Threads is getting an edit button free of cost

Meta is releasing an edit button and 'Voice Threads' for its X comPetitor, Threads. According to CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, the edit feature will enable users to edit their posts five minutes after publishing, and unlike X, the feature is free to use.

Posts that have been edited will be indicated with a small icon, but there won't be any edit History to revise and correct. Twitter launched the edit feature on its premium subscription in October 2022 just before Elon Musk took over the company.

Additionally, the new 'Voice Threads' will help users make a voice post, with an automatic transcription added to the post. Users will just have to tap the microphone icon to begin recording a post, which can then be played alongside a highlighted transcript of the content.

Meta has been actively working to add new features to its platform, Threads, since its launcg this summer. The social site already has a chronological following feed, web client, and search bar for posts.
