Threads Adds Polls and GIFs Features
Threads added two new features: Polls and GIFs. The Polls feature enables users to create polls by asking questions and providing up to four answer options. These polls automatically expire after 24 hours, and only participants can view the results. The GIFs feature allows users to explore and share GIFs from GIPHY directly within the post composer.
Why It Matters: Threads continues to incorporate familiar features from Instagram, such as the previous rollout of an edit button and Voice Posts. As seen on Instagram, polls, and GIFs are often used and help drive engagement by delivering new ways for interaction and content sharing, respectively.
