Update (4/8/2023) – HA
Already a month old, Threads is about to receive its web version and an advanced search function, said Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, and who has been working on promoting the app since the beginning. According to him, the news is expected for the coming weeks.
For now, you can only browse Threads entirely through its mobile app — on desktop, you can see some posts, but features are limited. The platform has already received features such as built-in translation and a chronological feed that only shows content from accounts you follow.
Last week, the head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri, had already confirmed that the team behind Threads is working on a web version of the platform. For an instant, Threads user profiles across the web showed reply buttons. While clicking the buttons did nothing, it was a huge clue that the web version would be coming soon.
In the field of research, the only thing users can search now is other accountswith no way to search for specific posts or words, which will be fixed shortly.
Unfortunately for Apple users, there are no indications that Threads will get an iPad or Mac app anytime soon. One of the engineers working at Meta said that the team is experimenting with a Mac version internally, but that the app is “bugged and not worth investing time to fix” as they have more important things to fix.

Threads has focused on the app and should launch a web version soon, says Instagram boss
After celebrating the success of the recently launched Threads, the head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri, confirmed that initially the focus of the social network will be on improving its app for Android and iOS.
For the executive, the social network still has problems to solve in its app, but this has not hindered the development of the web version. Mosseri does not mention when, but says that the Web Threads should be official “soon”.
Currently, when the user searches for “threads.net” he accesses a website where there is only a QR Code for those who want to install the application on their smartphone.

Mosseri points out that he understands that many people like to have an experience close to what Twitter offers, especially those users who seek to use the social network for work.
Therefore, the web version should not take long to be made official, but the executive asked for “patience”, since the social network is new and also needs to receive several features that are still missing.
It is worth remembering that Threads has been working with a large team recently hired by Meta and this could end up resulting in a legal dispute with Twitter. That’s because Elon Musk’s social network accuses Zuckerberg’s company of hiring its former employees to copy its secrets.
