Enhanced Desktop Functionality and Targeted Conversation Tracking Introduced by Threads

Threads, the messaging app by Instagram, has introduced new features including the ability to follow specific conversations, quote posts on desktop, and an updated post activity display. However, it still lags behind competitors like Twitter in terms of functionality and user base. The app has also faced criticism for its search restrictions, with certain keywords being censored. Despite these challenges, Threads has seen increased usage, possibly due to recent controversies involving Elon Musk. Its long-term success remains uncertain.
