Meta's Threads to introduce free post editing feature: Here's all you need to know

India TV News  

Social media platform Meta is reportedly exploring the option to allow users to edit their posts within a 5-minute window after publishing. In contrast, Meta's Threads is anticipated to provide this editing feature free of charge to all users. In a related development, Meta is also said to be working on a feature that would allow Threads users to delete their profile without affecting their Instagram account. According to Paluzzi, if users choose to delete their Threads profile, they would need to wait for a 120-day period before rejoining Threads with the same Instagram account. If implemented, this change could address concerns raised by users who have criticised Meta for not offering the option to delete their Threads profile independently of their Instagram profile.
