Meta introduced a new feature to Threads that allows users to attach up to 10,000 characters of text to a single post. The move aims to eliminate the need for users to share screenshots of long-form text, such as book excerpts, newsletters, or podcast transcripts, when the standard 500-character limit falls short.

If you are one of those users who have been waiting years for Instagram to optimize its app for the iPad, then your wait is over. The Meta-owned social media app said it has "taken the time to design an experience that optimizes your [favourite] parts of Instagram for a bigger screen."
As GSMArena pointed out, it doesn't seem like the feed is one of those favourite parts, as the content on your feed still shows up in the middle of the tablet with tons of space on either side.

If you're an Instagram user with 100,000 followers or more, the Meta-owned app is adding more features to your direct messages to make them easier to manage. These options made their way to creator and verified accounts last November, but they are rolling out to more users now (including both professional and personal accounts).
Some of the features include additional filters to help you sort through your DMs. The app also allows you to create shortcuts by letting you rearrange the filters you know you'll want to access quickly. You can also create folders to better manage the messages that come in.

After releasing a direct messaging option on Threads, Meta is reportedly adding more features to its chat option. App researcher Alessandro Paluzzi spotted options to add stickers, GIFs, and images. There's also the possibility of an edit and unsend option, alongside group chats. If you use Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp, these features will be familiar to you.
