Introducing Threads, the text-based conversation app by Instagram.
Threads is the ultimate platform where communities unite to discuss various topics ranging from the current trends to what will become popular in the future. No matter what interests you, you can follow and directly connect with your favorite creators and like-minded individuals. Alternatively, you can build your own loyal following and share your ideas, opinions, and creativity with the world.
With Threads, you have the power to:
■ Access your Instagram followers
Your Instagram username and verification badge are exclusively reserved for you. In just a few taps, you can automatically follow the same accounts you already follow on Instagram, and also discover new exciting accounts to follow.
■ Share your point of view
Express yourself freely on Threads by starting new threads to share what's on your mind. This is your personal space where you have full control over who can reply.
■ Connect with friends and favorite creators
Join the conversation in the replies section to engage with creators you love. React to their commentary, humor, and insights. Find your community and connect with individuals who share your passion.
■ Control the conversation
Customize your settings and utilize controls to manage who can see your content, reply to your threads, or mention you. Blocked accounts from Instagram will automatically be blocked on Threads as well. We enforce the same Community Guidelines to ensure a safe and authentic interaction for everyone.
■ Find ideas and inspiration
Discover crowd-sourced conversations, gain advice, or learn something new from thought leaders and industry experts. Whether you need TV recommendations or career guidance, Threads has it all.
■ Never miss a moment
Stay up-to-date with the latest trends and live events. Be it new music releases, movie premieres, sports updates, gaming news, fashion trends, or product launches, find engaging discussions and receive notifications whenever your favorite profiles start a new thread.
