Threads tests a bookmarking feature just like the one Instagram has،

Instagram Threads is experimenting with a new feature that mirrors the functionality found on Instagram proper: the ability to save posts for later viewing. Announced by Instagram head Adam Mosseri, the limited test allows users to favorite their posts via a three-dot menu in the upper right corner.

This latest update includes a new save feature that complements the existing favorites option on Instagram. Similar to Instagram's existing favorites system, users will have a “save” button to store posts and find them later in a dedicated section in the app's settings. This feature could be incredibly useful for returning to content, especially posts with links to longer articles, at a more convenient time. This addition responds to user requests and aims to improve the organization within the application.

Since its launch last year, Threads has continued to add new features to attract users and stay competitive with X and other social networks. Threads is currently missing some features like direct messaging, advanced search filters, and list building.

However, the app recently introduced searchable tags, the ability to see all the articles you liked on the web version, and rumors are circulating about the possible inclusion of a chronological search and trending topics. The latter is however viewed with great caution due to spam issues, but internal prototypes are still spotted.

Despite these shortcomings, Threads has amassed an impressive 130 million monthly users, according to a recent report. Statement from Mark Zuckerberg – and has recently seen an increase in app downloads. Zuckerberg sees Threads as a potential platform for Meta, and adding the bookmarking feature is a small step in that direction. It remains to be seen what high-demand features Threads will launch next, but we hope this approach of listening to the community's wants and needs will pay off in the long run for the platform.
