Threads accidentally rolls out the feature to view latest search results

Multiple Threads users on the iOS app reported earlier today that they are seeing a new "Latest" option to sort search results on the new social network.

“Earlier today, an internal prototype was accidentally made available for a small number of people — this is not something we’re testing externally at this time,“ they said in a statement. In November, Instagram Head Adam Mosseri explained that Threads doesn’t have an option to search for the latest results as it will create a “safety loophole.” He had added that it’s possible to show results in chronological order but the social network then would need to weed out the bad quality content.
