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.
