Threads now lets you share posts directly to Instagram DMs
Meta's updates to Threads to challenge Elon Musk's X (rebranded Twitter) and improve user engagement.
Key points:
- Meta added the Send on Instagram option, allowing Threads users to publish their posts directly to Instagram DMs.
- The platform introduced custom alt text for photos and videos, improving accessibility for users.
- Meta made it easier to tag profiles in Threads posts and verify identity on fediverse platforms like Mastodon.
