Meta's Threads Tests New Shortcut for Quick DM Conversations

Meta's Threads platform is currently testing a new feature that allows users to quickly start direct message conversations through a simple text shortcut.Users who are part of the test group can now type "DM me" or "Message me" in a post or reply, which automatically generates a hyperlink. This link invites other users to start a private conversation with them directly.The feature aims to streamline communication on the platform by making it easier for users to initiate one-on-one conversations without navigating through multiple menus. If rolled out widely, it could enhance engagement and make Threads more competitive with other social media platforms that offer seamless messaging options.Meta has been steadily adding features to Threads since its launch as it seeks to establish the platform as a viable alternative in the social media landscape.
