Threads, an Instagram app

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.

■ Open social networking – coming soon
In the future, there will be ways to discover more content and reach wider audiences: we are planning features that allow you to search for, follow and interact with users on open, interoperable social networks that we believe can shape the future of the internet.

Ratings and reviews

Overall great social experience. A place to start and maintain conversations about any interests. It seems the overall culture is positive and constructive. I will say, however, that the app currently does not use the native photo picker or native share sheet and instead uses its own. Not good. It also lacks the ability to disable the in-app-browser. I would like links to open in Chrome, not in the app.

Thread is a wonderful app which allows author express and share contents across the media. However here are some tips to improve user experience: 1. Enable to edit/ crop images before posting. 2. Remove the bug: "reply content not available" after you delete a reply. 3. Enable post to edit the text content, even though it has been posted for as long. 4. An organising tool for the page content (images/ text/ video) would be lovely. 6. Music sharing as a post would be amazing!!

Now that the app doesn't crash when I try to use it in conjunction with Talkback, I got to say, this is one of the better social networking apps I've been on. Especially after muting places like CNN and Fox and whatnot. The community is a lot more chill than most places for the most part, and the interface isn't broken, unlike some other places I could name. I recommend it.
