Okay, this is probably one of those “just because you can, doesn’t mean that you should” updates. But as reported by TechCrunch, you are now able to cross-post from both Instagram and Facebook to Threads, so you can effectively amplify your updates across all three apps at once.
As you can see in these images, now, the option to crosspost to Threads is available within your Facebook and IG composer settings.
Meta’s been testing out Threads crossposting, in various forms, over the last few months, and now, it’s available to all users, though you have to proactively switch it on within your post settings.
A few notes:
You can’t crosspost Reels at this stage
You can activate auto-sharing to Threads for all of your IG posts
You can’t cross-post Facebook videos, only text and link posts
When you crosspost from IG, the post caption becomes text for the Threads post, and hashtags are converted into plain text
