The latest social media platform Threads by Meta is experimenting with a new feature that allows users to follow accounts similar to those on X, but within Threads. Meta representatives have stated that the company is testing a tool that helps users track accounts from other platforms within Threads, providing a uniform experience for users. The tool is currently in beta testing with a limited group.
Researcher Jane Manchun Wong, a former employee of Meta, has detailed how this feature works. Users are required to download a list of accounts they follow on X before importing this list into Threads. The platform will then search for the same accounts on X. It is important to note that Meta has not disclosed the exact method, but has confirmed that only popular accounts with a large following are currently supported.
TLDR: Threads by Meta is testing a new feature that allows users to follow accounts from other platforms within Threads, providing a uniform experience. The tool is currently in beta testing with a limited group.
