Nigeria, May 9 -- This new move, revealed during Meta's presentation at the IAB NewFronts, is aimed at expanding the platform's advertising options, which were opened to global brands just last month.

The company said only a few advertisers will be part of the test for now.

These ads will be in 19:9 or square format and placed between regular user posts on Threads.

Meta did not provide full details about how often these ads will appear or how much they will cost.

This update comes shortly after Meta revealed that Threads now has over 350 million monthly users.

There's also been a rise in how long people spend on the app, something Meta credits to better content suggestions.

Meta is making other updates across its platforms as well....
