There has been some initial pushback on it. A photographer on Threads complained that \u201cthere will be a small watermark-like credit on the photo, but there won\u2019t be a link back to your account.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Curious, I tried out the new feature, went to see if there was indeed no link back to the original post, and followed bryanhansel\u2019s instructions for turning it off. Here\u2019s what happened, and how you can use and adjust Threads\u2019 new feature. (All of these instructions have been followed using the mobile app.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The new post will indeed have the image with only your comment and without the previous comment. However, the original poster\u2019s name will appear as a watermark in the upper-left corner and the number of reposts will appear in the lower-left corner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
While it isn\u2019t an obvious feature, there is a link to the original post. When I tapped on the watermark, the original post \u2014 text and all \u2014 appeared directly above my repost.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
However, if you prefer that any images or videos you post be shared along with your original text only, you can do that. (Again, instructions courtesy of bryanhansel.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
