Threads "Following" tab is now availiable
Meta's Threads has succeeded incredibly since its release, but the application still lacks many features. Recently, Meta heard people's concerns, and according to the latest news, the company is adding a "Following" feed. The Threads "Following" tab is now available for everyone, and below you can find how to use it.
The ability to only see postings from people you follow is now available on Threads. This content will be organized in a feed using reverse chronological order. The feed only displays posts from people you follow and does not include any "suggested" posts from users you do not follow.
How to use the Threads "Following" tab
The "Following" feed in Threads has one restriction. You must first hit the "Home" button icon in the bottom toolbar to make the dedicated Following tab visible. To reveal the two distinct tabs, you can also hit the Threads logo at the top of the feed.
When you do this, the top will show two distinct tabs: "For You" and "Following." When you exit the Threads app, the choice doesn't seem to stay in place. This implies that you will have to carry out that procedure repeatedly. It's unclear whether this is a bug or not, but if you open the app again after it completely closes down, it defaults to the "For You" feed, so you'll need to know where to search to access the Following stream once more.
Threads an unknown error occurred: How to fix it
The iOS version of Threads no longer resets your entire feed when you refresh, which is another change. Your position in the stream stays the same, but fresh content is added to the top.
Threads has also added translations, according to a post by Zuckerberg on his Instagram broadcast channel. By tapping a tiny button in the lower right corner of a Threads post, you can obtain a translation. Your feed has previously only contained postings from users and brands that were selected by an algorithm, whether you liked it or not. Threads debuted with a very basic set of capabilities.

Uhh, this has already been possible – I am not sure how but remember my brother telling me about it. I’m not a whatsapp user so not sure of the specifics, but something about sending the image as a file and somehow bypassing the default compression settings that are applied to inbound photos.
He has also used this to share movies to whatsapp groups, and files 1Gb+.
Like I said, I never used whatsapp, but I know 100% this isn’t a “brand new feature”, my brother literally showed me him doing it, like… 5 months ago?
Martin, what happened to those: 12 Comments (https://www.ghacks.net/chatgpt-gets-schooled-by-princeton-university/#comments). Is there a specific justifiable reason why they were deleted?
Hmm, it looks like the gHacks website database is faulty, and not populating threads with their relevant cosponsoring posts.
The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk that it’s about to be deleted from my ‘daily reads’.
It’s really like “Press Release as re-written by some d*ck for clicks…poorly.” And the subjects are laughable. Can’t wait for “How to search for files on Windows”.
> The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk…
Sadly, I have to agree.
Only Martin and Ashwin are worth subscribing to.
Especially Emre Çitak and Shaun are the worst ones.
If ghacks.net intended “Clickbait”, it would mark the end of Ghacks Technology News.
Ghacks doesn’t need crappy clickbaits. Clearly separate articles from newer authors (perhaps AIs and external sales person or external advertising man) as just “Advertisements”!
We, the subscribers of Ghacks, urge Martin to make a decision.
because nevermore wants to “monetize” on every aspect of human life…
“Threads” is like the Walmart of Social Media.
How hard can it be to clone a twitter version of that as well? They’re slow.
Yes, why not mention how large the HD files can be?
Why, not mention what version of WhatsApp is needed?
These omissions make the article feel so bare. If not complete.
Sorry posted on the wrong page.
such a long article for such a simple matter. Worthless article ! waste of time
I already do this by attaching them via the ‘Document’ option.
I don’t know what’s going on here at Ghacks but it’s obvious that something is broken, comments are being mixed whatever the article, I am unable to find some of my later posts neither. :S
Quoting the article,
“As users gain popularity, the value of their tokens may increase, allowing investors to reap rewards.”
Besides, beyond the thrill and privacy risks or not, the point is to know how you gain popularity, be it on social sites as everywhere in life. Is it by being authentic, by remaining faithful to ourselves or is it to have this particular skill which is to understand what a majority likes, just like politicians, those who’d deny to the maximum extent compatible with their ideological partnership, in order to grab as many of the voters they can?
I see the very concept of this Friend.tech as unhealthy, propagating what is already an increasing flaw : the quest for fame. I won’t be the only one to count himself out, definitely.
@John G. is right : my comment was posted on [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/23/what-is-friend-tech/] and it appears there but as well here at [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/07/08/how-to-follow-everyone-on-threads/]
This has been lasting for several days. Fix it or at least provide some explanations if you don’t mind.

Firefox did this long before Safari.
Basically they’ll do anything except fair royalties.
