Threads Likely To Add Direct Message Feature On Its App: All You Need To Know – News18

Meta’s social media platform Threads is reportedly planning to introduce a function just like the rival platform Twitter. According to studies, Mark Zuckerberg’s new micro-blogging platform is engaged on Direct Messaging or DMs, a function that may be accessed by customers to ship messages privately on the identical platform.

Initially, Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri introduced that this function is not going to be coming to Threads anytime quickly. Now, a report from Business Insider shared a leaked inner memo from Instagram, which hints that DMs could be “coming quickly” to Threads.

Apart from this, the memo also suggested that the Threads will also get some other features. Moreover, social media analyst Matt Navarra also took to Twitter to share a part of the document that claims the same. However, the company is yet to officially announce a timeline as to when the feature may show up on the platform, the report said.

Threads’ new feature, DMs will enable users to have private conversations about sensitive topics they prefer not to discuss publicly. Previously, Threads users had to switch to a different app for private discussions. Users are also reportedly not choosing Meta’s other apps like Messenger or Instagram for doing so.

Threads App is available for both iPhones and Android smartphones. You can log in using your Instagram account and posts can be up to 500 characters long and include links, photos, and videos up to 5 minutes in length. Threads users can follow and connect with friends and creators who share their interests, including the people they follow on Instagram.

Also, users under 16 (or under 18 in certain countries) will be defaulted into a private profile when they join the app. In Threads, users have the ability to control who can mention or reply to them. Users on Threads can add specific words to filter out replies that contain those words in their threads.
