Meta’s Threads app is receiving a range of new features to enhance user experience. The recent updates include two new feed options and a translation feature, among others. These improvements come as part of Meta’s continuous efforts to enhance its Threads app, which was launched earlier this month. Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Meta, made the announcement through his official Meta Channel on Instagram, mentioning that more updates are on the way.
The first new feed option introduced is the “For You” feed, similar to Instagram’s For You feed. It provides a mix of posts from the profiles that a user follows and recommended accounts. The second feed option is the “Following” feed, which displays all the posts from the profiles a user is following in chronological order, starting with the most recent. To switch from the For You feed to the Following feed, users can simply tap on the Threads icon at the top of their feed and swipe.
Another significant feature added to Threads is the “Translations” feature, allowing users to get a translation of the text they see in a post into their preferred language. By tapping at the bottom right of the post, users can easily read the content in their own language, even if the original post is in a different language.
Furthermore, Meta has introduced new ways to filter notifications on Threads. Users can now filter notifications in their Activity feed based on factors such as follows, quotes, and reposts. This customization provides users with greater control over the notifications they receive.
In addition to these features, Meta has added a new “Follow” button and an “Approve All” button for follow requests on Threads. These buttons streamline the process of managing follow requests and make it easier for users to interact with the app.
Looking ahead, Instagram and Threads boss Adam Mosseri confirmed that Meta is working on a web-based platform for Threads. While Threads users can currently view Threads on the web, they are unable to access features such as Likes and Comments. However, the upcoming web-based platform will enable users to log into Threads and access various features and functionalities on the web, similar to Instagram’s web-based platform.
With these new features and the upcoming web interface, Threads users can expect an enhanced and more versatile experience, making the app even more user-friendly and engaging.
