The Threads organisation team was initially reluctant to integrate the chronological display features. This is because popular hashtags often have profiles that spread misinformation and spam.
A statement from the head of Instagram and Threads, Adam Mosseri, suggests caution:
Threads tries, but still lags behind
With a growing user base of 150 million monthly active users, Threads is making progress. The strategic introduction of features such as chronological views underlines Meta’s determination to push Threads towards a billion users.
Threads aims to create a seamless chronological browsing experience that would dethrone Network X, which remains the stalwart for real-time updates.
