Jakarta Threads, a social media application made by Meta, has finally brought a big update to its message feature. Now, users can create groups of DM (direct messages) that accommodate up to 50 people in one conversation, complete with the ability to name custom groups and new privacy features.

Previously, Threads only supported one-on-one chats, forcing users to switch to Instagram for group discussions. But now, users can easily form big groups in the same application. Meta also prepares an invite link feature so that users can join the group without having to be added manually.

In addition, the new message system Threads supports stronger media sharing, stickers, and privacy controls. Users can filter incoming messages through the request folder (message requests), disable messages from unfollowed accounts, and hide certain messages in hidden folders (hidden folders) so as not to interfere with the main entry box.

In this big update, Meta has also begun to expand its entire Threads message feature to the EU (EU) region. Users in the region will gain full access to group chats, media sharing, and a new privacy system in the next few days.

This move is part of Meta's efforts to make Threads more than just a microblogging platform. With the presence of chat groups, neater message management, and increased privacy security, Threads is now approaching Meta's vision as a more complete and interactive digital social space.
