Here’s everything you’ll love to know about creating a Threads account and getting started on the Meta app!

Threads, a messaging app from Meta, couldn’t have come out at a better time. Here’s how to sign up for and use Threads right now if you want to try out the social media service.

How to Sign Up for Threads

Meta’s Threads app is built on the Instagram network and works closely with it. Threads is not a stand-alone service like Twitter, so you will need an Instagram account to use it.

Here’s how to sign up for Instagram and set up your page if you don’t have one already.

Install Android or iOS Threads.

After installing and opening the app, an Instagram login will be required. If the Threads login screen doesn’t show any Instagram accounts, connect to Instagram on your device and reopen the programme.

After choosing an Instagram account, you’ll be prompted to customize your Threads profile. Your Instagram username is imported.

Your Threads profile can have a bio, a unique link, or an import from Instagram.

The privacy screen follows. You may enable or disable thread page visibility here. Instagram privacy may differ from Threads. To continue, select “Public profile” or “Private profile.”

Follow your Instagram accounts on the next screen. Threads let you follow specific accounts or all of your Instagram followers.

After this, your Threads account is ready. Click through the welcome page to access your Threads timeline. Now that you’re on Threads, how do you use the sleek new app?

Twitter-like Threads. The unmistakable similarities have made some people on the platform joke about how Mark Zuckerberg simply copied and pasted the app. Twitter and Threads operate differently. Here’s how to post your first Threads message after signing up:

How to Create a Post on Threads

To create a Threads post, follow these steps:

The thread creation screen is accessible from anywhere in the Threads app by tapping the Create icon in the centre bottom.

Enter text. Tap Add to Thread to add a text block if your text doesn’t fit. Thread posts are 500 characters.

Tap Anyone can reply. Use the bottom left corner of your thread creation screen to choose who can reply. You can restrict replies to followers, mentions, or everyone, the default.

Post in the bottom-right corner to publish.

How to Change Your Username and Profile Picture on Threads

You can’t modify your Threads username or profile photo on the app. Alter your Instagram username or profile image to alter your Thread profile.

Thread: Follow/Unfollow Instructions

Threads may skew your timeline. It might feel like the same wine in a different bottle because the same Instagram users are assaulting you. You may have too many unfamiliar accounts. Follow the additional accounts you want on your timeline to fix this.

To follow accounts on Threads:

Tap the bottom search icon.

Follow any of the accounts on the search page, or type the account name to search and follow it.

Twitter’s Real Competition: Threads

While other apps have taken advantage of Elon Musk’s rocky stint as Twitter chief, few have received the financial backing and publicity that Meta has given Threads.

It may be Twitter’s first true competitor in microblogging. How will Twitter compare? Time will tell.
