This Thursday (16), Threads gained another function that brings it even closer to the old Twitter (now X). The social network linked to Instagram is receiving support for hashtags to help users search on the platform.

The arrival of hashtags could also mean another parallel function is about to come to fruition: the well-known Trending Topics. Recently, an app developer found images of the potential new feature in use. The photos would have been accidentally shared by a Meta employee.
Trending, which lists trending topics, is one of the best-known tools on X, formerly Twitter. With the addition of hashtags, Threads gets even closer to Elon Musk’s platform, becoming a more complete alternative to its rival.
New features in Threads
In addition to hashtag blindness, Threads also recently gained the option to delete the profile without affecting the Instagram account, in addition to allowing the account to be deactivated. The lack of the feature was the subject of controversy when the app was launched, as it forced the user to remain with linked profiles. Understand better here!
Another change driven by user complaints was the end of crossover between Meta apps. The social network gained a button that offers more control over so-called growth hacking, a subfield of marketing focused on the rapid growth of a company or platform. Find out details here!
