How to filter your Threads to show only the ones from people you follow

(Image credit- Yahoo News Singapore) Here's how to filter out all other threads and just view those from people you follow. The social networking platform Threads has arrived, but if you've downloaded the app and are wondering why your feed is filled with posts from strangers, don't worry. Since Threads' inception, we're here to show you how to use this fast hack to view Threads from individuals you follow first. As we all know, Instagram's new Twitter rival is called Threads. The newest social networking platform, developed by Meta, which also owns Facebook, allows you to post, share, and reply to messages in a maximum of 500 characters. If you currently use Instagram, you will receive automatic followers when you join up for Threads.   [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="1248"] Image credit- Mashable[/caption] However, users who downloaded the app when it was initially released earlier this week were in for a small surprise. And the surprise is that Threads users were greeted with Threads from strangers instead of a feed of known faces. Although this tool is an outstanding way to find new accounts and content to follow, for some it felt like a party where only one or two people were well-known. Unfortunately, unlike competitor Twitter, there is no way to restrict the people who appear on your Threads timeline to those you are following. Although Meta has stated that they would roll out this feature soon, we now have a hack that will limit your alerts and threads to only those you follow.
