Meta has finally released the much anticipated web version streams, a social network seeking to position itself as an alternative to X (Twitter).

Another feature inherited from the application is next channel. The Threads website opens a suggested channel by default, so if you want to switch to one that shows the accounts you follow you have to press the button located in the lower left corner. If it doesn’t appear, just click the Threads logo to activate it.

Finally, the web version of Threads It also allows you to switch between dark and light mode. from the hamburger menu (without the bun) in the top right corner. And if you’re wondering how your feed is updated, the answer is as simple as tapping the app logo at the top.

Threads takes an important step to prevent user flight

Just a few days ago one of the disadvantages of Threads vs. X (Twitter) was the lack of a web version. The Meta social network was launched exclusively for mobile phones, which limited its use in free time. User response was immediate and the list of requests included the ability to post or view the feed from any browser.

Until now, Meta listens to the opinion of the community, releasing constant updates. to the application. Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, actively responded to other users’ threads and announced new features in Threads. The manager’s reaction surprised many, especially given that Mosseri ignored complaints on Instagram for years.

Thanks to Threads, the tech giant can’t afford to fail and efforts must be redoubled to prevent user flight. Having broken all records at launch, the new social network lost more than half of the people registered at that time. The addition of a timeline to view the accounts we follow and a new web version will help restore those who have left.

The strategy of Zuckerberg and company does not end there. In the coming months we will see stronger integration with Instagram which will include links to topics to attract new users and improve their retention. Meta’s CEO is optimistic about his plans to grow the community, though it won’t happen overnight.

“We’ve launched this book many times (FB, IG, Stories, Reels, etc.) and I’m sure Threads is on a good track too,” he said.
