Threads implements a button to edit posts that does not require a subscription

Threadsthe social network developed by Instagram, has implemented a button to edit posts at no additional cost to its users, unlike what happens in its main competitor, X (formerly Twitter), which offers this service upon subscription to the Premium service.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced the availability of the editing tool through his own Threads profile, where he also commented that the rollout of voice posts has begun this Thursday.

Until now, if a user wanted to modify something they had written and published, they had to delete it, as happens in the free version of the main competitor of this social network, X.

Unlike this platform, which requires paying a subscription to X Premium to edit ‘posts’ shared in a period of 60 minutesThreads has now included a free editing option.

The period allowed to delete the Threads publication is also different, since this platform only allows it in the first five minutes after having published it, as pointed out by 9to5Google.

Along with the edit button Threads has launched the ‘Voice Threads’ feature, where users can attach an audio clip to a post. For the moment and just like the editing optionhas only reached a few users, including The Verge senior editor Tom Warren and editor of the same medium Jay Peters.

Instagram launched Threads (Threads, in Spanish) last July, when it indicated that it was a ‘microblogging’ application designed to “share ideas and trends with text.”

This service, which offers an interface very similar to that of X, is available on iOS, Android and the web in more than one hundred countries around the world. However, it has not yet arrived in Europe due to the way it manages user data.

For its operation, Threads requires users to register with their Instagram account and imports the data from this other platformincluding those related to behavior and advertising, which is not permitted under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union.
