Overview
Threads is a text-based social app from Meta, the company behind Instagram. It is available as apps for Android and iOS and on the web at threads.com, and it is free to use.
Threads lets you share short posts with text, links, photos and videos, reply to others and join public conversations about news, interests and culture. You can sign up using an Instagram account, which makes it easy to find people you already follow. Feeds show posts from accounts you follow as well as recommendations, and topic tags help organise conversations. Threads also supports connecting with some other services through the fediverse, an open network of social platforms.
Threads suits people who want a conversation-focused alternative for following creators, brands and public figures. As with any social network, review privacy settings, limit who can reply to you if needed, and use the official app or website only.
