Description
Say more with Threads — Instagram’s text-based conversation app.
Threads is where communities come together to discuss everything from the topics you care about today to what’ll be trending tomorrow. Whatever it is you’re interested in, you can follow and connect directly with your favorite creators and others who love the same things — or build a loyal following of your own to share your ideas, opinions and creativity with the world.
A few things you can do on Threads…
■ Access your Instagram followers Your Instagram username and verification badge are reserved for you. Automatically follow the same accounts you follow on Instagram in a few taps, and discover new accounts too.
■ Share your point of view Spin up a new thread to express what's on your mind. This is your space to be yourself, and you control who can reply.
■ Connect with friends and your favorite creators Jump to the replies to get in on the action and react to commentary, humor and insight from the creators you know and love. Find your community and connect with people who care about whatever it is you’re interested in.
■ Control the conversation Customize your settings and use controls to manage who can see your content, reply to your threads, or mention you. Accounts you’ve blocked will carry over from Instagram, and we’re enforcing the same Community Guidelines to help ensure everyone interacts safely and authentically.
■ Find ideas and inspiration From TV recommendations to career advice, get answers to your questions or learn something new from crowd-sourced conversations, thought leaders and industry experts.
■ Never miss a moment Stay on top of the latest trends and live events. Whether it’s about new music, movie premieres, sports, games, TV shows, fashion, or the latest product releases, find discussions and receive notifications any time your favorite profiles start a new thread.
■ Leap into the fediverse Threads is part of the fediverse, a global, open, social network of independent servers operated by third parties around the world. Servers share information with each other to enable people to connect and discover new things across the fediverse.

I don't really care that you can't post pictures or screenshots, but it's ok there's Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, WhatsApp and whatever next add pops out... Threads playing the kiss game. Keep It Simple Stupid!!

Unable to delete my account. It's ridiculous already that you're making people jump through hoops to delete their accounts, but the feature doesn't even work. Threads is just filled with low effort rage bait and AI. I do not recommend downloading or registering as they make it extremely difficult to delete your account.

Threads has turned out to be highly racist towards black Americans....it's ok to make racist posts that somehow get through community standards.... soon as you say something about it, they flag your account
★☆☆☆☆Daniel Anders· Jun 26, 2026
Complete liberal cesspool. If you are a psychopathic liberal you'd rate this 5 stars, but otherwise for the sane people, this app is absolute garbage.

I keep trying to log in with my Instagram account, with the correct user and password, however it keeps saying my Instagram account doesn't exist? I'm so confused and the app is unusable as is on my end. Please fix this or give help!
