The Future Of Social Media | 2026 Trends You NEED To Know - 863

In this episode, Brock Johnson breaks down the biggest social media trends coming in 2026 and what creators and business owners need to know to stay ahead. He’ll discuss the rise and fall of AI clones, the growing importance of in-person events, and how authenticity is reshaping the digital space.

Brock also covers the “no niche” approach to growth, major algorithm changes, and new Instagram updates — including the removal of Highlights, the addition of the Friends tab, and new profile layouts. Finally, we’ll look at trends like personal and group challenges, the return of carousels, and why creators are moving toward face-to-face and community-driven content.
