Threads is rolling out a new feature that lets you share someone’s photos and videos without including the original post. You’ll be able to add your own text alongside the reshared media, which will include a credit to the creator, according to Instagram head Adam Mosseri.

“This is a quick, easy way to add your creative takes to trending images and clips without quote posting,” Mosseri says. The original poster’s username will appear in the top left corner of the photo or video, with a repost counter in the lower left. Threads spokesperson Alec Booker tells The Verge that tapping on the username will show a list of posts using the media, with the original post appearing at the top.

Besides making it a little cleaner to reshare media, the feature is likely designed to help cut down on complaints about users reposting content without credit. Creators will receive a notification when their posts are reused, and will also have the ability to turn resharing off from their account settings.

To repost an image or video on Threads, you can long-press the media (or the repost button) and select use media. From there, you can add your own text and share the post. X has a similar option, though only for videos, which includes a credit beneath the video and a link to the original post.

Paul Kafasis: In 2020, the disaster foreshadowed literally one sentence ago struck. Beta versions of MacOS 11 broke ACE, our then-current audio capture technology, and the damage looked permanent. When we spoke briefly to Apple during WWDC 2020, our appeals for assistance were flatly rejected.[…]With this in mind, we engaged in further discussions with the […]
