What's Threads
Meta threads app
Threads is a new social media app that lets you share text updates and join public conversations. It is built by the Instagram team and you can log in using your Instagram account. Threads is designed to be a positive and creative space to express your ideas with text, links, photos, and videos.
Threads is different from Instagram in that it focuses more on text than images or videos. You can write posts with up to 500 characters and include links, photos, and videos up to 5 minutes in length. You can also share your Threads posts to your Instagram story or any other platform you choose. Threads is compatible with the accessibility features of Instagram, such as screen reader support and AI-generated image descriptions.
Threads is similar to Twitter in that it allows you to follow and connect with friends and creators who share your interests. You can also discover new content from recommended accounts you haven't followed yet. Threads has tools to enable positive, productive conversations, such as controlling who can mention you or reply to you, adding hidden words to filter out unwanted replies, and blocking or reporting abusive profiles. Threads also enforces Instagram's Community Guidelines on content and interactions in the app.
Threads is part of Meta's vision to create open, interoperable social networks that can shape the future of the internet. Threads is working toward making itself compatible with these networks, so that you can communicate with people across different platforms and services.
If you want to try Threads, you can download it from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. You can then log in using your Instagram account credentials and get started sharing right away. Threads is a new way to share with text, and it might be the next big thing in social media.

Threads app hits Top 5on Apple's China AppStore despite ban
Threads, Meta's new social networking platform, is quickly gaining ground in China where Western social apps from Instagram to Facebook are banned.
As of Thursday morning Pacific Time, the Twitter clone introduced by Instagram ranked fifth in the social networking categor of Apple's China App Store, just a day after launching.
That's despite the fact that the app is blocked by the Great Firewall, meaning users in mainland China have to access the platform through a censorship circumvention tool like a VPN, or virtual private network.
Meta is pitching Threads as Instagram’s “text-based conversation app.” And in many ways, Threads looks very similar to Twitter.

Threads Ratings
great app so far
So far I’m liking this app and I’m happy with the set up only feedback I want to give right now is I would like to only see my followers on my home page feed not random people I don’t follower or don’t want to follow also having a display name change as I’m a Kpop fan and we do happy (insert name) day for birthdays and we can’t do that here otherwise I like it.
Already bummed about this app
It requires you use you Instagram account log in. What if you don’t want to? What if you want to keep it separate? What if you want to use your Facebook name? You have no choice. Why? Does Meta think they are the MCU? Why does everything have to be connected and why can’t we choose how we want to be connected if you don’t give us a choice?
Awful!
Just like the horrible Meta Quest experience, this is the same garbage where it is so difficult to create an account. I don’t want to use my instagram handle for a twitter like experience where I am just following basketball and tech beat writers. It is basically impossible to create an account without literally taking a picture of my face to send to Meta/Instagram? No way am I trusting a company as untrustworthy as Meta/Instagram. Terrible company. Terrible app. Terrible experience.
