Meta, the parent company of Facebook, is reportedly testing a cross-posting feature that would allow users to post content on both Facebook and its messaging app, Threads. This feature, already available for cross-posting from Facebook to Instagram, aims to make it easier for content creators to share their updates on multiple platforms. The test is limited to iOS and excludes the EU. This potential addition could boost Threads' user base and increase the number of posts available on the app, which already has over 130 million monthly active users. Additionally, Facebook is testing a "Write with AI" writing assistant for composing posts.

Instagram and Threads are reducing the amount of political content that shows up in users' feeds. They will limit the reach of political content from accounts that users do not follow. Meta, the parent company of these platforms, is making efforts to decrease the reach of news and political content across its platforms. Threads will host news content but will not amplify it. Facebook is also blocking news content in Canada due to a dispute over paying publishers for content. The definition of political content on Instagram is broad, encompassing anything related to laws, elections, or social topics.

Meta (formerly Facebook) is expanding its fact-checking program to the Threads platform ahead of the US and India general elections next year. Instagram head Adam Mosseri announced the move, stating that the company aims to allow fact-checking partners to review and rate misinformation on Threads independently. Meta recently provided users on Instagram and Facebook with more controls over content sensitivity and fact-checking. The company is extending these controls to Threads, allowing users to choose the default level of demotions for fact-checked content in their feed.
