One of these experimental features is the ability to save drafts. Users will be easily able to save a post they&#8217;ve typed as a draft that they can edit and publish later by swiping down on their mobile device&#8217;s display. When there&#8217;s a draft saved, the app&#8217;s menu at the bottom of the screen highlights the post icon. At the moment, though, they can only save one draft, and it&#8217;s unclear if Meta has plans to give users the ability to save more.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to drafts, Meta is also testing an in-app camera. It opens the mobile phone&#8217;s camera from within Threads itself, so that users can more easily share photos and videos from their phone. Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg made a post on the service with a photo he says was taken with the new in-app camera the company is testing.<\/p>\n<p>Meta told us that these are initial tests for the experimental features, which means they could undergo a lot of changes before they get a wide release, and are only available for a small number of people.
