# Threads adds new personalization and community features as it reaches 500M monthly users

**[TechCrunch](https://daily.dev/sources/tc)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Threads has reached 500 million monthly active users, adding 100 million in the past 10 months. To mark the milestone, Meta announced several new features: 'Your Algo,' a private feed personalization tool letting users control topics they see for 1, 3, or 7 days without posting publicly; a Communities Hub for easier discovery of interest-based groups; expanded Live Chats with co-hosting and quote moments; and distinct community icons. These updates aim to close the gap with X on real-time engagement while differentiating Threads with features rivals don't offer.
