Everything you need to know about Instagram Threads
Meta's Threads app, created by the Instagram team, has been launched as a standalone app that focuses on text updates and public discussions. It aims to provide a more immersive and interactive space for sharing text-based content. Users can log in with their existing Instagram accounts and customize their profiles specifically for Threads. The app allows posts up to 500 characters long, with the option to include links, photos, and videos up to 5 minutes in length.
Threads offers a feed that includes posts from followed accounts and recommended content from new creators. It also provides tools for moderating conversations, allowing users to control who can mention or reply to them within the app.
In terms of compatibility, Threads is working towards adopting the ActivityPub protocol, which would enable interoperability with other apps that support the protocol. This means that public profiles on Threads would be accessible from other apps, expanding user reach without additional effort.
Safety measures are in place on Threads, as it enforces Instagram's Community Guidelines for content and interactions within the app. Instagram has invested significant resources in user protection across its products, including Threads.
The app is available for both iOS and Android users in over 100 countries. Instagram plans to continue enhancing the app with improved recommendations in the feed and a robust search function to keep users up-to-date with real-time topics and trends.
