The development comes at a time when the platform is experiencing a significant decline in its active user base.
Threads, the Meta Platforms-built Twitter-rival that was introduced earlier this month, has already received its first major update, with the development coming at a time when the platform, which became the fastest app to reach the 100 million user-mark (five days after July 5 launch), is experiencing a significant decline in its active user base.
The updates are for the Threads app on iOS, and were announced by Cameron Roth, a software engineer at the Meta-owned Instagram, which developed Threads.
