You can’t simply depart Threads within the Following feed

The brand-new Following feed in Meta’s Threads received’t at all times stick round if it’s your most well-liked approach to make use of the app.

The much-needed Following feed is sadly a bit hidden: you may make it seem by tapping the house icon on the backside of the display screen or the Threads emblem on the high. When you see it, you possibly can swap between “Following,” which reveals posts in reverse-chronological order, and “For You,” which is the algorithmically sorted feed the app has provided since launch.

However a number of of us at The Verge observed that Threads will often rehide the Following feed and produce you again to the For You feed after you open the app. (You’ll be able to take a look at it for your self by drive closing and reopening the app.) Sadly, it seems like that’s by design, primarily based on a press release from Meta.

“For You is the default expertise once you open the Threads app,” Meta spokesperson Seine Kim tells The Verge. We’ve requested Kim if Meta plans so as to add a strategy to set Following as a default sooner or later.

Having no strategy to make Following the default is a very annoying determination if you wish to often use the app to get caught up on the newest information. Though, provided that Instagram boss Adam Mosseri has mentioned that Threads isn’t for information and politics, this For You / Following habits maybe shouldn’t come as a shock. (Instagram additionally deprioritizes the Following feed by hiding it behind a nondescript arrow subsequent to the Instagram emblem.)
