Live Chats on Threads

Live Chats on Threads introduces a public group‑chat experience within Meta’s Threads platform, allowing users to follow and contribute to real‑time conversations around major events such as sports playoffs or television finales. The feature functions as a shared thread where participants can see live commentary, post messages, and engage with a broader audience while the event unfolds.

The tool is aimed at Threads users who want to stay connected to live moments and interact publicly rather than through private messages. It serves anyone interested in collective discussion of trending topics, offering a venue to join the conversation without leaving the platform.

What sets this experimental feature apart is its public‑chat format that mirrors traditional group chats but is visible to all users, creating a communal “front‑row seat” to ongoing events. It is currently being tested with a rollout expected in late April 2026.
