Meta's Threads platform is expanding its feature set with the introduction of swipeable custom topic feeds, marking a significant enhancement to the app's content discovery capabilities.
Key Features of the Update
- Pull-down menu on the home screen
- Toggle between "For You" and "Following" feeds
- Creation of custom topic-based feeds

How It Works
Users can now create personalized feeds around specific topics and people they want to follow. The new interface allows seamless switching between different feed types by pulling down on the home screen, offering a more tailored content consumption experience.
Available Feed Options
- For You feed (algorithmic recommendations)
- Following feed (chronological posts from followed accounts)
- Custom topic feeds (user-created content collections)
The feature is currently in testing with select users, as announced by Instagram head Adam Mosseri. Meta is actively seeking user feedback to refine the experience before a broader rollout.
This update addresses user requests for better content organization and could significantly improve engagement within specific interest communities on the platform.
