Meta is streamlining Threads with new features designed to improve the experience of following and engaging with lengthy post series. Rolling out soon for both mobile and web users, the updates automatically stack posts within a thread, displaying each post’s number and the total count in the series – eliminating the need for manual numbering. The move comes as Threads continues its rapid growth, recently surpassing 400 million monthly active users and prompting Meta to add features accommodating the expanding audience, including support for attaching text documents up to 10,000 characters.
The new stacking feature addresses a common pain point for users following detailed discussions or unfolding stories on threads, offering a clearer and more organized way to navigate multi-part posts.This enhancement, alongside recent additions like extended text post capabilities, signals Meta’s commitment to developing Threads as a robust platform for longer-form content and sustained conversations, positioning it as a direct competitor to platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and evolving social media habits.
