A number of Threads users on the iOS app reported earlier as we speak that they’re seeing a brand new “Latest” choice to kind search outcomes on the brand new social community.

Nevertheless, the corporate informed TechCrunch that the function was simply an inside prototype and it was rolled out by mistake.

“Earlier as we speak, an inside prototype was by accident made out there for a small variety of individuals — this isn’t one thing we’re testing externally right now,“ they stated in an announcement.

In November, Instagram Head Adam Mosseri defined that Threads doesn’t have an choice to seek for the newest outcomes as it should create a “safety loophole.”

“To clarify, having a comprehensive list of *every* post with a specific word in chronological order inevitably means spammers and other bad actors pummel the view with content by simply adding the relevant words or tags,” Mosseri stated at the moment. “And before you ask why we don’t take down that bad content, understand there’s a lot more content that people don’t want to see than we can or should take down.”

He had added that it’s potential to point out ends in chronological order however the social community then would want to weed out the dangerous high quality content material.

Threads first began testing the ability to search for posts in Australia and New Zealand in August 2023. In September final yr, Meta rolled out the search to nearly all English and Spanish-speaking countries the place the social community was out there. In December, the corporate expanded the search to all languages together with the launch in the EU later in the month.
