The web browser version of Instagram Threads, which was one of its most anticipated features, is now live. This is being done while you are still logged in. Users have always put web support at the top of their list of most-wanted features.

Its integration has the ability to make a big difference for users who are still making the switch from platforms like Twitter and X. This change not only meets a basic user need, but it also has the potential to change how users use the site in a big way.

The addition of web support could be a turning point in the growth of the platform, giving users a more flexible and easy way to interact.

Even though users will still be able to make posts, read their feeds, and connect with posts directly from their desktops, the web experience may not have as many features as the Threads mobile app for now.

Web users cannot change their user profile or easily send a thread to Instagram DMs. For now, users can only monitor discussions and not participate.

The report noted that the Threads team is working hard to bring functionality to the web app to match its mobile counterpart in the coming weeks.

How to use a web browser to log into your Threads account

When using threads in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc., end users must enter a URL in the address bar. The URL for your profile page is “threads.net/@ (your Threads username).” If your Threads username is “user123,” your profile page link is “threads.net/@user123.”

Entering your profile page link and pressing Enter opens your web browser to your profile page. This resembles the mobile app profile page.

As indicated, threads on the web have functionality restrictions. Commenting or creating new posts through the online interface is not possible.

A message shows up when you like, comment, or post on the online interface. “Get the app to like, reply, and post.” This message says that for engaging actions, you should use the mobile app instead of the browser interface.

There is a way around being unable to like, comment, or post from the online interface. A thread post link can be copied and shared. This lets you link to a specific conversation or piece of information on Threads.

A new tool to get people more involved

Threads made a big splash when it came out, getting over 100 million users in record time. It grew so fast that it even passed ChatGPT to become the fastest-growing app. This was mostly because of how creatively it used Instagram’s social connections to attract new users.

However, just as quickly as the initial excitement faded, the app suffered a steep decline in user engagement after launch. At the end of July, just a few weeks after its start, the number of daily active users had dropped by 82% to 8 million. This was meant to be the app that would compete with Twitter and X the most.

However since the app is still in beta, important features like a web browser are still being worked on, which could help the app gain a large number of users.
