Meta’s threads ultimately allow users to change the default feed in the application, a move that addresses one of the most frustrating parts of the service for a long time. By updating, users will be able to make the “below” feed or customize the default view in the feed application instead of threads sometimes “for you” feeds.
Mark Zuckerberg says meta will test the return function’s functionality but the company has hardly said it since then. Since it is official, the change can help solve the criticism that threading is not useful for following real-time events as it pushes users to the “For You” algorithm feed that usually comes with many replies instead of playing many replies from the account below, rather than newer posts.
It can also help META as it tries to attract more users from X and Bluesky, which attracted a surge in new users last year. According to a Yuan spokesperson .
Long overdue changes and Upgrade to service. The app also ends up getting a setting that allows users to limit quotes and replies only to followers. This should resolve complaints about responding people and unnecessary seizures (previously, the app’s quote control had the option of “profile you follow” and only mentioned the account).
Threads are also making changes to make it easier to surface themes in various parts of the application. As a review, the topic on the thread is essentially a version of the site (some of which) ). Now, the app will surface in more places to get users to move to more relevant posts.
When drafting a new post, threads will allow users to browse topics, including topics currently popular in the application. The service will also highlight trend topics along with relevant feed positions. Meta is also testing the ability to add topics to thread profiles, just like how you can add tags to your Instagram profiles. The company notes that leveraging topics can help users expand their reach, noting that “internal data” suggests that posts with tagged topics “will often get more perspectives than no one.” This may be useful information for thread creators trying to decipher the application .
