About this app

Say more with Threads — Instagram’s text-based conversation app.

Threads is where communities come together to discuss everything from the topics you care about today to what’ll be trending tomorrow. Whatever it is you’re interested in, you can follow and connect directly with your favorite creators and others who love the same things — or build a loyal following of your own to share your ideas, opinions and creativity with the world.

A few things you can do on Threads…

■ Access your Instagram followers
Your Instagram username and verification badge are reserved for you. Automatically follow the same accounts you follow on Instagram in a few taps, and discover new accounts too.

■ Share your point of view
Spin up a new thread to express what's on your mind. This is your space to be yourself, and you control who can reply.

■ Connect with friends and your favorite creators
Jump to the replies to get in on the action and react to commentary, humor and insight from the creators you know and love. Find your community and connect with people who care about whatever it is you’re interested in.

■ Control the conversation
Customize your settings and use controls to manage who can see your content, reply to your threads, or mention you. Accounts you’ve blocked will carry over from Instagram, and we’re enforcing the same Community Guidelines to help ensure everyone interacts safely and authentically.

■ Find ideas and inspiration
From TV recommendations to career advice, get answers to your questions or learn something new from crowd-sourced conversations, thought leaders and industry experts.

■ Never miss a moment
Stay on top of the latest trends and live events. Whether it’s about new music, movie premieres, sports, games, TV shows, fashion, or the latest product releases, find discussions and receive notifications any time your favorite profiles start a new thread.

■ Leap into the fediverse
Threads is part of the fediverse, a global, open, social network of independent servers operated by third parties around the world. Servers share information with each other to enable people to connect and discover new things across the fediverse.

Ratings and reviews

Instagram notifications constantly try to trick me into re-enabling this app but clicking on them never actually takes me to the post "I might be interested in." This is just a garbage clone of Twitter/X without any meaningful discourse ever taking place between anyone. It also uses tons of data in the background, seemingly tracking your every move 24/7. Avoid it like the plague.

Overall good, but has some issues it needs to work out. For instance, if you click on a post to read it, sometimes when you back out it will refresh automatically and you'll lose the post forever. I constantly have issues where the page refreshes automatically while I'm mid-reading and the whole thing is gone. It's very irritating. I still consider this to be a good app for social networking, and better than Twitter. It just has some issues to fix.

Threads is a refreshing social media app that seamlessly integrates with Instagram, offering a user-friendly interface and a positive, engaging community. It allows for text-based posts, images, GIFs, and videos up to 5 minutes. The app's focus on real-time sharing and communication makes it perfect for staying connected with close friends. With its emphasis on privacy and personalization, Threads is a must-try for anyone looking to enhance their social media experience. Loving it!! ❤️
