Future of Threads’ messaging options unclear after cross-messaging beta ends

The news: Meta ended a beta test that allowed users to send messages to other users on Instagram while in the Threads app.

  • The test was available to limited users and began in April.
  • Threads still doesn’t have a direct-messaging system within its app, though Meta added cross-posting options between Facebook, Instagram, and Threads last month.
