Meta threads are finally allowing users to change their default diet in the application, in a movement that addresses what has long been one of the most frustrating parts of the service. With the update, users will be able to feed the “next” or a personalized feeding the predetermined view in the application instead of the sometimes chaotic food “for you” of the threads.

The long -lasting change comes next to Service updates. The application also finally obtains a configuration that allows users to limit contributions and responses only to followers. That should address complaints about response boys and unnecessary immersion (previously, application contribution controls had options for “profiles that follow” and only mentioned accounts).
Threads is also making changes that facilitate the surface of issues in various parts of the application.

The service will also highlight more prominent tendency issues together with relevant food publications. Meta is also testing the ability to add issues to thread profiles, as well as how can Hashtags add to instagram profiles. The company points out that taking advantage of the issues could help users expand their scope, noting that “internal data” suggests that publications with a topic labeled “generally receive more views than those who do not have one.” It is likely to be useful information for thread creators trying to decipher the application sometimes.
