Threads by Instagram, Meta’s alternative to X (formerly Twitter) often adds new features to make the social media platform more appealing. While the new functionalities are much appreciated, many complain about posts from the app sneakily showing up on Instagram and Facebook feeds.
While this may not bother you if you use Threads, Instagram and Facebook, some users might prefer not to see posts from friends or random people they have followed on other social media platforms while scrolling through their feeds on Instagram and Facebook.
Replying to a user query, the official Threads handle said the company recently rolled out a new feature that makes it easy for people to see the latest content from Threads on Meta’s other social media platforms and hinted that things may change down the line as it is “listening to feedback”.
Threads, an Instagram app, has been consistently rolling out new features like the ability to share voice notes, edit posts for free, and a search feature that is still rolling out in some countries.
Launched in July this year, Threads attracted more than 100 million users in the first 5 days, but just a month later, struggled to attract new users, with a report by Similarweb suggesting the Meta-owned platform witnessed a 79 per cent drop in traffic. Instagram head Adam Mosseri says unlike Twitter, Threads is not meant for news and is primarily focused on text-based updates.
