Threads is testing new features that interest you.

Threads accidentally launched the option to sort search results by the date they were published. Now it seems to be official.

The social network Threads, owned by Meta, is finally testing a “Recent” filter to sort search results based on the most recent posts.

Instagram CEO, Adam Mosseri stated on Monday that the implementation is part of a “limited test” and the feature is only available to some users.

“We are starting to test this with a small number of people, making it easier to search for relevant real-time results,” he said in response to a user.

What does changing from Recent to Threads imply?

A user who was part of the test posted that they could see the “Top” and “Recent” filters on the search results screen. However, Threads says that the “Recent” filter is not strictly chronological, but it is more suitable than the “Top” filter to view the latest posts.

Earlier this year, Threads accidentally launched the option to sort search results by the date they were published. At that time, the company stated that it was an “internal prototype available to a small number of people”.

Last November, Mosseri warned that Threads lacked the real-time search feature because it could create a “security loophole”. In other words, they wanted to prevent bots from spamming with keywords at all times, so they prefer to filter those comments and that’s why the search is not immediate.
