    Plan your custom feed before you build it

    Pick a starting recipe or start from scratch. Add topics and profiles, see a preview, then follow the steps it gives you in the app. Nothing is sent to Threads.

        How to share a custom feed - and save someone else's

        📤 Share your feed

        1. Open the feed menu and tap the pencil (Edit feeds).
        2. Choose your feed and switch it to Public.
        3. Tap View feed.
        4. Tap Share feed to send a link or message - or tap the quote icon to post a preview.

        📥 Save someone else's feed

        1. Open a feed link someone shared, or visit a profile and open its Feeds tab.
        2. Open a feed you like to preview it.
        3. Pin it to add it to your own feed menu.
        4. Switch to it from the menu at the top left, like your own feeds.

        Only public feeds can be shared and appear on your profile. Private feeds stay visible only to you.

        FAQ

        Threads custom feeds FAQ

        What is a custom feed on Threads?
        A custom feed is a feed you build from topics and profiles you choose. It sits alongside For You and Following, so you can switch to a feed that's only about, say, coffee or your industry.
        How do I create a custom feed on Threads?
        Open the feed menu at the top left of the home screen and tap + to create a new feed. Add topics and profiles, give it a name and tap Done.
        How do I share a custom feed on Threads?
        Make the feed public in Edit feeds, open it with View feed, then tap Share feed to send a link or message, or use the quote icon to post a preview.
        Can other people see my custom feeds?
        Only if you make them public. Public feeds appear in a Feeds tab on your profile, where others can view and pin them. Private feeds are visible only to you.
        Can I make a custom feed my default?
        Yes. Threads lets you set a custom feed as the feed you see when you open the app, instead of For You.
        Can I use custom feeds on threads.com?
        Yes. Your custom feeds appear in the web app in the same order as on mobile, and you can add them as columns side by side.
