It was noted in last month’s testing, and now Threads has officially announced his new in-stream counter for messages in a thread, making it easier to understand how long each series of messages is in the app.
As you can see in this example, Threads rolls one Auto-invested thread count to your linked messages, which indicates how many messages there are in the full series and where the reader is planning.
So instead of manually entering “1/3” or the thread -emoji, threads will now add this significant to you, making it easier to actually make threads.
As you can see in this example, the numbering helps to guide users, while Threads now also ensure that threaded messages are displayed together in the series.
It is therefore an improvement for threads on threads, which, unlike the recent addition of 10K tickets such as attachments, can be expanded, so that you can expand your updates. That goes against the name, because a longer post-style post embedded in your update is not a thread at all. And although that is usually semantics, it is good to add Threads a function that relates to actually threading, if only for thematic purposes.
It will even work if you go back to a thread and add more (or get messages), update the number of posts in reflection of your changes.
Moreover, threads on user profiles will now also Group the first two messages with a label “View More”, with a new indicator of Threaded messages in the app.
It is a handy update that could help users understand how they can explore the full context of each message, while they can also provide manual user behavior that already exists.
So, not a world defender, sure. But in combination with longer text notes, it is a different way for threads to be a little smarter in how users can share updates than a single message.
