Summary
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that Threads will begin testing a direct messaging (DM) system, allowing users to send DMs without leaving the platform, starting in Hong Kong, Thailand, and Argentina. The new feature will create a separate inbox for Threads messages, instead of linking to users’ Instagram inboxes, accessible via an envelope icon on the app’s taskbar. This update, driven by user demand for private messaging, aims to facilitate message management, especially for businesses and content creators, and enhance the overall Threads experience.
