Meta is finally allowing Threads users to set the following feed or any custom feeds as the default. The change is part of a number of new Threads features, including the ability to now limit post replies to followers only, a better video player, and the option to add topics in your bio.
Threads users have been asking to be able to set the following feed as default ever since the social media network launched in December 2023, and Meta is finally giving in. After testing the option to choose a default feed late last year, it’s now rolling out so that you can set a custom feed or following as default, and it will remain even when you close and reopen the app.

Threads is also getting more options for managing how people interact with your posts. You’ll now be able to limit replies and quote-posts to just your followers, which can help limit the amount of people that engage and share your posts.
Meta is also testing the ability to add up to 10 topics to your bio, so you can list favorite communities or interests for others to see. Drafts will also include prompts to suggest adding a trending topic. “According to our internal data, posts with tagged topics generally receive more views than those that without one, making them an effective way to help you reach more people,” Meta says.
Lastly, the Threads video player is getting a much-needed upgrade. It now has pause, play, and skip buttons, and Meta has added a pinned progress bar so it’s easier to scrub through videos.
