Finally, you can now edit your post on Threads app.
Threads is rolling out an edit option, which will allow you to edit your post for up to five minutes after publishing.
As you can see in the example below, the new “Edit” option is accessible via the three dot “More” menu at the top right of your Thread. You’ll see a timer counting down your five minutes to update your post, which will help to account for mistakes and errors that you notice after uploading.
Why is there a 5 minute time limit to edit your post on Threads?
As with Twitter, there’s long been a resistance to providing full editing capacity to short-form posts, due to the way that their meaning can be drastically altered by even minor changes. The main concern is that people could update viral posts behind time, which have been re-posted and amplified by others, to something completely different, giving the impression that those users are endorsing something that they’re not.
After a thread has been edited, you’ll see a new edited icon up beside the timestamp. Tap on that and you’ll get a basic “This post has been edited” pop-up message, but no history or access to previous versions.
On another front, Threads is also rolling out audio messages, which it’s calling “Voice Threads”. As you can see in this example below, Voice Threads will appear as a soundwave looking attachment within a Thread. Tap on the play button and you’ll be able to hear the audio snippet left by that user.
Useful additions to the Threads App but, still a long way to go.
