Threads on the web has a new address. Now, you can access the Meta-owned network by heading to Threads.com instead of Threads.net.
The move will likely make it easier for users to find the website, as traffic to an unrelated messaging app startup, “Threads.com,” spiked following the platform’s launch. Meta finally acquired the “Threads.com” domain last September, but didn’t start redirecting users to the site until now.
Along with this change, Meta is making a few updates to the site, as it will now display your custom feeds in the same order you’ve arranged them on mobile. You can also find your liked and saved posts from the site’s main menu icon instead of pinning a column for them on your homepage.
Threads is also testing a new feature where you can upload a list of people you follow on other apps, starting with X, allowing you to find their profiles on Threads. You can now copy Threads posts as images as well, which will let you paste them into other platforms like Instagram. Additionally, the web app is introducing a new icon on the right side of the screen to add columns, along with a new “+” button in the bottom-right corner that you can use to create posts.
These aren’t the only major changes Threads has made this week, as the platform began rolling out ads more broadly across 30 countries, including the US. It also started letting users set their following or custom feeds as their default last month.
