Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced today that Threads, Instagram’s Twitter-like app, is rolling out an edit button.
However, Threads does not show the edit history of a post, which is something that X offers in order to allow for transparency while also preventing misinformation.
TechCrunch has reached out to Meta to see if the company plans to add a edit history function.
Today’s announcement comes as Threads is said to be preparing to launch a Trends feature in an effort to better compete with X.
The screenshot shows a numbered list of trending topics, along with information about how many “threads” were actively discussing each item.
It also does not appear to have a list of trends that are personalized like X’s “For You.” Despite this, the addition would be another step toward making Threads more competitive with X.

Are we supposed to cheer?
The bar has been lowered significantly after the Twitter takeover.
I think that last part is mostly meant as a criticism to Twitter, or x, and not necessarily to make us cheer. Either way, you won’t catch me cheering about any meta product.
Don’t care, don’t want to hear about Threads.
