New features on Threads enhance user control and personalization, including updates to tagged topics, follower-only replies, and an improved video player. Analysis indicates that posts with topics receive more views, prompting the introduction of topic integration throughout the app.
Users can now personalize their profiles by adding up to ten topics to their bios, facilitating connections with like-minded individuals. Tapping on a topic leads to relevant conversations, and prompts for trending topics will assist in post visibility. Redesigned topic tags in the For You feed enhance accessibility to interests.
New management options allow users to restrict replies and quote posts to followers, building on previous Quote Controls. Threads is also reintroducing civic content in a more personalized manner and allows users to customize the order of their feeds.
The media player has been upgraded with new controls for easier video navigation, including pause, play, and skip buttons, along with a pinned progress bar. These enhancements aim to make Threads a preferred platform for sharing thoughts and connecting with others.
