Instagram Threads is set to introduce an edit button, which is currently missing, and other features such as Twitter-like hashtags and a trending page, among others. According to Adam Mosseri, Instagram head, these upcoming features are confirmed to arrive on Threads. It should be noted that hashtag is how a topic trends on Twitter and this is missing on Instagram Threads as of now. Meta's other suite of apps like Instagram and Facebook have supported hashtags for many years.

While responding to a query related to the "Following" tab, the Instagram head said: "We're working on it, but the next week is all about getting rid of bugs and keeping the lights on..."

"We've got to build a following feed over the next couple weeks, but I do think a lot of why people are getting so much engagement right now is because you don't need to follow a bunch of people in order to discover a bunch of new accounts in feed," Mosseri added while replying.

Instagram Threads, the new Twitter rival has 100 million registered users within just five days of launch amid declining popularity of Elon Musk-owned Twitter. According to tracker Quiver Quantitative, there are more than 100 million users on Threads now. It should be noted that Twitter started showing some content to visitors even without logging in to an account, which was not available for them before the launch of Instagram Threads which is being seen as a potential threat to Twitter. Meta CEO and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg had said last week that Threads attracted over two million users in a few hours.

Instagram Threads has outpaced OpenAI’s ChatGPT AI chatbot which went viral and became the fastest-growing product by garnering 10 million daily users in 40 days and 100 million monthly users in almost two months. However, Instagram Threads has now become the fastest-growing platform, having crossed the milestone of 100 million monthly active users (MAUs).
