reminder that even huge brands evolve when the time feels right.

Next Friday morning, I’ll be going live with Donna Talks Social to keep you in the know about what has changed on Instagram over the last few months, what actually matters for your business, and what you can safely ignore.

I’ll also be sharing a post very soon about AI content labels including why an AI label can sometimes appear after a small edit, such as using Canva’s Background Remover. It does not automatically mean your whole image was created by AI, but it is definitely something small businesses and creatives need to understand.

So, if your social media needs a little love, a little clarity or just someone to keep you up to date without making it all feel overwhelming, I’m here.

Save the date for Donna Talks Social next Friday morning and keep an eye out for the AI-label post.

ContentCreator InstagramUpdates

Have you noticed that Instagram has updated its wordmark?

After 10 years, the wording has had a refresh. The iconic camera image is still the same, it is the font that has changed.

It may seem like a small detail, but branding details matter. The way a name looks can affect how modern, recognisable and memorable a business feels.

What are your thoughts on it?
Do you think the R looks like a Z?
Do you prefer the old version, or do you think the update makes no real difference?

It got me thinking: when was the last time you looked at your own logo or branding?
Have you ever updated it?

A rebrand does not always mean starting from scratch. Sometimes it is simply about refining what is already there so it better reflects your business today, speaks to the right people and is easy to recognise wherever they find you.

The best time to refresh your branding is often when your business has evolved or perhaps your services, audience, values or goals have changed or when your current look no longer feels like you.
It’s important to make sure your business is recognised for the right reasons.

If Instagram were going to make a BIG change, what would you rather they had updated?

You know what no one talks about?

The time it takes to set up for a 10-second reel or take an insta worthy grid photo.

Moving things around.
Fixing the lighting.
Getting the best angle.
Pressing record/taking the pictures.
Checking your camera roll.
Then not liking any… AND starting again.

All while your to-do and life admin list is a whole side of a4 and the children in the background wanting your attention.

I’ve been there, especially the past 2 weeks .

Creating content for clients (which I LOVE), is easier, but when it comes to my own, my enthusiasm isn’t quite there. I’m a massive procrastinator.

I know many of you have been there too….

❥ You don’t have hours to film
❥ You don’t want to overthink every post
❥ You just want content that looks great and works

That’s where I come in.

What takes you an hour of frustration…
I can turn into content that actually connects.

If showing up online feels like too much right now, here’s your reminder you don’t have to do it alone and I can save you time and head space!

When your dress matches the seat perfectly, you have to take a pic for Insta., right?

Content is everywhere and you don’t need a fancy studio or hours of editing to prove it.
Just a decent phone in your pocket and your eyes open to the moments around you.

That’s the beauty of it.
Some of the best content is completely unplanned.

Where do you find your best content ideas?
I'd love to hear them

Week 1 of the school holidays: Complete! ✅ Only 5.2 more to go…

I absolutely love that I can work from anywhere (as long as the Wi-Fi and 5G are behaving 🤭). But the downside? Even with notifications muted, posts scheduled, and sleep mode on, I find it so hard to actually switch off. The FOMO is real!

In an ideal world, my office would be a sun lounger so I could top up the tan 😉, just with a little shade so I can see my screen and stop my laptop from melting! ☀️🌴

I’d love to know how you’re all doing! Have your usual working hours completely gone out the window? And how are you handling the quieter period while clients are away on holiday or busy juggling childcare?

If you have a public Instagram profile, go and check this setting right now. 🚨

Meta has just introduced MUSE, an AI generator that is using your public photos to create AI-generated content.
the settings?
They were automatically switched on. You were never asked.

But it gets worse.
The AI image generator inside the Meta AI app lets users @ mention any Instagram account, meaning someone can literally tag your profile and drop you into their AI-generated images. Without your knowledge. Without your permission.

The good news, if your account is private, you’re protected.
Muse can’t access your photos and will block anyone who tries to tag you.

But if your profile is public, you need to opt out yourself. It won’t be done for you.

Here’s how:
Settings
→ Activities
→ Sharing and Reuse
→ scroll to the bottom
→ toggle off Reels and Posts.

Done.

Share this with anyone you know who runs a public account or has kids in their photos, they need to know about this.

This time last week I was at Newmarket Races, handing out business cards, sipping champagne and calling it work. 🐎 🐴🥂

Was it a business expense? My accountant would say no. My content calendar would say absolutely yes.

Premier Enclosure ✅
New dress ✅
Professional updo (it was 30 degrees, okay) ✅
Business cards on the table ✅
Bets placed in the name of market research ✅

Thank you to the incredible for keeping my hair up and my personal brand intact in the heat 💖

If you’re a small business owner who’s ever tried to justify a fun day out as a networking event, this one’s for you. 😂
