The new social media platform from Meta is on its way to more than 100 million users in just a matter of days. Now, Android users can try out new features early because Threads opened its beta program just recently.<br \/>\nThis is good news, as Threads is a bit bare-bones compared to Twitter. Many people are liking the platform despite the fact that it\u2019s missing several features that most other platforms have. For instance, there are no DMs or hashtags, and there\u2019s no general search feature. We expect these features to make it to the app eventually.<br \/>\nThreads opens up its beta program<br \/>\nIn a soap opera-esque twist, Threads launched on Android and iOS at the same time. Usually, iOS gets apps and features before Android users. In another twist, this beta program is only for Android users. However, we believe that this is only for now.<br \/>\nThe beta program will allow people to test out new and experimental Threads features early, according to 9To5Google. This is great, as there are a lot of features that people have been pining after.<br \/>\nHow to join the beta program<br \/>\nIf you want to join the beta program, it\u2019s easy to do so. Go to Threads on the Google Play Store. Scroll down a bit until you see the beta area. You\u2019ll know you\u2019re there when you see a beaker with shapes in it. You\u2019ll see the Join button at the bottom of the section.<br \/>\nWhen you tap on the button, it will take a few minutes for you to officially be added to the program. Just don\u2019t be alarmed if you don\u2019t notice any immediate change. After that, you\u2019ll see the Update button at the top.<br \/>\nAfter you update your app, you\u2019ll be a part of the beta program. Just know that, if you\u2019re a part of the beta program, the app could become less stable as you use it. That\u2019s just a reality with using beta software.<br \/>\nFor the time being, we don\u2019t know what new features are coming and we don\u2019t know when they\u2019ll be coming. You\u2019ll just want to keep an eye out.<br \/>\nThe post Threads opens its beta program for Android users appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Threads-Logo-6-AH.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We just can\u2019t stop talking about Threads, it seems.
