A short digest for anyone managing ad budgets and trying to stay ahead of changes that actually move the needle.

The quick version: Messenger Inbox is gone, Threads is accelerating, Google is rolling out AI driven formats, and TikTok improved its algorithms. If your media plan has not been refreshed in a while, it is time. And if you juggle multiple platforms and are tired of hopping between ad managers, the latest Aitarget updates can save hours a week.

Meta: Messenger Inbox is officially gone

What happened: On November 11, Meta shut down Messenger Inbox ads. If you used it for leads or retargeting, you will need to shift that spend elsewhere.

Where to move budget: Feeds, Stories, and Reels remain the core placements. It is also worth testing WhatsApp, Instagram Direct, and Threads. Threads now supports DoubleVerify and IAS brand safety checks, plus new 4:5 creative formats. Brands that hesitated earlier now have a safer window to test the platform.

GA4 integration: Meta now sends campaign costs to GA4 automatically. No more manual spreadsheets. Cross channel ROAS can be calculated without extra work.

Automation: New campaigns default to automated setups like Advantage+ Leads. Audience selection is stronger, manual tweaks matter less, and scaling is more stable. You hand more control to AI, but you get steadier performance in return.

TikTok: stronger automation and creative intelligence

TikTok has rolled out upgrades to its automation stack. The full details are still under wraps but we know this: creative recommendations powered by AI are improving, and conversion performance is trending up.

What it means: The algorithm delivers better results even with small budgets. TikTok now suggests which creative is likely to work and optimizes videos for conversions automatically.

Google: AI is moving to the center of Ads

Google is pushing deeper into AI across ads. Expect more automation, creative optimization tools, and dynamic templates that make ad creation faster and less manual.

AI search: Google is reshaping search into a multimodal, AI driven experience using voice, images, and chat. Ads are not going anywhere. New formats designed for these AI style queries are already in the works.

What to consider: Start building creatives and landing pages that make sense in an “AI consultation” flow. User behavior is shifting, and ad experiences need to match it.

Telegram: quiet month

No meaningful advertising updates from Telegram in November. Formats and rules remain unchanged.

Three trends that defined November

Automation is replacing manual campaign management. Meta, TikTok, and Google are all leaning into AI optimization. Less micromanagement, more algorithmic guidance.
Placement strategies are shifting. Messenger Inbox is gone. Threads is growing fast. Google is preparing new AI search ad formats. Media plans need a refresh.
Cross channel analytics is no longer optional. With Meta now feeding spend into GA4 and dashboards going multichannel, you cannot measure real ROAS without unified reporting.

Aitarget updates

As platforms shift toward automation, Aitarget has expanded its tools to give marketers more control over analytics and account operations.

1. Updated Telegram channel catalog

TGinsider now includes fresh data for Uzbekistan: audience trends, channel topics, and traffic quality. Finding strong Telegram channels now takes minutes, not hours.

Why it matters: Sourcing quality Telegram inventory has always been difficult. This streamlines planning and reduces the risk of low quality placements.

2. Google Ads added to Aitarget analytics

Google Ads is now fully integrated alongside Meta and TikTok. All spend and results live in one dashboard. No switching accounts. No comparing numbers across platforms.

Why it matters: Once you have more than three traffic sources, multi interface comparisons slow everything down. Budget decisions are now cleaner and faster.

3. Expanded Google Ads API

Designed for agencies and developers building automation or BI tools. The new API lets you:

create Google Ads accounts programmatically
connect client accounts
top up balances and issue refunds
receive webhooks for account and lead form changes

Why it matters: Agencies can scale their Google Ads operations without adding more manual overhead. Everything lives in one technical ecosystem.

The bottom line

Meta, TikTok, and Google are all pushing deeper into AI driven optimization. Performance now depends less on manual tweaking and more on data quality, clean integrations, and unified analytics.

Aitarget’s upgrades in analytics, API tooling, and Telegram channel insights create a single environment for managing budgets and channels. With Google Ads support added, you can scale campaigns without adding more staff or more manual work.
