Meta updates Threads app, rolls out chronological ‘Following’ feed

Meta updated its Threads app on Tuesday and introduced plenty of new features, including the new following tab with a chronological timeline. Users can now get a dedicated feed of posts from the following accounts in one place in chronological order, and the updated user interface (UI) of the Threads app looks a lot similar to Twitter (X).

The update also allows users to customise the activity feed with filters like follows, quotes, reposts and introduces a follow button to enable users to quickly follow a user directly from the activity feed. With this update, Threads is offering more control to users on how they can consume content on the newest microblogging platform.
