San Francisco, February 22: Meta has started testing a cross-posting feature that would allow users to post from Facebook to Threads. It's a same feature that users have been using for a long time to post Stories and Reels on both Facebook and Instagram at the same time.

The tech giant confirmed about the test to TechCrunch, saying that it is limited to iOS and does not include the European Union (EU). The feature will let users share both text and link posts 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. Meta Partners MCA To Launch Fact-Checking Helpline on WhatsApp in India To Combat Media Generated Using Artificial Intelligence.

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. Samsung Brings Galaxy AI Features on More Devices With New ‘One UI 6.1’ Software Update.
