Threads, the text-based social network from Facebook and Instagram owner Meta, has just added the one feature I wanted it to – and judging by my For You feed, I'm not the only person who's pleased. The new feature lives in your app's Settings menu and enables you to opt out of automatic post sharing. It was being rolled out over the weekend so if you don't already have it, it will be along shortly.
Automatic post sharing, it's fair to say, wasn't universally popular. The feature, which you originally couldn't opt out of, took posts you'd made on Threads and shared them with other people on Facebook and Instagram.
