This was confirmed via a post by Mark Zuckerberg earlier today in reply to yet another post requesting the feature. Immediately after, several users began to report that they could see the following tab available in their home feed, as well as follow-up post by the official Threads account in the app.
Note, however, that the following tab isn’t immediately noticeable when you launch the app as it is hidden behind a clever little trick. To see the new feed you will need to either tap on the Threads logo at the top of the feed, or tap on the Home icon on the bottom left. Tapping on either one of these will reveal the new “Following” tab right beside the existing “For You” feed.
In addition, to the new feed, this update introduces new features such as translations, notification filters, an updated follow button, and a way to approve all follow requests at once. The official @threadsapp account also promised new features will be coming. Hopefully, one of these is direct messages, as this has also been high on the list of user requests.
