April 2026 release roundup

YouTube views & estimated reach

YouTube has updated how they count video plays — and CreatorIQ now reflects that change. Your YouTube data matches what you see on the platform, and you can now aggregate YouTube Views alongside TikTok and Instagram for a single, unified performance number.

Better Instagram Stories estimates when likes are hidden

When creators hide their likes on Instagram, it throws off the engagement signals our model relies on to estimate Story views and EMV. We've expanded our follower-based fallback model to cover these accounts — so the numbers you see are more accurate, even when engagement data is incomplete.

Get Latest Posts on demand in Campaigns

Coming on May 6th, you'll be able to pull the latest posts and performance metrics on demand — no more waiting up to 8 hours for a scheduled sync. Hit the new “Fetch Latest Posts” button and have fresh data in your campaign within 30 minutes

View and edit creator details within Messaging

You can now see a creator's email address and jump to their full profile without ever leaving the messaging module. This is a small change that keeps you moving without disrupting your workflow and focus

Payments Division Support

Get the flexibility to manage payouts the way your organization actually works. You can now configure payment accounts across Partner, Division, and Sub-Division levels with settings that automatically inherit down, and the ability to override where needed.
