Not at this stage, but Meta wants the app to be similar to rivals like Mastodon, and be decentralised and allow users to transfer accounts to other platforms. Can I find followers from other social media platforms? This is good news for accounts that might be worried someone could grab their username. Can I get a different username?įor now, Meta is letting people log in using only their Instagram login, and you’ll keep the username you have on that account for Threads. Meta has indicated it will not monetise Threads this year, but left open the door for ads in the future. There is no desktop version at this stage, and Meta could not say when it might make one available. There is no plan for that at this stage, but if you prefer less of an audience, you can always switch your profile to private so only those who follow you will see your threads.Ĭurrently you can access Threads only via the iOS or Android apps. Will there be a ‘close friends’ setting, like on Instagram?
You can make Threads private at any time, and also choose who can reply to your posts on Threads. Though if you’re under 16, the Threads account, like Instagram, is private by default. Yes, if you want to keep your Instagram more personal you can keep it locked down and have Threads public. Can I keep my Instagram account private and my Threads account public?
There is no way to direct message other users right now. There’s no way to see just the posts of the people you follow at the moment, and the company hasn’t indicated whether it will provide this option in the future. Meta has indicated it’s a mixture of followed accounts and algorithmic recommendations.
One of the main criticisms of Threads in the hours since it launched is that people are seeing a mixture of posts from the accounts they’re following and then a bunch of random accounts. Why is my feed a bunch of people I’m not following? You can quote a thread similar to quote tweeting. It looks a lot like Twitter – short text-based pieces of content, likes and reposts. You can send posts of up to 500 characters, include images, gifs, and videos of up to five minutes in length. Threads allows you to sign up using your Instagram login, and you’ll be able to follow all the accounts you already follow on Instagram on Threads automatically as they join.
