🫥 Threads confirms it is experimenting with ephemeral posts

Earlier this month, Threads said it was testing ephemeral posts only as an internal prototype. Now, the company says that it is testing posts that disappear within 24 hours with a limited number of users.

Threads did not disclose if the experiment is region-specific or who could activate such posts.

♻️ Meta lets you cross-post from Instagram and Facebook to Threads

Meta has been experimenting for months with letting people cross-post from Instagram and Facebook to Threads, its social networking platform competing with X.

Now the feature has officially rolled out globally to all countries where Threads is available. The new cross-posting capability is part of Meta’s larger goal to get the most out of the content people share on its family of apps.

💻 YouTube has a new AI chatbot to help restore hacked channels

YouTube has announced a new AI assistant feature to help users recover accounts that have been targeted by hackers.

Described as a “troubleshooting tool” on Google’s support page, the chatbot can be accessed via the YouTube Help Center, and should ask hacked creators a series of questions to guide them through the process of securing their impacted Google logins and reversing any changes that have been made to their YouTube channels.

Access is limited to ‘certain creators’ at the moment, but YouTube plans to eventually make the feature available to all users.
