Meta finally adds direct messages to the web version of Threads

Meta is adding a direct message inbox and a redesigned sidebar to the web version of Threads.

Connor Hayes revealed a new interface with feed-switching controls in the left sidebar and other UI changes.

DMs were already available on mobile, and the web rollout is expected in the coming weeks.

The update closes a major feature gap and should make Threads on the web more useful for messaging and cross-platform use.
