Threads: Instagram's New Features Challenge Twitter and Microsoft Teams
Instagram's text-sharing app, Threads, is set to introduce new features including Twitter-style hashtags, an edit button, a trending page, and possibly an automatic archiving function. The addition of clickable hashtags aims to enhance discoverability and community engagement, while the auto-archiving feature could encourage more candid conversations. Threads also plans to be compatible with ActivityPub, allowing for interoperability with other apps that support the protocol. These updates aim to enhance the user experience and create a more interconnected social media landscape.
