Mark Zuckerberg has announced that Threads is finally bringing the keyword search functionality to “most English and Spanish-speaking countries.”
The recent expansion follows a week-long testing phase in Australia and New Zealand. Prior to this update, Threads had only allowed users to find friends with the search feature. This new development hints at Threads’ aspirations of becoming a more comprehensive social network platform, further contesting Twitter (who is now your X) in the social media rat race.
The announcement also suggests that more countries will soon gain access. But it’s also worth noting that “most English and Spanish-speaking countries” remain vague in terms of who will see the feature first. We will just have to keep our eyes peeled for further updates from Meta and Threads.
