Meta-owned Threads has rolled out a game-changing feature for which users have been clamoring.
This much-requested addition allows users to seamlessly switch between multiple accounts without the hassle of logging out and back in.
How It Works
Threads users can now breathe a sigh of relief as the app introduces a sleek and convenient way to toggle between different profiles.
TechCrunch tells us that to access this feature, simply long-press on the profile icon located in the bottom right corner of the mobile app. A menu will appear, offering an "Add profile" option.
By selecting this, users can easily add and switch between various profiles with minimal effort.
This feature mirrors what is already available in the Instagram app, making it intuitive for users familiar with Meta's ecosystem.
This feature addresses a common pain point for individuals who manage multiple accounts, whether for work, personal use, or other purposes.
Threads' Evolution Continues
This is not the first time Threads has unveiled a noteworthy update. The app has been on a journey of continuous improvement since its launch.
Last month, it introduced full-text search features in New Zealand and Australia, simplifying user content discovery.
Earlier in the same month, Threads expanded its search feature globally, ensuring that users can easily find the content they are interested in.
In September, Threads rolled out additional features that further enhance the user experience. These include the ability to turn on notifications for 24 hours for a specific post, as well as the ability to quote posts on the web.
Competitive Landscape
Threads is not alone in its quest to offer innovative features to users. Its competitors are also pushing boundaries in the social media sphere.
For instance, Mastodon recently introduced version 4.2, featuring improvements in search functionality, quick action suggestions, a revamped web interface, and enhanced privacy settings.
The rivalry among social networking platforms is fierce, driving continuous innovation for users' benefit.
What's to Come
In other exciting news, there are hints that Threads might soon introduce an edit button, a feature that users have been eagerly awaiting.
Developer Alessandro Paluzzi reported this development and suggested that Meta is actively working on addressing user requests.
While details about the timing remain uncertain, the prospect of an edit button is likely to be met with enthusiasm by Threads users.
In Other News
TikTok is currently testing a new feature that incorporates Google Search into its in-app search results.
The trial phase, discovered lately by app researcher Radu Oncescu, shows a little box halfway down TikTok's search page, encouraging users to make parallel Google searches.
A TikTok spokesperson stated that this Google Search feature is one of the third-party integrations currently being tested in select markets.
