When you first download it on your phone, it will ask you to fill in details. On the bottom, you can import all the information from your IG account, including your profile image, bio, and contacts.

If you want to access it on mobile, you should download it from Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Once you have created your Id or added details via Instagram, you should be able to post a thread on your profile.

  • The biggest difference between Threads and Twitter is that to get a blue tick on the latter platform, a person has to pay $8 per month. However, a verified user on Instagram will have a credible account on the former platform.
  • According to a Bloomberg report, Threads has been launched without ads to attract more users.
  • For using Threads, a person must have a profile on Instagram, but there is no such compulsion for any user to use Twitter. You can sign-up with your preferred details.
  • You can post only 20 seconds videos on Twitter, but you will be able to post at least a 5-minute video on Threads.
  • Twitter (Twitter Battles Impersonator Accounts After Launching Paid Verification System) has a limit of 280 characters per tweet, whereas you can publish around 500 characters in one thread. Do you think this will work in favour of Threads and help the platform grow its popularity?
  • You can see what is trending on Twitter, but we do not have that option on threads yet.
  • Threads will follow the same content regulations that Instagram does. We all are aware of the regulations on Twitter.

We cannot wait to see the chaos and trends that this new platform will set. Follow HerZindagi on Threads for regular updates.
