Threads Just Leveled Up: New Home at Threads.com + Web App Upgrades You’ll Actually Care About

Big moves are happening in the world of Threads — Meta’s (aka Instagram’s parent company) baby social network and official X (formerly Twitter) rival. 🚀

First headline news:
Threads has officially packed its bags and moved to a shiny new address: Threads.com! Yup, no more Threads.net confusion. You can now type Threads.com into your browser like a boss and land right where you want to be — no sneaky redirects involved.

Here’s the quick tea:
When Threads first launched in July 2023, Threads.com was already taken by a startup trying to be the next Slack. (Awkward.) So Meta had to settle for Threads.net. Fast forward: that startup got acquired by Shopify, Meta swooped in, and boom — Threads.com now belongs to them. 💥

Starting today, typing Threads.net will actually just bounce you to Threads.com. Way cleaner. Way cooler. Way easier to remember when you’re trying to convince your friends to finally leave X.

Why This Actually Matters
This is more than just a vanity URL flex. Having a slick, memorable domain like Threads.com makes the platform feel bigger, stronger, faster — like it’s truly here to compete. And with over 320 million monthly users (as of January, casual flex by Meta), Threads is seriously starting to bite at X’s ankles.

And Wait, There’s More: New Threads Web App Features 🎉
Instagram boss Adam Mosseri (basically the principal of Threads High School) also dropped some web app updates to sweeten the deal:

✨ Custom Feeds, Now in Order:
Your custom feeds now show up in the same order on web as they do on the mobile app. No more hunting and pecking around. Consistency is the vibe.

✨ Easy Access to Likes and Saves:
You can finally access your liked and saved posts from the main menu — no need to create weird pinned columns just to see the stuff you loved. About time!

✨ Copy Posts as Images:
Instead of screenshotting like a peasant, you can now copy a Threads post directly as an image. Insta-stories, group chats, mood boards — unleash chaos.

✨ New Column Button:
Want to organize your Threads view like a pro? There’s now a little column icon chilling on the right side. Click it. Boom — new column.

✨ Quick-Compose Posts:
Feeling inspired? Hit the brand-new + button in the bottom right and instantly open a window to post. Go ahead, drop that hot take. 🔥

✨ Find Your Favorite X Creators:
Miss your fave accounts from X? Threads has your back. Now, you can upload your X archive and find the same creators over on Threads. (This feature is still being tested but sounds like a total game-changer.)

TL;DR: Threads is Getting Its Act Together
✅ New, easy-to-remember domain: Threads.com
✅ Web app that doesn’t make you want to rage-quit
✅ More tools to find, post, and vibe with your internet friends

Basically, Threads is growing up. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to actually use it…this might be it.

Are you team Threads yet, or still clinging to X for dear life? 👀
