Threads now lets you tag your location

Threads now lets you tag your location

Meta is rolling out the ability to tag your location on your Threads posts. If you have the feature, you'll see a pin in the post composer that you can tap so you can include where you are.

Note that adding your location to a Threads post doesn't share an exact pin on a map. Instead, the feature lets you give your users an approximate idea of your location by sharing things like a city name, a neighborhood, or a restaurant. And if you see a Threads post that includes a location, you can tap that location to see other posts from the same place.

I have the feature, and I've been messing around with it. When I tap the pin in the post composer, Threads shows me a range of options: I can stay broad by tagging myself in Portland, OR, which is where I live, or I can pick from some more specific locations. If you've tagged your location in an Instagram post, Threads' approach should feel pretty familiar.

Threads' location-tagging feature only appears to be available on the mobile app right now; I have it on iOS, but I'm not seeing it on the web. Hopefully, it won't be too long until it shows up in desktop browsers.
