Threads launched earlier this year in an attempt to take advantage of X’s (sigh<\/em>, formerly known as Twitter’s) fall from grace. Threads 1.0 might have arrived a little too soon, with users wondering “Hey, where are all the features?”<\/p>\n

Well, in the half-year since its debut, Threads has gained some standard social media features<\/a>, courtesy of developer Meta. It’s still not perfect and Meta continues to add features that probably<\/em> should have been there from the beginning. Case in post: tags.<\/p>\n

How to add tags to posts in Threads<\/h2>\n

Threads officially rolled out support for tags in posts on Thursday, Dec. 7, following a three-week testing period<\/a>. If you know how to tag on Twitter, you now know how to tag on Threads: After starting a new post, you can type a #, then type the word you’d like to tag. More conveniently, you can hit the #<\/strong> button in your Threads menu, which pulls up a pop-up window of tag suggestions. You can either choose from these suggestions, or type your own tag. (As you type, the suggestions change to match.)<\/p>\n

You’ll notice that each character you type will be highlighted in blue. This is the only way to know whether you’re entering a tag, as the post itself won’t show the hash symbol itself. Weird. Also weird is the tag limit for each post: one. You only get one tag on your post, so choose wisely. If you try to add a second tag, the app will display a red pop-up reading “Tag limited reached (1).” Thanks for the reminder.<\/p>\n

But there are advantages to tags on Threads, even with this one tag per post limit. Unlike X or Instagram, your tag can be a phrase<\/a>, rather than a single word, so feel free to use spaces. You can even use special characters, so it’s possible Threads tags will be more specific and useful than other apps in this space.<\/p>\n
