Meta’s Threads finally allows users to modify their default flow in the application, in a decision that addresses what has long been one of the most frustrating parties of the service. With the update, users will be able to make the “next” flow or a personalized flow The default view in the application rather than the sometimes chaotic “for you” flow of threads.
Mark Zuckerberg said Meta would test the return functionality, but the company has said little since. Now that it is official, the change could help to resolve criticism that threads are not as useful for following real -time events, because it pushes users to the algorithmic flow “for you”, which often surfaces older messages with many responses rather than more recent articles of followed accounts.
This could also help Meta because he tries to attract more X and Bluesky users, who saw a wave of new users last year. Threads currently has 320 million monthly active users, according to a Meta spokesperson, while Bluesky has on .
The longtime change is coming next Service upgrades. The application finally obtains a parameter which allows users to limit quotes and responses to subscribers only. This should tackle complaints concerning response guys and useless dunking (previously, application quotes controls had options for “the profiles you follow” and mention the accounts only).
Threads also make changes that facilitate the surface of the subjects in different parts of the application. As recycling, the subjects on the wires are essentially the version of the hashtags site (with some). From now on, the application will surface subjects in more places in order to direct users to more relevant publications.
When writing a new message, threads will allow users to browse subjects, including those currently in fashion in the application. The service will also highlight subjects of trend in evidence parallel to relevant flow posts. Meta also tests the possibility of adding subjects to threads profiles, just like how you can add hashtags to Instagram profiles. The company notes that taking advantage of subjects could help users develop their scope, noting that “internal data” suggest that publications with a labeled subject “generally receive more views than those without one”. It will probably be useful information for threaded creators trying to sometimes decipher the application.
