Description

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.

  • Too many vague posts

    Thought it would be a great place to discuss topics but sooo many people say something vague and when you ask what they’re talking about, they never answer.

  • Garbage

    Total garbage. Like everything from meta. Don’t waste your time with this.

  • Notifications

    Hey Meta - why are you sending threads notifications through instagram and Facebook? Stop it. You’re not increasing engagement - just making me want to delete this useless app.

  • So. So.

    Garbage copycat of X.

  • Can’t follow accounts

    Just started using Threads, and I was excited to finally find a suitable alternative to the disaster Twitter/X has become. So, naturally, I wanted to start finding and following a bunch of accounts—but my ability to do that seems intermittent at best. Disappointing.

  • No engagement

    I've been using Threads for a while now, and unfortunately, my experience has been nothing but frustrating. I understand it's a newer app, so I was willing to give it some time to improve, but there's still a lot of work to be done. I'm open to changing my review if things get better, but for now, here's what really bothers me. The biggest issue is the lack of engagement. Threads is supposed to be a social app where people can connect, share, and interact, but it's not working that way for me. I post frequently about outdoors, travel, and photography. I have over 500 followers, which I think should be enough to get some likes or comments, but my posts are getting zero engagement—literally nothing. It's disheartening to put in the effort to create content and see no response at all. I expected Threads to help me connect with people who share my interests, but it seems like the app isn't doing its part to make that happen. It's not just about my followers seeing my posts; it's about reaching a broader audience that might be interested in what I'm sharing. It feels like Threads isn't helping to make those connections, which defeats the whole purpose of a social app. I really hope the developers address this issue because I'm not the only one experiencing this. If Threads can find a way to boost engagement and help smaller accounts like mine connect with a wider audience, I would be happy to reconsider my rating. Until then, I'm left feeling disappointed and ignored.

  • Good But Needs An iPad App Version.

    I like Threads, but Meta needs to make a dedicated iPad App and add the ability to break down who we follow into lists.

  • Porn bots aplenty!

    I love Threads but the porn bots are getting out of hand. Since nothing seems to be getting done about it, this app should be rated 18+ due to the graphic videos and photos that accompany the bot accounts. No one under 18 should use this app. It’s NSFW. Do the powers that be read these reviews? Probably not. I would recommend an “adults only” tag for this app.

  • Threads pull us together
