Threads redesigns web interface and adds direct messages to desktop for the first time
"Connor Hayes previewed a redesigned web interface that adds direct messages, a navigation sidebar with shortcuts to saved posts and insights, and a cleaner single-feed layout replacing the current multi-column design."
"The sidebar includes shortcuts to saved posts, performance insights, activity, notifications, and the ability to switch between feeds, all features that exist on the mobile app but required multiple taps or profile navigation to find on the web."
"Messages on the web version are not yet publicly testing, Hayes said, but users should start to see them appear over the coming weeks."
Threads is introducing a redesigned web interface featuring direct messages, a navigation sidebar, and a single-feed layout. Direct messages, which launched on mobile in June 2025, will be available on the web soon. The new sidebar provides shortcuts to saved posts, insights, and notifications, improving user access to features. Connor Hayes, the head of Threads, emphasized the importance of the web experience for engaged users. The redesign aims to enhance usability and aligns more closely with popular desktop layouts.
