While the bookmarking icon is within easy reach on X at the bottom of the post, the new feature on Threads is a bit more hidden.
That’s because Instagram is rolling out new Threads features in phases over time, not to all of the Threads user base at once.
Bookmarks aren’t the only new feature being spotted by Threads users.
Another Threads user noticed they’ve now begun to receive notifications from Threads and Facebook in their Instagram notifications.
In another effort to grow its app, Threads also began testing a cross-posting feature from Facebook to Threads, the company confirmed last week.

The company has been spotted testing a cross-posting feature that would allow Facebook users to post to both platforms at the same time, using the same feature that was originally available for cross-posting from Facebook to Instagram.
The feature will allow users to share both text and link posts from Facebook to Threads, a rep for Meta said.
Even if only a sliver of those on Facebook used the cross-posting feature for Threads, it could still dramatically increase the number of posts available on the app.
With last summer’s launch of its Twitter/X competitor, Threads, the company leveraged its other, larger social networks to rapidly grow the new service’s user base.
The test of the Facebook cross-posting feature was recently spotted in the wild on Facebook’s iOS app, as in this example here shared by Threads user @whimchic (Ljiljana Grujicic).

BeReal, a rising social media app that emphasizes authenticity, is making its first outreach to brands and celebrities.
Over the last year, BeReal has rolled out a number of new features like groups, mentions, multiple posts per day, pinned posts and a “friends of friends” feed.
But the problem with BeReal, and its commitment to fostering existing friendships, is that it can’t make money.
Like any other user on BeReal, they will have to post on time at the spur of the moment.
Well, if we’re about to start seeing BeReal posts from brands, may we humbly nominate the Duolingo Owl for early access?

A bug on X, formerly Twitter, was causing numerous posts over the weekend to be flagged as “Sensitive Media,” thwarting the company’s own attempts to make its platform more approachable to advertisers.
Today, a bug in our system caused X to incorrectly label numerous posts as Sensitive Media.
— Safety (@Safety) January 21, 2024“Sensitive media” is a label X uses to denote content that others may not wish to see, like violence or nudity.
X asks its users who want to regularly post such items, to adjust their media settings to appropriately mark their images.
This is being fixed.” An hour later, he reposted the message from the X safety team which referred to the issue as a bug.

Instagram has a feature where you can add music directly to your posts — a popular option among users who want to add life to their content and show off their musical taste.
Then, you click on the music note icon at the top of the editing screen, which brings you to Instagram’s music library of over 12,000 songs.
Previously only available on Stories and Reels, Instagram expanded its music feature in 2022 to bring the capability to image posts.
However, Instagram has yet to support music on carousels with videos.
The app is also reportedly experimenting with music on profiles — a nod to the MySpace era.

Threads is finally available to users in the EUFive months after its launch in July, Meta’s social network Threads is now finally available to people living in the European Union.
At launch, the company restricted access to the new social network in the EU to become compliant with various rules of the bloc.
In July, days after Threads’ launch, Meta had to take “additional” steps to prevent EU-based users from using a VPN to access the social network.
The official launch comes after the Wall Street Journal’s report last month indicated that Meta planned to launch Threads in the EU in December.
The social network’s launch in the EU will help the company cross that mark.

Mark Zuckerberg said today that Meta has started testing a feature to show Threads posts on Mastodon and other AcitivityPub protocol supported networks.
“Making Threads interoperable will give people more choice over how they interact and it will help content reach more people.
I’m pretty optimistic about this,” Zuckerberg said in a post.
