Threads App Update: Reposts Take Center Stage

Threads, the popular social network app, has recently released a new update that aims to give more prominence to reposts. Although a web version is yet to be launched, the recent changes are expected to enhance the user experience and increase engagement on the platform.

A Dedicated “Reposts” Tab

One of the notable changes is the addition of a dedicated “Reposts” tab on the user’s profile page. This new feature allows users to quickly browse through all the posts that have been reposted by a specific user. This feature makes it easier for users to discover new and interesting content.

Reposts in the “Following” Feed

Previously, users could only see reposts in the algorithmic “For You” feed. However, Threads’ latest update now includes reposts in the reverse-chronological “Following” feed as well. This change was made based on user feedback and is expected to provide users with a wider range of posts to interact with and enjoy.

Increasing Engagement

The Threads team has been working on various strategies to boost engagement on the app. Apart from the recent update on reposts, they have introduced features such as sharing Threads posts directly to the Instagram feed and sending them through Instagram DMs. These efforts aim to keep users engrossed and active on the platform.

Not as Drastic as Twitter’s Retweet, but Noteworthy

Although this update may not be as revolutionary as Twitter’s introduction of the Retweet function in 2009, it is still significant in its own right. The addition of reposts to the “Following” feed means that users will likely come across more diverse and interesting content while browsing the app.

A Web Version of Threads?

Despite the recent improvements, Threads still lacks a web version. This is particularly notable as another social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), recently made TweetDeck a subscriber-only feature. While the Threads app continues to evolve, users are eagerly anticipating the release of a web version.
