What Is Threads? All About Instagram's New App That Rivals Twitter

Threads is a new app from the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. The platform looks a lot like Twitter, with a feed of largely text-based posts — although users can also post photos and videos — where people can have real-time conversations.

Meta said messages posted to Threads will have a 500-character limit. Similar to Twitter, users can reply to, repost and quote others’ Threads posts. But the app also blends Instagram’s existing aesthetic and navigation system, and offers the ability to share posts from Threads directly to Instagram Stories.

Thread accounts can also be listed as public or private. Verified Instagram accounts are automatically verified on Threads.

“The vision for Threads is to create an option and friendly public space for conversation,” Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a Threads post following the launch. “We hope to take what Instagram does best and create a new experience around text, ideas, and discussing what’s on your mind.”

Some users did experience occasional glitches and issues getting content to load in the early hours after Threads launched, but that is to be expected when millions of users are joining and using an app at once.

How to Register Threads?How do you sign up?

Users sign up through their Instagram accounts and keep the same username, password and account name, although they can edit their bio to be unique to Threads. Users can also import the list of accounts they follow directly from Instagram, making it super easy to get up and running on the app.

But it’s not quite so easy to leave Threads. While users can temporarily deactivate their profiles via the settings section on the app, the company says in its privacy policy that “your Threads profile can only be deleted by deleting your Instagram account.” Some users have also raised concerns about the amount of data that the Threads, like Instagram, can collect about users, including location, contacts, search history, browsing history, contact info and more, according to the Apple App Store.

Could Threads be the ‘Twitter killer’?

Threads is just the latest platform launched in recent months in hopes of unseating Twitter as the go-to app for real-time, public conversations. But it may have the greatest chance at success.

Many Twitter users have expressed desire for an alternative since Musk took over the platform late last year. Frequent technical issues and policy changes have sent some noteworthy Twitter users heading for the exits.

Meta has at least one significant leg up on Twitter: the size of its existing user base. Meta is hoping to capture at least some of its more than 2 billion global active Instagram users with the new app. That’s compared to Twitter’s active user base, which is somewhere around 250 million.

“It’ll take some time, but I think there should be a public conversations app with 1 billion+ people on it,” Zuckerberg said in a Threads post. “Twitter has had the opportunity do this but hasn’t nailed it. Hopefully we will.”

In a tweet on Thursday, Twitter’s new CEO Linda Yaccarino appeared to acknowledge the rival app’s launch, calling Twitter “irreplaceable.”

“We’re often imitated – but the Twitter community can never be duplicated,” she said.

Meta’s existing scale and infrastructure could play to its advantage. Whereas many of the other Twitter competitors rolled out in recent months have required users to join waitlists or receive invitations to sign up, only to have to work to recreate their network on the new site, Threads makes it remarkably easy for users to get started.

But Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri noted in a video posted to the platform that the challenge for new social media platforms often is not getting users to sign up, but rather keeping them engaged long-term.

In particular, Meta will have to work to prevent spam, harassment, conspiracy theories and false claims on Threads, issues that have caused many users to sour on Twitter. The new platform’s launch comes after Meta laid off more than 20,000 workers starting last November, including user experience, well-being, policy and risk analytics employees. It also comes as campaign season for the 2024 US Presidential election ramps up, with some experts warning of an incoming wave of misinformation. Meta says its Community Guidelines will apply to Threads, just like its other apps.

What else is in it for Meta?

For Meta, Threads could be a way of eking additional engagement time out of its massive existing user base. Although there are no ads on the platform just yet, Threads could also ultimately supplement Meta’s core advertising business. Meta’s ad business could use a boost after facing challenges from a broad decline in the online ad market and changes to Apple’s app privacy practices, although, if Twitter’s history is any guide, the format is unlikely to attract as many ad dollars as Meta’s other platforms. For Zuckerberg, though, the real draw may be in attempting to best his rival, Musk, with whom he has in recent weeks been making plans to engage in a cage fight. Perhaps winning in the battle of social networks is even better.

How to Get More Followers on Threads

Getting more followers on Threads isn’t too difficult. The new Meta app by Instagram, available on Google Play and the Apple App Store, essentially works like its main competitor Twitter. The mobile-only app went live on Wednesday, June 5, and already has over 30 million sign-ups according to a Thread by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. At launch, Threads is fairly bare and doesn’t have all the features that Twitter has, but many of the same techniques in gaining followers there will apply here as well. Here are several ways that you can get more followers on Threads.

Tips to gain more followers on Threads

The following are several steps you can use to get more followers on the platform:

• Follow users from Instagram – When you sign up for Threads, you can automatically send follower requests to all of your existing Instagram followers. This can give you a boost of followers to start your account off right.
• Post pics, gifs, and videos – Posting images and short videos is generally better than plain text in gaining likes and follows. Not every Thread needs a picture, but pairing one with a humorous meme or interesting gif has a better shot of gaining traction.
• Write a Thread several times a day – Especially while Threads is still young, posting frequently during the first month is a good opportunity to gain new followers. In fact, posting at least three times a day, a few hours apart, is recommended.
• Become Verified on Threads – Similar to Instagram, Threads does not have a timeline that’s sorted by date. Instead, it uses an algorithm that gives more weight to Threads from verified users. If you are verified on Instagram, this will carry over to Threads, so we recommend getting yourself legacy verified. You can also head to this link on mobile to be put on the waitlist for Meta Verified.

Threads doesn’t have a lot of features that Twitter and Instagram have at the moment. But we believe that hashtags and a trending page will eventually be added. Once that happens, using hashtags associated with trending topics is a good strategy in gaining visibility and therefore more followers.
