The app has been playing around with categorizing topics for a while, initially leaking a trending topics feature back in October. The feature will later tested to a small group of users in the U.S., appearing like a numbered list of topics, going up to five, and showing up below the search bar.

As of February of this year, Threads has more than 130 million monthly active users, according to Zuckerberg.
