User @whimchic of Threads has observed that Facebook has started testing cross-platform posting, allowing users to choose to post on Facebook and have it automatically post on their connected Threads account, similar to how users can choose to have Facebook posts also posted on Instagram.
Meta representatives have confirmed this test, stating that it is limited to a small group of users and only affects posts from the iOS app, with no impact on users in the EU where privacy regulations are stricter. Users are able to share posts to Threads, including both text and links.
Cross-platform posting could be a valuable tool to increase Threads’ popularity, as it allows administrators to post across multiple platforms. This builds on the existing user bases of Facebook and Instagram.
Additionally, @whimchic has discovered another feature on Facebook for iOS, the “Write with AI” button, which can assist in drafting content before posting, although the specific functionality has not been detailed.
