Threads App Adds ‘Repost’ Feature and Web Version Coming Soon

X, previously known as Twitter, and Meta’s Instagram-based Threads may appear similar in appearance as social media platforms, but their paths are diverging significantly. X is removing certain features from users and incorporating them into X Premium, with XPro (formerly TweetDeck) now exclusively accessible to verified users. Conversely, Threads is introducing fresh features for its users. The most recent addition is a “repost tab” in profiles, allowing users to view all the posts they have shared. Furthermore, the Following feed will now include reposted content as well.

Instagram head Adam Mosseri released these features early yesterday in classes. He said: “Two small updates to threads worth mentioning: we’re introducing a new Reposts tab on your profile so you can see all the threads you’ve reposted in one place. Based on your feedback, we’ll also add reposts to your next feed.

This update may be small, but it’s a quality-of-life update that cleans up the main profile feed and leaves it with just the author’s original posts. This feature also highlights the company’s desire to take a different approach than X, as the latter does not have this functionality.

In addition, the Following feed also receives reposts, which also improves its usability. In case you’re confused, Threads has a Following feed, just like Instagram, it’s just harder to find (which is probably on purpose). The For You feed, which is the default feed, is a mix of people you follow and algorithm-based recommendations, while the Next feed is a reverse chronological feed made up entirely of accounts you’ve selected. If you don’t see it on the home page, tap once on the Home button at the bottom or the Threads logo at the top.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently announced that an improved search feature and a web version of the platform are coming to Threads. This is a major update that the platform needs and may bring back users who left the platform after the initial phase. For those who don’t know, a Likeweb blog post said that nearly 80 percent of Thread’s daily active app users have stopped using it.
