Threads Tests New Option That Allows Users To Select What Feed They Want As Default When Opening App

If you’re not a huge fan of the way your feed looks on the Threads app then you might want to read on further.

The platform is currently testing a new option that enables users to select how their feed will appear as default when they open it up. The news was first confirmed by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg who mentioned there will be the option to select Following, For Your, or any other customized variant for feeds that users come up with.

Zuckerberg's post explained that Threads is currently in the experimental phase with this feature. He also shared how it will help make feeds more visible on the Threads platform.

It’s an offering that’s been a long time coming as many users have been requesting it since the start. So while it might have taken the company a year to finalize its plans, we can certainly expect it to benefit many soon.

For now, the test is just limited to a limited audience but an expansion on this front is expected soon. If you’d like to select your feed to default, simply log into the app and hold any of the feed options located at the top of the page. After that, select ‘Edit Feeds’ and this is where you can reorder them again.

The feed placed at the top or first position will be selected as default and pop up whenever you open the platform again. The news comes at a time when a growing amount of competition from rival app Bluesky is on the rise. This has led to executives buckling up and making changes to stop audience members from flocking away and instead signing up for Threads.

We’ve already heard about some more improvements in the works like an improved For You Algorithm so that users actually see more accounts that they follow and content they’re interested in. Other than that, the search feature is also said to be another exciting and useful endeavor, and let’s not forget about the new landscape video offering.

So far so good and if Threads manages to keep up the good work and make its users happy, we can expect more success in the next couple of months.
