Threads Unveils Global Rollout of Tagging Feature, Revolutionizing Hashtags

Threads, the social network from Meta, is introducing tags that function like hashtags but without the hash symbol. Users can add tags to their posts, which can be words or phrases with spaces, and can use special characters. Tags make posts more discoverable in searches, but users can only tag one topic per post to prevent spam. Meta plans to launch Threads in the European Union this month.
