Here’s what you can do on Threads:

■ Start a thread, share your take
Have something on your mind? Take it to Threads. Share a thought, ask a question or open up a conversation. There’s more than one way to kick things off with text, images, polls, ghost posts and more.

■ Jump into replies
Jump into the discussion, react to new ideas or just see where the conversation goes. Every thread is an invitation to join in.

■ Keep up with what’s trending
From live scores to breaking moments, Threads helps you stay close to what’s happening —and join the conversation when you’ve got something to say.

■ Control the content you see
Control who can reply to you, mention you or see your posts. Use Hidden Words to filter out posts and replies that include words or phrases you don’t want to see—so your experience stays on your terms.

■ Go deep on your interests
Follow friends, creators and communities for every interest. Threads is built to help you discover new voices and join conversations—starting with the communities you care about most.

■ Connect over chat
Keep the conversation going privately with 1:1 and group DMs. When a public thread gets more personal, move it to your inbox to go deeper or share it with a smaller group."

Ratings and reviews

An unsung treasure, this app is great as an artist to let loose and build community in a way that's as engaging as old Tumblr and Twitter. It's definitely more for text posts, but it's really fun to ask questions and get feedback and see other people's art. It's a perfect companion to Insta, and the algorithm really is tailored to the way I use the app.

I was skeptical about Threads for the longest time, but I really enjoy it, probably more than most other social media. It feels personable and engaging in a way that has been missing from the internet for a long time. The one thing keeping me from giving it a 5th star is that you can't sort your saved posts the way in Meta's other apps. I have found tons of helpful tutorials, recipes, and other things I want to come back to later, but they're in one big pile and I'd love to have categories

They make it difficult for users to delete their accounts. I've tried multiple times, but the threads keep showing the process can't be completed even though I've followed the steps. The funny thing is, when I select "too busy" as the reason for deleting, they display a message telling me to just delete the app instead of deleting the account.
