Threads adds a new function with which users can become a little more creative when remixing posts from other people. The app now has a “Markup” .
Markup skills are displayed in the menu for specifying and repetition. Instead of simply quoting a contribution, a machining tool is started in which you can add highlights, arrows or doodles on a screenshot of the contribution. Mosseri said that the function was “so that you add your creative attitude” to posts, but the tools are quite limited for the time being. You can only add yellow highlights or red arrows and doodles, although Mosseri said that Meta would “soon”.
A threads spokesman confirms that the function works similarly to the quote by the fact that the original user is notified when someone marks their contribution. You can also use the setting “Whoever answers and cite” to deactivate markups in your own articles.
The app also makes two other functions that are already previewing. And . The functions are likely to be particularly useful for brands, creators and others who manage a professional presence on the website, which so far has not been missing many of the other platforms of meta platforms from META. Both could also be useful if Meta should start To the threads, a movement that is reported to be in the works for the beginning of 2025.
