Threads Accidentally Introduces Chronological Search Feature
Meta claims the feature, which allows users to view search results in reverse chronological order, was an internal prototype mistakenly made available to a small number of users.
- Meta's microblogging platform, Threads, recently updated its iOS app to include an option for users to view search results in reverse chronological order.
- The feature was initially released as an 'internal prototype' and was 'accidentally made available for a small number of people,' according to a Meta spokesperson.
- Instagram head Adam Mosseri previously stated that the company had no plans to introduce chronological search to Threads, citing it as a potential 'safety loophole.'
- The new feature allows users to choose whether they want to see search results based on suggestions or recent posts, and also applies to viewing posts within tags.
- Despite the accidental release, the company claims it has no immediate plans to make the ability to sort search results in chronological order available to the public.
