San Francisco: Meta has begun testing a cross-posting feature, which will allow users to publish from Facebook to Threads.
It's the same tool that people have used for years to simultaneously upload Stories and Reels on Facebook and Instagram.
The tech giant confirmed the test to TechCrunch, stating that it is limited to iOS and does not involve the European Union. The function allows users to share both text and link postings from Facebook to Threads.
The addition of this feature could simplify the process for content creators who frequently post photos or other media with text updates.
In 2021, Facebook launched the capability to cross-post to Instagram, after the previous ability to cross-post Stories across the two platforms.
Meanwhile, Meta Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerburg has announced that the company is testing a new "trending topics" feature on Threads that will allow users to see what kinds of conversations are trending on the platform.
The company is initially rolling out the test for users in the US and will roll out in more countries and languages once it is ready.
"Rolling out a small test of today's top topics on Threads in the US. We'll roll it out in more countries and languages once we get it tuned up," Zuckerberg said in a Threads post.
