Threads Markup Feature Rollout Expands Widely

Until now, Threads s had to scroll through a person's timeline to see all the photos and videos they have posted. Posts with media were shown along with text-only posts, making it difficult to look for specific posts. With the latest update, s will now see all posts with media shared by a in reverse chronological order.

The arrival of the dedicated media tab on Threads was announced by Instagram head Adam Mosseri, who called the feature a “a long overdue request from the community.” He also revealed that the platform will now allow s to tag s while sharing images on the platform. This is the same photo tagging functionality that is available on Instagram.

A third feature is on its way to Threads s, a markup tool that allows s to emphasise parts of another 's post while sharing it on the platform. When s repost something, they can now use the new markup took that allows them to use a virtual highlighter on parts of the original post. This feature was announced earlier this month, and it is now rolling out widely.

Gadgets 360 staff were able to confirm that the new media tab was visible on the latest version of Threads for iOS and Android. The new markup tool is also available, and allows s to draw using a pencil, highlighter, and an 'arrow' tool. On the other hand, it appears that the photo tagging functionality is still rolling out to s, and this could be taking place in a phased manner.
