Last July, amidst all the fiasco with X (formerly Twitter), Meta came out with its own Twitter alternative called Threads. While the social media app got a lot of traction when it was released, the hype died down soon after, as the app lacked many of the features that made X what it is. And failed to grab the audience's attention for long.
Secret hack to write viral Twitter threads the easy way
While Threads has played catch-up with X, it still didn't feel like a platform for discussions. But that may change now as Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri recently announced that Threads is getting a Trending Now section.
The Popular Now section will be available from the app's search tab. This could replace the suggestions of people to follow or we could probably see a different layout. It will also be available from the For You section of the app. The feature is only available in the US as of now and is not generally available on the mobile app. However, you can try it on the web version.
This could be a game changer for Thread as the trending page plays a huge role in gaining traction in stories on any platform. X has established itself as the platform where the news comes first. This is because people can easily catch up with it through the trending section and hear their opinions. This makes the platform the hub of discussion on all topics on the internet.
