A Following feed is coming to Meta text-based social network Threads. In settings and other features, the company is adding the option to see liked posts.
You can hide or show the For You and Following feeds by pressing the Threads symbol at the top of the program.
According to Afriupdate, the update also adds new categories to arrange your Activity feed by Follows, Quotes, and reposts, and a Follow button on your followers list to instantly follow other accounts. Users with private accounts can now “approve all” follow requests.
Mark Zuckerberg posted on Instagram that the company is introducing translation services.
“Threads introduced a chronological feed of only people you follow and added translations. “More to come!”

Meta Threads adds following feed which requires the newest version. Since this is a gradual rollout, you may not see the new feed or other alternatives right away.
Based on the user’s language settings and the written language, the business said translations are automatic.
“Ask and you shall receive,” Zuckerberg stated on Threads, quoting a user’s post regarding a Following feed.
The “For You” and “Following” streams are at the top of the app, like Twitter. That will make Threads’ app easier to use for Twitter users.

In response to a user complaint that the new Following tab would only load a few posts, Threads iOS developer Cameron Roth said, “Seems we have created a lot of sudden demand for some reason…”
Threads has updated its app quickly after Twitter’s missteps. It recently issued its first big upgrade, adding compatibility for iOS 17, now in public beta. Translation support and more were included in another upgrade. However, that update was postponed to resolve concerns.
Threads still needs an edit button, multi-account functionality, and ActivityPub integration, which powers Mastodon, a decentralized Twitter competitor. Threads is “a work in progress,” according to Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri.
Instagram Threads was an instant hit, reaching 100 million users in days.
Instagram’s new Twitter competitor was losing steam, according to a Friday Wall Street Journal article. According to Sensor Tower data, Threads’ daily active users plummeted for the second week to 13 million, a 70% reduction from a July 7 high point. 200 million people use Twitter daily.
It’s too soon to write off Threads. The app has 25% of Twitter’s weekly active users, according to data.ai.

Following the app’s huge debut, Threads’ usage may rise again with the Following feed function.
The new chronological feed launches as Elon Musk replaces Twitter’s bird emblem with an “X” on Monday. Musk said the company will soon “bid adieu to the Twitter brand.” The changeover is difficult because most official accounts and elements of the website still use the “Twitter” branding.
Meta is again exploiting Twitter’s instability to draw users to its Twitter clone. Threads may be a better option for Twitter purists, as X seems to be changing, promising a future with payments, banking, and video.
