Meta confirms testing after some Instagram users have reported seeing a button that allows them to cross-post photos from Instagram to Threads. However, sharing Reels posts to Threads is not supported yet.
Posts that are cross-posted from Instagram to Threads will carry over the caption of the image as text in Threads. Any hashtags will just appear as regular text and not as a topic in the Threads system.
The push for Threads through Meta’s established market platforms has been ongoing, from the recommended posts on Facebook to testing cross-posting on multiple platforms within Instagram being the latest push.

TLDR:
Meta is testing cross-posting from Instagram to Threads, with captions being carried over as text. Hashtags will not be turned into topics in Threads. This move is part of Meta’s broader push for Threads across different platforms.
