There\u2019s a long list of things that Threads can\u2019t do, but it will get shorter over time. Thanks to a new update, Threads just got the long-awaited Following feed, according to 9To5Google.<br \/>\nThis is one of the main things that people have been pining for since the app made its debut. Users would join the app and follow a bunch of creators and friends only to be met with a feed of posts from celebrities and influencers. This has been a pain point for Instagram users as well.<br \/>\nThreads finally gets its following feed<br \/>\nNow, users\u2019 prayers have been answered, as Meta released the first major update for its new platform. This update is live for both iOS and Android, so no one will feel left out. It\u2019s a server-side update, so users will still need to wait even with the most up-to-date version of the app (version 293.0.0.30.110).<br \/>\nAs it stands, your feed is an algorithmically-curated feed of posts. These include posts from those you follow and popular accounts. The app is feeding you what it feels that you like. However, sometimes, we just want to see posts from folks that we follow. Also, the posts aren\u2019t in chronological order.<br \/>\nWith the new Threads Following feed, you\u2019ll only see posts from accounts that you follow. Also, it\u2019s in chronological order, so you\u2019ll always be fed posts fresh from the creators\u2019 fingertips.<br \/>\nWhile this is a step forward for the app, it\u2019s handled in a bit of a weird way. The new feed won\u2019t be visible by default when you open the app. In order for you to see it, you\u2019ll need to press the\u00a0Home\u00a0button. When you do this, you\u2019ll see two tabs lower from the top of the UI.<br \/>\nThe tab on the left will be called \u201cFor You\u201d, and this is the default feed. The one on the right, you\u2019ll see the Following tab. Tap on it to see the new tab. It\u2019s weird that Meta is trying to hide this feed from its users. This makes sense, as the feeds are also hidden on Instagram.<br \/>\nThe post Threads gets a 'Following&#8217; feed, but Meta doesn&#8217;t want you to see it 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-3-AH.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Threads launched to some major success, but the app is pretty bare-bones compared to its rivals.
