As rival Bluesky continues to add users, Mark Zuckerberg announced that Threads will test letting users set the Following feed as their default.
Threads will now let users decide what feed they want as their default when opening the app. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the news in a post, saying that you’ll be able to choose between For You, Following, or any custom feed that you’ve set up. Zuckerberg’s post notes that Threads is “testing” this option and will also different feeds “more visible” in the app.
If you’re in the test, here’s how to set your default feed: open the Threads app and tap and hold on any feed at the top. From there, choose “edit feeds,” and that’s where you’ll be able to reorder them. Whichever feed you put in the first slot will appear whenever you open Threads. Increased competition from Bluesky has sparked many recent improvements to Threads, including a reworking of the For You algorithm to focus more on accounts you actually follow and less on suggested content.
