Continue to compete with X: Zuckerberg's Threads launches time-limited editing posts, which can be used for free

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Alejandro86 for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, October 13 (Xinhua)-- in the early hours of this morning, Threads, which is regarded as the "archrival" of Zuckerberg's X platform (formerly Twitter), announced that it will now launch the editing post function for all users.

At present, this function allows users to edit and modify the content within 5 minutes of posting. The modified post will be marked with the word "edited", but the editing record cannot be viewed for the time being.

By contrast, the editing function that Twitter launched last year is only available to users who subscribe to Twitter Blue. Users can edit and modify the content within 30 minutes of posting, up to five times, allowing visitors to view editing records.

In addition, Threads also announced a new "voice" feature for users, which allows users to add audio clips to their posts. The user clicks the appropriate "microphone" button to record the sound, which can then be sent out in the form of a post.

In addition, the feature also supports "voice to text". The recorded voice is accompanied by a piece of automatically generated text and supports self-editing.

CTOnews.com has previously reported that Meta intends to continue to fight the X platform by launching a "hot trend" feature similar to the X platform for Threads in the near future. An Threads employee accidentally leaked the update in a screenshot released over the weekend, showing a numbered list of hot topics and how many "threads" are actively discussing each topic.

Although the above-mentioned features have been launched or planned to take a more competitive step, Threads still faces multiple challenges from the X platform.
