Threads is adding location sharing to posts

Threads seems to be rolling out a new location tagging feature that allows users to add a location to their posts.

According to an in-app disclaimer from Meta, the company plans to use location sharing to better customize Threads by showing “personalized content” about places nearby. The change could help improve Threads’ search functionality, which still often falls short, and make the app slightly more useful for following breaking news and other timely events. Meta didn’t immediately respond to questions about the feature, but the company appears to still be rolling it out.
