Discover More with Threads — Instagram’s Text-Based Conversation App


Threads is the perfect platform where communities unite to engage in discussions about everything from current interests to tomorrow's trends. No matter your passion, you can follow and connect with your favorite creators and like-minded individuals, or even cultivate your own audience to share your ideas, opinions, and creativity with the world.

Key Features of Threads



  • Access Your Instagram Followers: Your Instagram username and verification badge are exclusively yours. With just a few taps, automatically follow the same accounts you do on Instagram and discover new ones.


  • Share Your Point of View: Start a new thread to express your thoughts. This is your personal space to be authentic, and you have control over who can reply.


  • Connect with Friends and Creators: Dive into replies to engage with commentary, humor, and insights from your favorite creators. Find your community and connect with those who share your interests.


  • Control the Conversation: Tailor your settings and utilize controls to manage who can view your content, reply to your threads, or mention you. Blocked accounts from Instagram will carry over, and we uphold the same Community Guidelines to ensure safe and genuine interactions.


  • Find Ideas and Inspiration: From TV recommendations to career advice, seek answers to your questions or learn something new through crowd-sourced conversations, thought leaders, and industry experts.


  • Never Miss a Moment: Stay updated on the latest trends and live events. Whether it’s about new music, movie premieres, sports, games, TV shows, fashion, or product launches, find discussions and get notifications whenever 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 worldwide. These servers share information to help you connect and discover new things across the fediverse.
