Here is how to use Twitter-rival, the Meta-owned, Threads app
Meta has launched a new messaging app called Threads, which is a direct challenge to Twitter. The app is designed to facilitate text-based conversations and is being promoted as Instagram’s own text-based conversation app.
Threads is now available for free download on the Apple App Store and Google Play in more than 100 countries, according to Meta’s official blog post. The app shares a similar visual style to Twitter, allowing users to post short messages that can be liked, shared, and commented on. In fact, when quizzed by The Verge, Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri agreed that posts on Threads are “kind of” tweets. And this has started the debate over whether to call them “threets” as opposed to tweets used for Twitter posts. Screenshots available on the Apple App Store reveal the Threads interface.
How to use Threads on Instagram
To use Threads, you need to have an Instagram account and sign in using your Instagram login credentials. Your Instagram username will be carried over to Threads, but you can create a personalized profile. However, users under 18 years old in the UK will have a default private profile.
Threads allows you to easily follow the same accounts they already follow on Instagram with just a few clicks. When creating a post or “Thread,” you can choose who can see it, whether it’s the entire world or just your followers.
