Users will now be able to experience the convenience of translating messages into different languages and provide uninterrupted communication.

The update also adds repost tags, allowing users to personalize their content sharing experience.
Additionally, the Instagram follower list has been integrated into Topics, providing users with consolidated information about their social connections across all meta platforms.
In addition to these new features, Meta is working to fix user-reported bugs and improve the overall speed and performance of the app. These improvements are aimed at providing a smoother and more enjoyable user experience.
Threads are losing users
A day ago, Threads had a significant drop in popularity, and it happened in an extremely short period of time. Recent reports show that the platform’s user engagement has dropped by a staggering 60%, less than two weeks after launch, shortly after it crossed the 100 million user mark.
Analysts attribute this decline to declining interest in Topics among users who do not see their value and purpose. Initial enthusiasm surrounding the new social network appears to have dispersed, leaving little trace of activity seen at launch. Critics point out that the censorship practices, a controversial issue in Mark Zuckerberg’s other projects, may have contributed to Threads’ less attractiveness.
As Meta seeks to restore user trust and rekindle interest in the platform, Threads’ future remains uncertain. It is not yet clear how the upcoming update and any future changes will affect the course of this young social network in the competitive social media landscape.
