Meta - owned social web Threads is finally testing a “ Recent ” filter to sort hunt answer based on the most recent posts . Instagram head Adam Mosserinotedon Monday that the rollout is part of a “ special tryout , ” and the lineament has been made available to only a few users .
“ We ’re part to test this with a small number of hoi polloi , so it ’s well-situated to receive relevant search outcome in tangible - clock time , ” he enunciate in a reply to a user .
Threads has not yet successfully cloned X ’s real - time nature , even though it ’s assay to woo former Twitter users to its platform by offering like lineament , like text - focalise Wiley Post , bookmarks , reposts , quote posts , and more . However , Meta has deprioritized political address — a pop topic on X — saying itwouldn’t advocate that content to users . In addition , its For You feed includes days - previous posts , at times . When news show breaks , Threads can feel far behind . For example , when the NYC / NJ seism hit , ittook half a sidereal day or so to dispatch the app ’s swerve section .
A user in the new testsaidthey could see “ Top ” and “ late ” filters on the hunt upshot screen . They noted that the “ Recent ” filter is n’t purely chronological , but it ’s well suited than the “ Top ” filter for see unexampled posts .
Earlier this yr , Threads accidentally rolled out the selection tosort search results by recency . At that sentence , the company said it was an “ internal prototype available for a small figure of masses . ”
Last November , Mosseri cautioned that Threads lacked the feature to search for material - time results because it could make a“safety loophole . ”
“ To clear up , have a comprehensive lean of * every * mail with a specific word in chronological rules of order inevitably means spammer and other bad player biff the view with mental object by simply adding the relevant words or tags . And before you ask why we do n’t take down that bad content , understand there ’s a lot more content that people do n’t want to see than we can or should take down , ” Mosseri sound out then .
