Threads is rolling out a new feature aimed at enhancing content discovery and connections on the platform. The Meta-owned app is now encouraging users to add interest topics to their profiles to improve the recommendation algorithm and facilitate connections between like-minded individuals.
How to Add Interests to Your Profile
The process to add interests is straightforward:
- Tap "Edit profile" on your Threads account
- Select the "Interests" option
- Add up to 10 topics that represent your interests
Users can also discover new topics by tapping on interest tags they see on other profiles, which will then show related posts around that subject.
Benefits of Adding Interests
According to Threads, adding interests serves multiple purposes on the platform. The feature helps users:
- Showcase personal interests to other users
- Connect with people who share similar topics of interest
- Improve content recommendations in the home feed
The selected topics will automatically be added to users' home feeds for easier access to relevant content. Threads notes that users have full control over their interests and can remove or add new topics at any time.
This update represents another step in Threads' evolution as it continues to refine its discovery capabilities and create more personalized experiences for its growing user base.
