Meta is rolling out updates to improve the way threaded conversations appear on its social network Threads. Until now, users have often struggled to determine whether a post is part of a longer discussion or how many posts are included in a thread.
New features for better navigation
The company confirmed it has introduced “several changes that display threaded posts more clearly.” One of the main additions is a “view more” label that signals when a post is part of a longer chain. This makes it easier for users to identify if a thought continues beyond the first post.
Another key update is the automatic stacking of posts within a thread. When users click into a series, the posts now appear back-to-back with a cleaner layout. Each entry also displays a number showing its position in the thread, along with the total number of posts. This removes the need for users to manually label their posts with phrases such as “part one of 12.”
These updates are being released across both mobile and web versions of the platform in the coming weeks.
Responding to a growing audience
Threads has seen rapid growth since its launch, recently surpassing 400 million active monthly users. With more people engaging in longer discussions, Meta has been under pressure to improve how conversations are presented.
In addition to threaded post improvements, the platform has been experimenting with new tools that allow users to share more detailed content. One of the most notable changes is the ability to attach text documents of up to 10,000 characters. This feature provides more space for longer reflections, essays, or detailed updates without splitting them into multiple posts.
Meta’s focus on usability
Meta’s latest changes reflect its ongoing efforts to make Threads more user-friendly as the network scales. By redesigning threads to be clearer and easier to navigate, the company hopes to encourage richer conversations and reduce confusion for readers.
The updates also align with Meta’s broader strategy of positioning Threads as a direct competitor to other text-based platforms. With a steadily growing audience, improving the experience of following extended conversations could be key to keeping users engaged.
