Threads might be getting DMs soon after all
While Instagram might be making a big U-turn on bringing messaging to Threads, it’s probably a good one. While DMs can be problematic, it is a good way for people to take something off of public and into private conversation. Right now, people are having to jump to a different app to do so and are likely not always choosing Meta’s Messenger app. I’m sure that they’d like to fix that.
Messaging, trends, topics, and improved search aren’t the only things that are “coming soon” to Threads. The company has already, including support for multiple accounts, support for federated apps like Mastodon, a chronological feed of only people you follow, the ability to delete your Threads account without deleting Instagram, support for hashtags, and, of course, the ability to edit a post.
Excited?! Don’t get too excited too fast. There is absolutely no timeline on any of these features — externally, at least — just yet, so we may have a bit to wait until we get some of these in our hands.
