Web version of the Threads app

Web version of the Threads app

Threads' web version is released by Meta.


In order to allow users to access the platform through web browsers, Meta announced the introduction of the Threads application's web version. Users will be able to access the web version in the coming days.


The new platform is one step closer to offering the same capabilities as its competitor X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, and this update, which has been hotly sought by users since the app was launched last month for mobile devices exclusively, could help re-grow users after slow period.


According to Meta, "Thirds users will soon be able to log in, post, view, and interact with other posts via a computer browser, as we roll out the web version to users in the coming days."


Future enhancements to the web version are planned by the company. It was feasible to post across the platform during early access testing of some of the web-based functions, but scrolling to read postings is still not possible.


With the help of months of Twitter upheaval, Meta debuted Threads in early July to astounding success, attracting more than 100 million registrations in its first week.


When users discovered that the network still lacked many of the features that made Twitter successful, including as trending topics, search functionality, and direct messaging, the excitement about it began to wane a little.


Meta routinely publishes tiny changes, but the web version can encourage visitors to return.


After Elon Musk, the owner of the X platform, received criticism from users for advocating that the platform's blocking feature be removed, the new web version may also cause the X platform to experience new competitive issues.


Employees at Meta have been claiming that a web version of Threads is being created and tested internally for weeks. Adam Mosseri, who oversees both Threads and the Instagram platform, mentioned last week that he was writing from the web version and said it might be available soon, but it still needs development.


The web version of the app is only one of several recent additions as Meta works to develop the new platform.


The business also just launched a chronological follow-up feed, a button to share Threads articles via Instagram Direct Messages, and new Reposts and Likes tabs that display users' re-shared and liked posts on profiles.
