Overview
- Meta confirmed to TechCrunch that it is testing the feature and plans to bring it to more users.
- A preview of the attached text appears in a gray box that opens into a scrollable view on mobile and a dedicated window on the web.
- The test supports text only with basic formatting options such as bold, italics and underline, and it does not currently allow embedded media or links.
- The capability is visible to all viewers and is available to users in the test, contrasting with X’s Articles, which are limited to paying subscribers.
- Screenshots suggest posts with text attachments cannot be shared to fediverse services yet, raising questions about interoperability with ActivityPub platforms like Mastodon.
