Meta has introduced a new hub featuring educational resources for Threads, which include best practices, data-backed tips, and content examples for creators. 

Threads is launching an Activity Status feature that allows users to see when others are online.

Threads will now indicate when accounts follow others based on specific posts.

Threads has rolled out Custom Feeds for both desktop and mobile. Users can choose from hashtags, keywords, and profiles to create feeds, which they can also name. Once saved, the feed will appear in the Your Feeds section, alongside other feeds like Following, Liked, and Saved.

Flipboard has introduced the ability for users to follow anyone in the fediverse.

Meta has announced updates for the Threads desktop experience for creators and brands.

Threads has rolled out a blue label for posts related to recent trending topics in the US. This label will also display the number of related posts. Users can click on the label to view other related posts and sort them by "Top" or "Recent."

Mastodon, an X alternative, has added an author byline feature. Some links shared on the platform will include a clickable author byline that links to the author’s associated fediverse account, which could also be Threads, Flipboard, or other decentralized platforms. Initial websites that will implement this are The Verge, MacStories, and MacRumors, but news organizations can request access.

As Threads approaches its one-year anniversary (July 5th) and now has over 175 million users, Meta collaborated with Wakefield Research to delve into how users engage with the text-based app and social media overall.

Threads now displays full-sized image posts from Instagram directly within posts. When an Instagram post is shared to Threads, the images are displayed in their entirety rather than as small thumbnails with a URL link.

Threads rolled out an updated desktop experience, allowing users to pin columns for different feeds such as For You, Following, Liked or Saved Posts, Activity, and other user profiles.
