Threads app has introduced a significant new feature, allowing users to watch videos in landscape mode. Previously, the app did not support horizontal video viewing, even in full-screen mode. This update now enables users to watch videos and view photos in landscape orientation.
Key Updates
- Landscape Video Support: Users can now watch videos and view photos in landscape mode on the Threads app.
- Custom Feeds: Meta has rolled out the option for all users to create Custom Feeds in Threads.
- Algorithm Changes: Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri announced that the algorithm will prioritize content from accounts users follow.
- Search Feature: Threads will soon allow users to search for posts within a specific date range.
- Advertisements: Meta plans to start showing ads on Threads next year due to the platform's growth, which now boasts over 200 million monthly active users.
The Threads app is available for free on the App Store and requires an iPhone running iOS 15.1 or later. Users need to update to the latest version to access the new features.
