One of the most “heavily demanded” features of the service is the update.
As stated by Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, Threads is currently in the process of testing a bookmarking function that would enable users to preserve messages. A “limited test” version of the upgrade is now being implemented, but the business has stated that the “heavily requested” function would eventually be made available on the service in a permanent capacity.
According to screenshots that were supplied by Meta, the “save” button that will be available on Threads will have a very similar appearance to the one that is available on Instagram. Users will be able to access the posts that they have bookmarked by going to the “save” part of the settings menu of the application.
Despite the fact that the capability to save posts might not appear to be the most thrilling feature, it will nevertheless contribute to the app being a little bit more organized. Direct messaging, search filtering, lists, and a host of other capabilities that are frequently desired by power users who are hoping to replace the functionality of Twitter (formerly known as X) are not yet available in threads.
Recent developments in Threads have resulted in the introduction of searchable tags; nevertheless, Meta has not yet included functionality such as chronological search or trending. Mosseri has stated that spammers could easily game chronological search, despite the fact that a “internal prototype” of the feature was recently discovered in the wild. Additionally, employees of Meta have been seen posting photographs of a feature that appears to be very similar to trending topics; however, it is not obvious what the firm intends to do with this function.
The business “will continue listening to community feedback for ways to improve the Threads experience,” according to a statement sent by a spokesperson for Meta. Mark Zuckerberg disclosed the news last week that the number of monthly users of the app had increased to 130 million. He has stated that the application has the potential to become the next service that the firm offers to one billion users.
