In a significant move towards enhancing the platform, Meta has announced testing of a new feature on Threads that makes it easy to share long-form text on the social network.
The Menlo Park-based social media giant revealed that the feature allows users to attach a block of text to a post rather than creating a thread of several different posts when looking to share more in-depth thoughts and ideas.
App researcher Radu Oncescu first spotted the new “text attachment” feature on iOS. According to the app’s description of the new feature, it’s designed to let users “attach longer text and get creative with styling tools to share deeper thoughts, news snippets, book excerpts, and more.”
Moreover, the feature gets rid of the need for workarounds when looking to share text that goes beyond the word limit for posts, such as sharing a screenshot of a block of text in your phone’s Notes app.
It is worth noting that Meta plans to bring the long-form text feature to wider users in the future.
Support for long-form posts is the latest addition among a series of new features Threads has introduced over the past year, including DMs, fediverse integrations, custom feeds, artificial intelligence (AI) enhancements, and more.
According to an earlier statement by former CEO Linda Yaccarino, Threads recently topped 400 million monthly active users just two years after its launch.
