New Instagram Threads feature update to prove you’re real on Mastodon: Why it’s a big deal

Meta aims to make its newly launched Threads app more interoperable. In view of this, it has rolled out a new feature for the app that allows users to verify their Threads profile links on decentralised social media platforms like Mastodon. The new feature was announced by Instagram head Adam Mosseri in a Threads post from Instagram. This makes it easier for users to prove that they own the Threads profile that they are linking to on other platforms.

The Threads app recently received several other updates like you can now share threads in Instagram DMs by tapping the share button and clicking on “Send on Instagram.”
