Threads is finally getting a DM inbox

Mark Zuckerberg said today that Meta's social network Threads is finally testing a separate DM inbox that is separate from your Instagram DM Inbox.

The company will initially test this feature in limited geographies, including Hong Kong, Thailand, and Argentina, with plans to roll it out in other locations soon. But after more than 20 months of existence, the company realized that people were forming different kinds of networks on Threads, due to its public nature and similarities with other short-form apps like X and Bluesky. Meta said that it decided to create a separate DM inbox feature because Threads users were asking for a way to have one-on-one conversations without having to switch apps.
