Threads is making it easier to follow multi-part posts

If you’re an active Threads user, you’ve probably seen a ton of new changes over the past few days: a newly increased 10,000-character limit, a text attachment feature, and now, as Threads said in a post on its site, the company is “making it easier to thread on Threads.”

Basically, it wasn’t always easy to post a multi-post Thread on the app — or to tell when someone else was doing that. Threads like these are a really helpful tool for people live-posting through an event, doing a live-watching of a show, or posting a multi-part story. Now, Threads is testing a change that “makes it easier to see a series of connected posts by adding a label that shows a post’s position in the thread.” For instance, a post might say “1/4” if it is the first of four posts in a Thread.

Threads is also showing threads in your profile a bit differently by allowing users to see the “first and second posts in a thread, followed by an indicator of the number of additional posts you’ve added.” And when someone clicks into your thread, they’ll see all of your responses in one place, with the intention of making it easier to keep track of the conversation.

“To share a multi-part thread, start by writing your first post in the composer. Then, tap “Add to thread” to keep building. Repeat as many times as you need to tell your story in a series of connected posts,” Threads explained.
