If you haven’t already heard (but I’m sure you have!), Instagram has released its newest addition to social networking: Threads.
This text-based conversation app is designed to make it easy to share updates and join public conversations with people you follow. In many ways, Threads is similar to the current network, Twitter. However, it’s also making waves and developing new ways to engage with your followers and audience.
Let’s take a closer look at why Threads is going to be a game-changer for social networking.
-
Logging in to Threads is as simple as a few taps. All you need is your existing Instagram account. As a result, you can keep your Instagram handle and sync your profile, or you can write up a brand-new Bio and start fresh.
-
Threads allows you to share updates and posts of up to 500 characters. You can also include links, photos, and videos up to 5 minutes in length.
-
In under 24 hours, Threads has gained an astonishing 30 million users. Plus, with Instagram, you can seamlessly sync your followers. Or, you can start fresh and follow new people who care about what you do, and build a new community.
-
Share your Threads posts directly to your Instagram story, Facebook feed, or other platforms, enabling you to extend your reach and engage with a wider audience. This even includes the option to ‘tweet’ your Threads on Twitter!
-
Similar to Instagram, Threads offers built-in features to customise your experience. You can manage who can mention, reply and add hidden word restrictions. Moreover, with Instagram’s seamless transition, Threads will automatically block anyone from your Instagram account.
Threads is currently available in over 100 countries for iOS and Android on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Exciting things are in the works, as Instagram continues to develop Threads. This includes a chronological feed, DM’s and hashtags which are already in consideration for Threads. However, Mosseri stated that ‘for now, we just wanted to keep things simple’.
