Threads ‘Use Media’ Update: How to Reshare Content with Creator Credits

• The new ‘Use Media’ feature on Threads lets users share photos and videos.
• This feature makes it easier for creators to collaborate and ensures they get proper recognition for their work.
• Threads is focusing on building a supportive and respectful space for creators to share their content.

Until now, there was no good way to reshare content on Threads. Meta owned Threads has finally rolled a feature called ‘Use Media’ to reshare content from other creators on your timeline. It is designed to simplify content resharing while ensuring that creators receive proper credit. Threads’ Use Media option allows you to share photos and videos with automatic attribution to the original creator.

How Threads’ Use Media Feature Works?

The new ‘Use Media’ feature on Threads will enable you to share photos and videos from other users’ posts in your feed. When you share someone else’s media, the original creator’s username will appear at the top left of the image or video, giving them credit for the content.

Also, the reshared media will have its own separate resharing count, so you can see how many times it has been shared by others. This feature helps give creators the recognition they deserve while making it easy for users to share interesting content. Creators also have the option to disable this feature in their settings if they do not want others to share their content.
