Threads app’s latest update gives more prominence to reposts | TechCrunch

Threads haven’t launched an online model but, however the app has shipped a brand new replace to present extra prominence to reposts on the social community.

Meta has modified two issues relating to reposts on the app. First, there’s now a devoted “Reposts” tab on the profile web page, so folks can rapidly scan by means of all reposts by a person. Earlier this month, the corporate rolled out a new option on the settings page to let users look at their own liked posts.

Second, customers can now see reposts within the reverse-chronological “Following” feed as effectively. Previous to the newest replace, you might see different customers’ reposts solely within the algorithmic “For You” feed. Instagram head Adam Mosseri mentioned this alteration was “based mostly in your suggestions.”

Admittedly, this replace will not be as drastic as when Twitter launched the Retweet function in 2009. However with this alteration, folks will most likely see extra posts on the “Following” feed.

These are a part of hooks developed by the Threads group to extend engagement, which has dwindled over time. Since its launch final month, the app has launched options for sharing a Threads publish on to the Instagram feed or sending it through Instagram DMs.

Nonetheless, it will have been good to get an online model of Threads within the week when X (formerly Twitter) made TweetDeck a subscriber-only feature.
