Comments on Threads for Android

★★★★★ Nazrin Ramli · Jul 24, 2026

I love Threads, but these bugs are driving me crazy. I update a draft from 14 threads to 30, hit Update, and it creates a duplicate instead. When scheduled, it posts the old 14-thread version, not the updated one. I even edited a post by changing just one number, and it became a separate post. Anyone else experiencing this? What happened?

★★★★☆ Ian · Jul 29, 2026

I got suspended for absolutely no reason. I don't post anything I'm not unhinged or anything like that, and I barely use this Facebook successor of an app. Then when I check my account I've been suspended, no appeal no nothing. It seems I wasn't the only one, so I'd recommend not trying this app

★★★★★ Mercedes Company · Aug 2, 2026

This app is one of the best social media platforms to use for me, I advise you install it to enjoy the fun

★★★★★ AFRINA · Jul 29, 2026

I love Threads because it's easy to share thoughts, interact with others, and have meaningful conversations.

★☆☆☆☆ Steven Connors · Aug 2, 2026

When trying to open threads from ig it won't go directly to the post and threads is full of ads and uninteresting posts

★☆☆☆☆ Cathy Everidge · Aug 10, 2026

No longer directly links from Facebook. Threads is now junk

★☆☆☆☆ Robert Sheets · Aug 2, 2026

This is the worst app I have been on. I wouldn't even give a star. More like to give it a minus. Not a good app. This app has too many fakes, frauds and scammers. Threads promote illegal activities like prostitution and child pornography. Also promote other illegal activities. Bots are even rating this app. Come on, really. It's no good.

★☆☆☆☆ llldodgelll · Jul 24, 2026

Can't log in with my Instagram account, can't log in with my backup account, can't change my password from the login page, no options to reset or verify. Uninstalled.
