Threads Takes a Big Domain Leap—And Loads Up on New Features
Meta’s social‑media hub Threads has officially planted its flag on the threads.com domain, switching from the original threads.net. The move came after a year of poking at the front of the web road, and it’s now the new home base for everything Threads, from chat rooms to meme sharing.
What Changed?
- All traffic is now rerouted straight to threads.com, so if you typed the older address last night, you’ll find yourself on the updated platform.
- Threads rolled out a handful of fresh features at the same time as the domain shift—think new profile tweaks, streamlined posting tools, and a snazzier user interface.
- Meta dubbed the switch a “migration to a new domain,” but honestly, it feels more like Threads has finally moved into its own luxury apartment.
Why the Switch?
In 2023, Meta didn’t own the coveted threads.com domain—sort of like owning a trendy coffee shop without the actual roof. A year later, they snagged it and began redirecting traffic. Now that the domain is fully under their wing, the official site is threads.com, which feels clean, crisp, and unmistakably theirs.
What It Means for Users
Now that the new address is in place, you should start seeing the updated look and feel right away. If you’re still on threads.net, you’re probably looking at a version of the site that’s been gently nudged by redirect magic—just consider it a courtesy preview of the full update.
All in all, Threads’ domain makeover is about setting the stage for the next chapter of its social‑media story—and Meta’s got it all under the sun. Happy scrolling!
