Threads tests personalized feeds for your favorite topics

Threads is testing a way to create personalized feeds for certain profiles or topics, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, announced Friday. The upcoming feature should make it easier to keep tabs on different interests, such as your favorite sports team or even tech-related news.

This looks similar to the custom feeds feature Bluesky rolled out last year – but Threads’ version seems a lot simpler. To create a custom feed, simply find and tap a topic. From there, select the three-dot icon next to the search term and choose “create new feed.”

You can create feeds that follow football or men’s fashion.

You can also add profiles to your personalized feed by selecting the three-dot icon above a person’s profile photo and tapping “Add to Feed.” Threads will then allow you to choose which feed you want to add the profile to. Your personalized feeds will then appear in the same main menu bar as your “For You” and “Next” tabs. However, there is still no way to set these custom feeds or your “Next” feed as the default view.

“Personalized feeds will display a combination of posts from the profiles you’ve added and search results for the selected topic,” said Threads spokesperson Alec Booker. The edge. “These are displayed in reverse chronological order.” The test is being rolled out to a small number of people around the world, but Booker says Threads hopes to bring it to more users “soon.”
