Discover new perspectives and connect through conversation on Threads. See what people are talking about right now—from niche interests to big moments. With communities, you can find people who also care about your interests on Threads. Reply, listen, share or just follow along. Here’s what you can do on Threads: ■ Start a thread, share your take Have something on your mind? Take it to Threads. Share a thought, ask a question or open up a conversation. There’s more than one way to kick things off with text, images, polls, ghost posts and more. ■ Jump into replies Jump into the discussion, react to new ideas or just see where the conversation goes. Every thread is an invitation to join in. ■ Keep up with what’s trending From live scores to breaking moments, Threads helps you stay close to what’s happening —and join the conversation when you’ve got something to say. ■ Control the content you see Control who can reply to you, mention you or see your posts. Use Hidden Words to filter out posts and replies that include words or phrases you don’t want to see—so your experience stays on your terms. ■ Go deep on your interests Follow friends, creators and communities for every interest. Threads is built to help you discover new voices and join conversations—starting with the communities you care about most. ■ Connect over chat Keep the conversation going privately with 1:1 and group DMs. When a public thread gets more personal, move it to your inbox to go deeper or share it with a smaller group.

I don’t do this often

I am however writing a review on this occasion. I am all about giving stuff back where possible, and I have benefited from my time in the Threads building. You have truly thought of everything to make me feel truly at home. Through simplicity, clear organisation and ease of use. I find it particularly helpful due to how quickly I am able to empty my brain of thought, or at least keep them coming gently. There is something somehow nostalgic about the app, and I have had many interactions with people around the world, and I love to hear about how the rest of us are living. So yes, I will be staying. Real stories, real people, connecting. Thank you.

Good community, but account deleted without explanation.

I’ve had Threads since the day it was released. I used it as a replacement for the increasingly toxic Twitter/X, and I was enjoying it for a while. A few days ago, when more accounts started appearing in droves from Twitter/X I started engaging with new users but kept getting restrictions on the number of follows I could perform. I thought it was odd but assumed it was a blanket measure to deal with the increase in users. Well today I realised I was wrong, when they deleted my account without a reasonable explanation. Apparently I have been doing something against the T&Cs, but I have no idea what. I appealed and that was rejected almost instantly, leading to the permanent deletion of my account. I’d made really good connections with people in my field, and had a really positive experience, which is rare on social media nowadays. It’s really frustrating that I can’t reconnect with these people anymore, and can’t even find my old list of followers again. Bottom line, avoid this app until they’ve decided what their community guidelines actually are, and how to enforce them.

Needs a few more features to be usable but has promise.

Really like the clean design, lack of apps, and ease of finding new people to follow. What would make it the perfect app is: a following only feed, similar to what it on Instagram, or even the option to mute suggested posts such as on Instagram; a “likes” column on my profile and the ability to make this visible or hide it, currently I can’t see anywhere to view posts you’ve liked; being over Instagram DMs to threads and integrate them; allow search for terms not just profiles; a trending topics page would be useful; ability to click into a profile picture to enlarge it; something similar to “close friends” for sharing; more visual customisation of the profile page like a header image or colour choice- it’s a bit plain atm. There’s probably a few more things but I’m liking the direction so far!

Good app but sometimes getting notified for posts that I’m not following

The app is good, although 1 problem is I sometimes get notified from this app when someone that I don’t follow especially politics but I get notified for posts like that and another one which is a big issue is that I bet many accounts I’ve seen on the feed on Threads are bots or something as their are many that post the same pics or videos the same but others say “Hello grow your accounts” etc and there’s also I’ve seen random posts of so many kids mainly speaking Japanese but many I’ve seen that I don’t even follow are little kids around 13 or something dressed in school uniforms, I mean shouldn’t this be like age 18 or 20 to use it. Then again those could be bots too.
