Threads tests the ability to save posts as it continues to compete with X

Instagram Threads is getting a highly requested feature that puts it in closer competition with X/Twitter. The text-based social networking app is Instagram Threads is experimenting with the ability to save posts as it competes with X and other rivals.

Instagram head Adam Mosseri announced the feature in a Threads post on Wednesday, noting that the company just started the limited test. We’re not sure why Threads decided to hide the feature in the “More Options” menu since Instagram has its bookmarks icon easily accessible next to the like, comment, and share buttons. Since the debut of Threads last year, the app has continuously rolled out new features to appeal to users and take on rivals like X, Bluesky, Mastodon, Nostr, Post and Spill.
