Mark Zuckerberg, the founder, CEO of Meta, announced that the company will soon add search and web experiences to Instagram’s Threads, a competitor to Twitter.
“Search and web coming in the next few weeks,” Zuckerberg posted on Threads, saying he’s “excited about the team’s pace of shipping”, according to a IANS report.
“The community here is on a trajectory I expect to build a vibrant, long-term app. There is lots of work ahead, but I’m excited about the team’s pace of shipping. Search and web are coming in the next few weeks,” the Meta CEO said.
Zuckerberg recently stated that “We are working on it” and that it has been high on his list to create a desktop web version.
Zuckerberg revealed new features for Threads including a “Following” feed and “Translations” last month, the IANS report added.
“Since the launch of Threads, the Instagram team has been continuing to listen to community feedback and is working as quickly as possible to deliver new features to improve people’s experience,” he said.
“Your feed on Threads allows you to view posts from other profiles, now with two options, ” he said.
‘For you’ is a view of the Threads feed that includes a mix of posts from profiles that users have chosen to follow and recommended accounts.
On the other hand, ‘Following’ will only display posts in chronological order from users who are currently being followed. Threads had reached 100 million sign-ups faster than any social media platform in history.
