Threads is rolling out a redesign that keeps your feeds visible on the home screen, Instagram head Adam Mosseri announced on Wednesday. The redesign allows you to quickly swipe between different feeds just like you can on X.

The change is rolling out on Android on Wednesday, and will launch on iOS in the coming days.

“Following is now just a swipe away, and you can easily swipe between any of your custom feeds,” Mosseri said in the announcement. “This may look like a small change, but it should make navigating the app much simpler.”

The latest feature builds on updates that Threads has rolled out over the past two weeks. A few days ago, the social network began testing the option for users to choose their For You, Following, or a custom feed as default. The test was a long time coming, as users requested the option to set their Following feed as default since Threads’ launch last year.

In addition, Threads rolled out custom feeds last week to allow people to curate feeds around specific topics or certain user profiles. It will also now surface more content from people you follow in the app’s “For You” algorithmic feed in response to complaints from users who wanted to see less content from people they don’t follow.

Threads is also working on a featurethat’s similar to Bluesky’s “Starter Packs,” which are curated lists of recommended users for people to follow when they first join the app.

All of these changes come as Meta is increasingly seeing bluesky, a decentralized X competitor, as a serious threat. Meta has been moving quickly to update Threads at a time when many X users are moving to Bluesky, which has recently surpassed 20 million users.

Good, cause I uninstalled it due to constantly seeing "let me bonce on it as a friend"
 
Think I've heard of this, but never used it.
