Yarns test a way to share long -form text on the platform

Threads is testing a new feature that facilitates long -forming text sharing on the social network, Meta confirmed to TechCrunch on Thursday. The function allows users to attach a text block to a post instead of creating a thread with different positions when they want to share more in -depth thoughts and ideas.

Application researcher Radu Oncescu First identified the new “attached text” function on iOS and shared a screenshot. According to the description of the new application function, it is designed to allow users to “attach the largest text and become creative with style tools to share deeper thoughts, news quotes, books excerpts and much more”.

The ability to share high -form content could help the topics maintain creators and writers who want more distribution for articles that will otherwise be published on blogs or newsletters such as Escatack. The feature is also relieved of the need for solutions when you are looking for a text that exceeds the word limit for posts, such as sharing a text block in your phone notes app.

Southern user Robert P. Nickson He shared a post using the feature to show what looks like viewers. An excerpt of long -formed text appears in a gray frame in the suspension, which people can then click to read and move to full content.

Threads Competitor X already offers a way for users Share the long -made content on the platform with “articles”. While x is available only for premium subscribers, yarn operation is accessible to everyone, but this could change in the future.

In addition, yarns only allow users to share text, while X allows people to incorporate images and videos. Given that the feature is still in the test phase, it is likely that the threads could add support for multimedia in the future.

Meta says she plans to bring it to more users in the future.

Support for high -form positions is the latest addition between a series of new features it has introduced last year, including DMS, Fediverse Integations, Custom Feeds, AI improvements and much more.

The yarns recently exceeded 400 million monthly active users just two years after its release. X, on the other hand, has a north of 600 million monthly active users, according to In previous statements by former Managing Director Linda Yaccarino.
