Threads, Instagram’s messaging app, has added a new Following feed that shows posts only from accounts that a user follows. This was a highly requested feature from users. To access the Following feed, users tap the home icon or Threads logo at the top of the app. However, when reopening the app, it reverts back to the default For You feed, so users must remember to switch to the Following feed. The update also added translation features, allowing users to translate posts by tapping a button. The launch of Threads originally only had a For You feed based on algorithm recommendations, so the Following feed is a welcome addition for users wanting a curated feed.

There was so much garbage in my feed it was unusable at launch. I’m glad they changed their mind.
