Threads is rolling out a new test in the US that shows a list of popular topics that other users are discussing, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced in a post on Threads. The list will appear on the search page and in the For You feed, allowing you to browse through posts about a particular topic.
In addition to testing a way to save posts, Meta recently said it will add controls to limit political content recommendations on Threads.
