Nearly three years after launching as a competitor to Twitter<\/a> (now X), Threads has reaches 500 million monthly active users, the company announced Tuesday. The Meta-owned social platform also announced a series<\/a> of new features launching today, including a \u201cYour Algo\u201d tool that lets users control what they see in their feed.<\/p>\n

The new Your Algo feature builds on the platform\u2019s \u201cDear Algo\u201d tool launched in February, which lets users tell Threads what they want to see more or less of in their feed by posting a public post such as, \u201cDear Algo, show me more posts about podcasts.\u201d With the new Your Algo feature, users can privately control what they see in their feed without having to share a public post. <\/p>\n

You can tell Threads you want to see more or less of certain topics and choose how long the request lasts: one, three, or seven days. Only you can see the requests. <\/p>\n

Your Algo is rolling out today in the U.S., Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand.<\/p>\n

By allowing users to temporarily influence what app<\/a>ears on their feeds, Threads gains an edge over X and other competitors by offering a feature that isn\u2019t available on rival platforms.<\/p>\n

Threads is also bringing \u201cCommunities\u201d out of beta and adding new requested features for it. Launched last year as a way to take on X, the feature give users dedicated spaces within the app where they can delve deeper into conversations on topics that matter to them like basketball, television, K-pop, books, and more. Now, users will be able to find communities through a new \u201cCommunities Hub.\u201d Additionally, communities now have their own distinct icons to make it easier to spot and recognize them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Discovery Hub is a way for us to try to get communities in front of more people,\u201d Instagram head Connor Hayes told TechCrunch. \u201cWe noticed that when folks use the app with a clear purpose and they find their people in the app quickly, it\u2019s just a better experience for them. One of the challenges that they\u2019ve had since we launched that feature over the last year was that it\u2019s hard to organically find the communities that matter to you sometimes. So, the Discovery Hub is a big one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Threads also announced that it\u2019s expanding Live Chats to more communities alongside the ability to co-host chats and quote moments to your feed. Launched in April, Live Chats allow for real-time conversations during cultural events like the Fifa World Cup. By July, all communities will be able to start Live Chats. <\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the positive pieces of feedback that we get from a lot of people about Threads is that they appreciate the quietness of the app in a world where a lot of social is video-centric and loud. And so these Live Chats have been a nice second screen companion experience for people that are watching stuff, but want to follow along with commentary while they do so,\u201d Hayes said.<\/p>\n

The expansion of Live Chats will help Threads close the gap with X when it comes to real-time conversations. Unlike X, which has long served as a global \u201ctown square\u201d of sorts for breaking news<\/a> and live events, Threads lagged behind X in terms of relevance and timeliness when it first launched because it lacked many of the features that X had, such as robust search, hashtags, and a chronological feed. However, it has added these features over time, and is now looking to better compete with X through the addition of a feature that even the Elon Musk-owned app doesn\u2019t have.<\/p>\n

In terms of the new MAU milestone, it shows that Threads was able to add 100 million monthly users in the past 10 months, as the company said in August 2025 that it had 400 million monthly active users.<\/p>\n

Threads\u2019 growth comes as the platform has shipped numerous new features over the past year, such as DMs, ghost posts, desktop messaging, and more. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
