Meta announced its latest Threads app to take on Twitter as a leading microblogging platform. The app features a plethora of similarities compared to Elon Musk's sinking ship but the latter is still quite prevalent in terms of userbase and expanded feature set. Seemingly, Meta has released the first major update for the Threads app, offering various features that users have been asking for.

Threads app receives a first major update that caters to a wide range of features that users have found missing

The latest Threads app update offers a new Follow tab on the activity feed that allows users to see who follows them. This gives users easy access to followers and if they should follow them back. The update also comes with improvements on the feed load times, and the ability to subscribe to unfollowed users. Another major addition is translation and you can check out the rest of the additions below:

The information was shared by Instagran's software engineer Cameron Roth on Threads. There is also a boatload of other additions that you should check out. If you are interested, you can update the Threads app right now from the App Store or the Play Store if it is not automatically updated. Furthermore, since the Threads app is growing rapidly, you might have to wait a while before the update is available. We would recommend waiting a few hours if the update does not show up for you on your respective app stores.

These are all the new changes shared by Insatgram's software engineer on Threads. If you still have not downloaded the Threads app on your iPhone or Android, be sure to do so and post your Instagram followers onto a new platform. Meta is giving users a choice to move away from Twitter as the leading microblogging platform. Nonetheless, Twitter has its own userbase who are accustomed to the interface and usage.

One of the major aspects that the Threads app still lacks is a desktop version of the platform. Hopefully, Meta will either release an app for Windows and macOS or it could launch a Threads website. You can download the Threads app from the App Store and Play Store.
