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.
■ Open social networking – coming soon
In the future, there will be ways to discover more content and reach wider audiences: we are planning features that allow you to search for, follow and interact with users on open, interoperable social networks that we believe can shape the future of the internet.

Ratings and Reviews
Really good, but needs work
The app is really good and has a clean interface. I know this app is still a working progress so here are some features I think should be added…
Feature 1:
More options in threads like GIFS, Polls, Hashtags, Locations, Bold and italic text, and lastly voice threads as-well (hard to moderate but would be really cool feature).
Feature 2:
A trending hashtags system.. This would be a good feature to add because it can give people insight on trending topics in their region or country.
Feature 3:
Adding more profile customisation.. A good start to this would be the ability for users to add a banner (could be GIFS aswell) to their profiles.
You guys are doing super good with the app right now but these were some things I think would be a good addition to the app! 😆
Pretty good content but the comment section structure is confusing
I find that the comment sections on here are hard to track. I can't always tell who's responding to who in order to follow or keep up a conversation. On reddit it's much easier for example to keep talking along the same line with someone because of the way the lines at the left lead you from one iteration of a conversation to another. It also has a ‘view parent comment’ and a ‘view all comments’ button that would be handy in Threads. I have difficulty engaging with anyone beyond one or 2 comments if there's more than one person commenting in that posts’ comment section.
Reminds of me Facebook in 08’
I Threads to post statuses like the old Facebook days before walls and we just had profiles. The stuff you see on your home page isn't organic, it's just content managers pushing generic content. One room for improvement is to add a draft mode for posts. Has the potential but lacks support atm.
