Threads on Thursday rolled out several new features which offer improved profile personalisation, feed curation, and video playback. The Meta-owned microblogging platform now lets s customise their feed by personalising the order. By introducing topics for bio, Threads says s can also show off their favourite communities and interests to those who visit their profile. Improvements have also been rolled out to the video player, post interactions, and civic content phasing.

Until now, Threads allowed s to pick from the For you, Following, and Custom feed by pulling down on the home screen. However, the latest functionality adds the option of setting a feed as default and that will appear initially when the app is reopened, as per the microblogging platform. Even custom feeds can be set as default.

Threads' New Features

Further, Threads says it is testing a new feature which lets s add up to 10 topics, such as their favourite communities or interests, to their bio, adding another layer of personalisation. Tapping a topic will lead s to conversations about it on the platform. Threads says it has also redesigned the timely topics tag to make it more visible on posts in the For You feed. Further, suggested trending topics or related ones can be added to previously shared posts too, when drafting a new post. The company claims it carried out an analysis which revealed that posts with tagged topics reach a wider audience compared to those without one.
