Reels get the AI treatment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Reels, Meta\u2019s short-form juggernaut, is also getting an upgrade.

Ads are coming to Threads<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First up is Threads. The once ad-free, text-first platform is now home to native, scrollable video ads. While still early days, this format invites brands to build presence in a less saturated, more dialogue-driven environment.
