Meta, under the leadership of CEO Mark Zuckerberg, is introducing two significant features for its Threads platform. These features are aimed at enhancing the experience of its growing social network. Importantly, unlike Meta's competitor, X (formerly Twitter), users will not have to pay a subscription fee to edit their posts within five minutes of publication.
- Edit Feature: Meta is rolling out an edit feature, allowing users to make changes to their posts for up to five minutes after they're published. Edited posts will be marked with a small icon next to the timestamp. However, there won't be an edit history, a feature that X still retains over Threads.
- Voice Threads: Another notable addition is "Voice Threads." Users can now create voice posts within the Threads platform. When drafting a post on the iOS app, users can access a recording interface and record their voice. The text of what is said is highlighted in the post as the voice plays. This feature adds a new dimension to communication on Threads.
Meta is making strides in adding features to Threads, which was launched in the summer. These include a chronological following feed, a web client, and the ability to search for posts.
It's worth noting that these updates reflect Meta's ongoing efforts to enhance the user experience on Threads, and they come as a response to the evolving landscape of social media and user expectations. The ability to edit posts and the introduction of voice posts offer new avenues for expression and engagement within the platform.
