Welcome to the Week in Review
Welcome
We’re usually content to report on the big developments in the tech world here on TechRadar, but this week we made some news ourselves, relaunching the website with the biggest design and navigation overhaul in our 15-year history. You can read all about it here, and along with the new look we’ve also rolled out some new features and regular articles.

And what a day we chose for our big relaunch: just hours after we flicked the switch to put the new website live, Meta unveiled Threads, its hotly anticipated new social media platform and Twitter challenger. The TechRadar team has been scrambling to sign up and bag their handles, and below you’ll find a raft of articles explaining how you too can get up and running on Threads, along with reaction and analysis – it looks like an almighty battle for the future of social media is brewing.

Until next week,
