Meta’s social media platform Threads has officially migrated from Threads.net to its new domain, Threads.com, signaling a major leap forward in enhancing the desktop experience for its rapidly expanding user base. Alongside the migration, Threads is introducing a suite of new features designed to empower creators and casual users alike.
Since its initial web launch in August 2023, Threads has evolved from a basic browser-based platform into a robust web experience that mirrors the dynamic functionality of its mobile counterpart. Today’s update marks one of the biggest upgrades yet.
What’s New on Threads Web?
-
Custom Feeds Front and Center: Users can now view their custom feeds at the top of the homepage when in single-column view, aligned with their mobile feed order for seamless cross-platform use.
-
Quick Access to Liked and Saved Posts: A new shortcut in the main menu allows users to revisit conversations they’ve engaged with, making it easier to track favorite content.
-
Multi-Column Layout Enhancements: Users can now add columns on the fly by clicking a new column icon on the right side of the screen, allowing for more personalized and efficient content browsing.
-
Smarter Sharing: Instead of taking screenshots, users can copy Threads posts as images to share across platforms like Instagram—streamlining the reposting process.
-
Always-On Composer: A floating “+” button in the bottom-right corner activates a pop-up post composer that follows users as they scroll, making it easier to share thoughts in the moment.
-
Cross-Platform Connectivity: Threads is testing a new feature that lets users upload their following lists from other apps, starting with X (formerly Twitter). The goal is to help creators quickly connect with familiar audiences and grow their presence on Threads.
A New Era for Threads Web
The platform first introduced customizable, multi-column views in May 2024, allowing users to tailor their homepage by adding columns for activity, insights, saved posts, favorite searches, or specific profiles. These columns are also draggable, letting users prioritize what matters most.
With real-time content updates, auto-refresh options, and powerful personalization tools, Threads on web is fast becoming a key destination for content creators, community builders, and casual browsers alike.
As Threads continues to expand and refine its web experience, Meta promises even more updates on the horizon to further support its growing community.
