What to know

  • Threads has added direct messaging (DMs) for private conversations between users.
  • The feature lets you send text messages and share posts privately.
  • Threads reached 100 million users within its first week of launch.
  • This update aims to improve user interaction and engagement on the platform.

Threads, the social media app created by Meta, has introduced a new direct messaging feature. This allows you to send private messages to other users, making it easier to have one-on-one conversations without leaving the app.

With this update, you can also share posts directly through messages. This means if you see something interesting on Threads, you can quickly send it to a friend or a group privately.

The addition of DMs comes shortly after Threads achieved a significant milestone, reaching 100 million users in just its first week. This rapid growth shows strong interest in the platform, and the new messaging feature is designed to keep users engaged and connected.

Previously, Threads focused mainly on public posts and interactions, but with direct messaging, it now offers a more complete social experience similar to other platforms. You can expect smoother communication and better ways to share content privately.

This move by Meta aims to make Threads more competitive and appealing by combining public sharing with private conversations, all within the same app.
