Threads App Gets TweetDeck-Like Ability to Create Dedicated Feeds

Threads is currently rolling out a new way for users of its iOS app to create dedicated feeds based on search results, similar to how it works for Threads on the web.

instagram threads app
When a search is performed, the new option in the app lets users bookmark the search, after which it lives on in the Home tab, alongside the For You and Following feeds.

The feature has been available for a while on the Threads web view for desktop, where users could pin multiple customized columns, similar to the TweetDeck feature that used to be available on Twitter. The new addition for the iOS app is rolling out now, so you will probably want the latest app update installed so that you don't miss out when it arrives in your region.

Threads has been around for over a year now. When it launched back in July 2023, the experience was very barebones, but Meta has worked to add new functionality on a regular basis to put the social network on a more level pegging with X (Twitter).


It has since gained a web app, the ability to search for posts chronologically, a post editing feature, built-in translation, fediverse integration, fast account switching, and more.

The gradual trickle of new features appears to be paying off: The app now has more than 175 million active monthly users, according to Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg.

I know people get triggered with Elon Musk and wish Twitter would cease to exist. But hoping to give even more data to Zuckerberg is crazy. Apple tries to push Threads as the most downloaded in the App Store but we all know nobody uses.

Stop using Facebook, Instagram. Don’t install threads and if possible, convince your family and friends to use Signal instead of WhatsApp. Last one is wishful thinking.

Without getting political, it’s popular with a certain group of people that prefer regulated content.

Yes, it's actually extremely active and popular. Actively growing too. It will take a lot and a long time to reach the content and legacy of Twitter's 15+ years of content, though. But it's very good.

My biggest issue with it is that it requires an Instagram account. I made a second IG just to have a Threads account where my personal followers don't recognize me.
