After rolling out the trending topics feature in the U.S. earlier this year, Threads is now testing out the feature in Japan.
“Lots of folks outside the US have been asking for the “Trending Now” feature, and we’re working on bringing it to more countries. This week, we’ll begin testing the feature in Japan with a small number of people to start,” said Adam Mosseri, the Meta executive who heads Instagram and Threads.

Meta says the Trending Now feature highlights conversations happening in real-time, but hasn’t specified if it filters out political topics in this section.
While the social network says it doesn’t actively recommend political content, the feature often surfaces political topics due to the nature of conversations on the platform.
