Threads recently launched a new music function test in Taiwan, allowing users to add their favorite songs directly to posts and replies, adding mood, atmosphere and personal style to every conversation. This update is not just about posting songs, but hopes to make music a part of social interaction, so that every post can be read and shared in a more emotional way.
Threads can now add exclusive soundtracks to make social conversations more “soundy”
Music has always been one of the most active and cohesive topics on Threads. From live broadcasts of large-scale music festivals, exchanges with hip-hop creators, sharing of concert experiences, to instant support and daily playlist recommendations from K-pop fans, music content has already formed a unique cultural context on the platform. The music function launched this time is an extension of this social energy, allowing users to express their emotions, tastes and current state of mind through music in a more intuitive and expressive way.
This time the music function not only provides songs, but also emphasizes the diversity of “presentation methods”. Users can select songs from the authorized music library and freely select 30-second highlights to add to posts or replies. In order to integrate music and content more naturally, Threads provides three visual styles so that each post can display a different atmosphere. These presentation methods make music no longer just a background, but a part of the content of the post, which can strengthen the narrative, create an atmosphere, and even become a starting point for starting a conversation. :
- Simple mode: mainly based on the song title and singer, clean and concise, suitable for daily sharing or mood whispers.
- Lyrics mode: displays the lyrics of the selected paragraph, allowing the music and text emotions to be amplified simultaneously, especially suitable for moments when you want to express your mood with a lyric.
- Vinyl record animation mode: The album cover is presented with a vinyl rotation animation, with a retro texture, making the post more visually memorable.
In addition to adding songs to their own posts, users can also directly reply to other people’s posts with music, forming a more creative way of interaction. Whether you want to extend the topic, share the same mood, or simply express your reaction with a song, it can make the conversation more layered and emotional. In terms of browsing experience, Threads adopts a “click to play” design to avoid interference caused by automatic playback. Users can choose whether to listen at their own pace and keep their original sliding browsing habit uninterrupted.
Currently, this music function has been tested in Taiwan and will gradually be opened to more users for early experience. Whether you use iOS, Android or the web version, you can add music to your posts and enjoy a consistent creation and browsing experience. Threads also predicts that it will continue to launch more music-related interactive features in the future, making the role of music in the community more diverse. Through this update, Threads hopes to make music a more natural way of connecting people, so that every post is not just text or image, but a complete expression with melody, emotion and story.
