Threads adds a ‘media’ tab and the ability to tag people in photos

The company announced on Thursday that it's introducing a dedicated "media" tab and the ability for users to tag people in the photos they share.

Meta’s newer social network Threads announced on Thursday that it’s introducing a dedicated “media” tab for both photos and videos, only days after its rivals, including X(formerly Twitter) and the startup Bluesky, did the same for videos. Instagram head Adam Mosseri said in a post on Threads that the new media tab will allow others to quickly see all of the photos and videos you have shared on the social network. The increase is notable, considering that Bluesky is seeing a slowdown in growth, as the social network grew less than 10% month-over-month in December 2024, compared with the rapid 189% growth in November, according to market intelligence firm Similarweb.
