Following last month’s test, Threads will now let everyone schedule posts, Instagram head Adam Mosseri announced on Thursday. You can use the feature by creating a new post, selecting the three-dot menu in the top-left corner, and selecting “Schedule.”

Once you get your post timed up, you can view, delete, or edit it from your drafts folder. Threads will let you schedule your posts up to 75 days in advance, but it won’t allow you to schedule replies.

Mosseri also said that Threads is adding a way to “markup” a post you’re resharing. Based on early versions of the feature shared by users, it looks like it will let you draw over, highlight, or add arrows to an existing post. This feature is rolling out to a “few countries with more to come soon.”

There are some big changes in store for Threads, which will also trade fact-checking for Community Notes as part of Meta’s broader moderation shift. The X competitor will start adding political content to recommendations as well.
