Threads' long-awaited web version is now available. This week, Meta announced that its Twitter rival will be available through browsers; now, the distribution has begun. Adam Mosseri, the CEO of Instagram, said on Thursday that all users may now access the upgrade.

As a result, you should check again if you've been excitedly checking threads.net in anticipation of its availability. Many Threads users have been dissatisfied by the absence of a web version up until this point. People have not been able to peruse their feeds, post, comment, or even log in to their accounts from browsers, even if it was possible to manually navigate to a single user's profile.

Many people have considered the app's absence of a web version to be a significant hurdle because of the app's sharp decline in engagement after its first debut. Although Mosseri recently stated that the team was ironing out some difficulties with the experience, both Mark Zuckerberg and Mosseri have been promising that a web version was high on their agenda for Threads.

It will be fascinating to watch which of the numerous "missing" features Threads gets next now that the online version is fully available. Users have also expressed dissatisfaction with the absence of hashtags and content search on Instagram and Twitter, where users can now only search for other users rather than individual postings.

The inclusion of DMs is one aspect, however, that appears doubtful. While Mosseri recently mentioned the prospect of integrating Instagram DMs into the Threads experience, he has previously stated that he is hesitant to introduce another mailbox to users' life. He did, however, clarify that post-editing tools are in the pipeline, so Threads users won't have to wait for an edit button for more than a decade.
