Threads may get an Instagram-powered DM, but the path to a separate one is murky

[ad_1] It has been about 4 months since Threads launched as an alternative to the volatile and ever-so-changing landscape of X (formerly Twitter), and it has managed to provide a comfortable home to users owing to its fast deployment of new features, paying attention to user feedback and the fediverse support. For the unaware, fediverse, a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe", is a decentralized social media infrastructure. However, one area where users feel left out is DMs or direct messages. It has been one of the biggest requests from users, but it appears that neither developers nor decision-makers of the social media platform are sure how to tackle it because of some serious complications.Earlier today, November 15, Platformer's Casey Newton posted speculating that Threads wi...

Threads may get a game-changing feature soon; Know all about it

[ad_1] Since its debut on July 6, Threads has been working hard to compete with X (formerly Twitter) in the race to become the top microblogging platform. While Threads enjoyed a burst in popularity at launch, becoming the fastest-ever platform to reach 100 million users, it has somewhat died down since then. The initial surge in traffic was attributed to glaring issues on X as well as people getting fed up with several of Elon Musk's draconian measures. However, Threads still lacks several features that have made X extremely popular over the last few years.But that could soon change as the platform is reportedly planning to introduce a Trending section. Trending on ThreadsAccording to a report by 9to5Mac, an eagle-eyed app developer named Willian Max spotted a screenshot accidentally p...

Amid Twitter rebranding chaos, Threads rolls out a massive update on Android

[ad_1] At a time when Elon Musk is busy driving Twitter's rebranding to X, the Instagram-powered Threads has quietly rolled out one of the biggest Android updates so far. The update added a crucial feature to the text-based social media platform that was missing so far. The new update will add a chronological ‘Following' tab to the app, that will now enable the users to see a separate feed with posts from only those who the user is following.
