Threads.net, the web-based version of the social media platform Threads, has launched, allowing users to access the service through their browsers, install it as a progressive web app, or pin it to the Edge Sidebar, expanding the platform's accessibility beyond Android and iOS devices.
Meta's Threads is introducing a keyword search feature in several countries, including the United States, making it the first major competitor to Twitter to integrate this highly requested tool, potentially posing more challenges for Elon Musk's struggling social media platform.
Threads, a new app developed by Meta, reached over 100 million users in just five days after its launch, making it the most successful app launch ever, with plans to make it compatible with other social networks and decentralized platforms in the future.
Meta has implemented temporary restrictions on search results for keywords related to COVID-19 and other controversial topics on its platform Threads, citing the need to ensure the quality and safety of the results, leading to concerns regarding access to reliable information.
Meta is planning to bring Trending Topics to its microblogging platform Threads, as accidentally revealed in a now-deleted screenshot by a Meta employee, allowing users to find posts on the most discussed topics on the platform.
