Alessandro Paluzzi, who often reverse-engineers Meta’s social media apps to find upcoming features, said Instagram may roll out a way to share comments on other Instagram posts to Threads.
Paluzzi shared an image showing that when commenting on an Instagram post, a new drop-down menu may appear, allowing users to choose to share the comment only to Instagram or “also share on Threads.”
Meta has made some moves in the past to integrate Threads with its other platforms, such as showing Threads posts on Instagram or Facebook (later allowing users to opt out). This short-messaging social network similar to Twitter also lacks its own DMs, but users can still receive or send messages through Instagram.
Of course, the bigger effort is Meta’s slow work integrating Threads with fediverse. The company’s measures include being able to actually look Responses from Federation Universe under their post and more recently under other people’s posts.
