Meta’s Threads confirms a MAJOR new feature – and you don’t have to pay for it like you do on Twitter!

Despite only launching in July, Meta’s Threads is already the closest competitor and most likely competitor to Rape X (formerly Twitter).

Now, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, the parent company of Threads, has revealed two major new features.

“Introducing today’s editorial and audio topics.” ‘Enjoy!’ Zuckerberg posted on threads.

Best of all, the option to edit themes is completely free for all users.

In contrast, in rival app X, the option to edit posts is limited to users who pay £11 per month in the UK or $8 per month in the US for Twitter Blue.

To edit a post in Topics, simply click on the three dots that appear in the top right corner of your post and then click “Edit.”

However, there is an important caveat – this will only be an option within five minutes of publishing.

Once you edit a post, Threads will add an icon next to the timestamp to show that it has been edited.

Meanwhile, the new Voice Threads feature lets you “tell a story in a richer way,” according to Adam Mosseri, Instagram CEO.

In a video posted to his Instagram account, Mosseri explained: “When you go to Composer to write a new theme, you’ll have a new microphone icon there and you can actually record a voice note to add more texture to anything.” is that you participate.

“And we’ll transcribe that voice note for you, so your followers can read or listen to your story, whatever they choose.”

Threads fans have welcomed the new features, with one calling them a “game changer.”

Responding to Mosseri, one user wrote: “Awesome! I love these new features! Great job @mosseri,” while another said: “Great additions!”

Meanwhile, one user said in response to Zuckerberg: “I broke up with Twitter yesterday.” Especially since Threads is constantly improving, why not. Goodbye Felicia.

Threads was released in July by Meta, which also owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The app – closely related to Instagram – allows users to share text posts up to 500 characters long, as well as links, photos and five-minute videos.

While Instagram is primarily used for photos and videos, Threads is for “sharing text updates and joining public conversations,” according to Meta.

The user interface is strongly reminiscent of X – with a homepage that displays a constant feed of new posts from other users.

Meanwhile, a person’s “posts” on threads are listed on their profile page, just below their username, photo, and followers.

The themes are free, although users can get a blue tick next to their name by paying £10 a month for the Meta Verified subscription service.
