Meta, the company behind Threads, is constantly testing new features to enhance the app’s functionality and user experience. One of the latest additions includes swipe gestures for liking posts and a “Trending now” section. But the most exciting update announced by Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg is the introduction of live sports scores on Threads.

Currently in the testing phase, Threads will now display NBA live sports scores for users to stay updated on their favorite teams’ performance in real-time. This feature goes beyond just showing scores; users can tap on a team’s logo to join conversations about that specific team or connect with other sports enthusiasts who share the same interests.

The decision to focus on NBA scores was intentional, as basketball has proven to be a popular topic among Threads users. In fact, NBA Threads is currently one of the most active sports communities on the app.

With these new features, Threads is evolving into a platform where users can not only stay connected with friends but also engage in discussions about their favorite sports teams. Stay tuned for more updates as Meta continues to improve Threads for its growing user base.
