Meta's Threads is enhancing its Live Chats feature with new capabilities, including support for translations and additional tools for chat hosts, the company announced on Tuesday, June 30, 2026. The update also expands access to the feature for more users, though Meta did not specify the exact number of new users or regions.
Live Chats, which launched earlier in 2026, allows users to host real-time text-based conversations within the platform. The new translation feature enables participants to view messages in their preferred language, while hosts gain tools to manage discussions more effectively, such as the ability to pin messages or moderate comments. Meta confirmed these details in a blog post on June 30, 2026.
The expansion follows Threads' broader strategy to compete with other social platforms by offering interactive features. As of July 1, 2026, the feature is rolling out to additional users globally, but Meta has not disclosed a full rollout timeline. No other new features were announced in this update.
