Threads: A Close Friends App for Instagram
Threads is a standalone messaging app from Instagram that allows users to connect with their close friends in a more intimate way. The app is designed to be a more personal and private space than the main Instagram app, and it offers a number of features that are specifically designed for close friends.
Features
• Status updates:
Threads users can share status updates with their close friends, which can include text, photos, and videos. Status updates are ephemeral, meaning that they disappear after 24 hours.
• Direct messages:
Threads users can send direct messages to their close friends. These messages are private and can only be seen by the people you send them to.
• Shared Stories:
Threads users can share Stories with their close friends. Stories are a temporary way to share photos and videos with your followers, and they disappear after 24 hours.
• Inbox:
Threads users have a dedicated inbox for their direct messages and Stories. This makes it easy to keep track of all of your conversations with your close friends.
• Privacy:
Threads is a more private app than the main Instagram app. Only people who you choose to follow on Threads can see your status updates, direct messages, and Stories.
How to Use Threads:
To use Threads, you first need to download the app from the App Store or Google Play. Once you have downloaded the app, you will need to sign in with your Instagram account. After you sign in, you will be able to see a list of your close friends. You can add people to your close friends list by tapping the “+” button in the top right corner of the screen.
Once you have added people to your close friends list, you can start sharing status updates, direct messages, and Stories with them. To share a status update, tap the “Status” button in the bottom middle of the screen. To send a direct message, tap the “Direct” button in the bottom right corner of the screen. To share a Story, tap the “Story” button in the top left corner of the screen.
Threads vs. Instagram
Threads is a more private and personal app than the main Instagram app. This is because Threads is designed specifically for close friends. If you want to share photos and videos with a wider audience, you should use the main Instagram app. However, if you want to share more intimate content with your close friends, then Threads is the better option.
Threads vs Twitter
As most of the functions of the Threads app are similar to those of Twitter, social media users are comparing and discussing them. Some people predict that it will kill Twitter, and others are turning it into a meme because Meta already replicated it.
