Threads Introduces 'Use Media' Feature for Sharing Images and Videos

The new functionality allows users to reshare media with attribution to the original creator while excluding the original post's text.

Threads, Meta's microblogging app, has launched a 'Use Media' feature to reshare images and videos without including the original post's text.
Users can add their own commentary to the reshared media, which will display a watermark crediting the original creator in the top-left corner.
The feature aims to address complaints from creators about content being reposted without proper attribution, though some creators remain skeptical of its effectiveness.
Creators have the option to disable media reuse in the app's settings, providing control over how their content is shared by others.
The feature is currently rolling out to Threads users, with availability confirmed on iOS and expected soon for Android.
