Threads now lets you tag your location

Meta introduces the ability to mark your location in your Threads posts. If you have the feature, a pin will appear in the post composer that you can tap to indicate where you are.

Please note that adding your location to a Threads post will not share an exact pin on a map. Instead, this feature allows you to give your users a rough idea of ​​your location by sharing things like the name of a city, neighborhood, or restaurant. And if you see a Threads post that contains a location, you can tap that location to see other posts from the same location.

I have the function and have been playing around with it. When I tap the pin in Post Composer, Threads presents me with a number of options: I can stay broad by tagging myself in Portland, OR, where I live, or I can choose from a few more specific locations. If you've tagged your location in an Instagram post, the Threads approach might seem pretty familiar.

Threads' location tagging feature only appears to be available on the mobile app at this time. I have it on iOS but I don't see it on the web. Hopefully it won't take too long to appear on desktop browsers.
