How Does Threads Function?
(CoinUnited.io) — Threads’ interface closely resembles Twitter. Users can create posts with a maximum limit of 500 characters and incorporate various media elements such as links, gifs, videos, and photos. They can follow other accounts, like and repost posts, and send them via direct message. Additionally, users have the option to filter certain words from their feeds by choosing to “block” them.
When Did Threads Launch?
Despite being publicly launched recently, Threads had already gained attention from notable celebrities like Shakira and Gordon Ramsey, who posted on the app prior to its official release.
Is It Possible to Delete a Threads Account?
As stated in Threads’ supplementary privacy policy, the only way to delete a Threads account is by also deleting the user’s linked Instagram account. This policy has received criticism from some users who feel “trapped” by the inability to delete their Threads account.Threads can be downloaded through app stores on mobile devices.
Integration with Instagram
When users sign up for Threads, their entire Instagram follower list automatically carries over to the new app. Users have the freedom to choose which accounts they want to follow or unfollow on Threads, just as they would on Instagram.
Threads’ Availability on Desktop
Currently, the Threads app is only available for mobile download on Apple and Android app stores. However, Threads accounts, including Zuckerberg’s, can be accessed through desktop web browsers if users know the account handle.
Following Accounts on Threads
Threads is closely integrated with Meta’s Instagram platform. Initially, users will follow the same accounts they follow on Instagram, provided those accounts have also joined Threads. Additionally, users can follow other accounts on Threads by visiting their respective profiles.
Usage of Hashtags on Threads
While hashtags are prevalent for tracking specific topics on Instagram and Twitter, they do not appear to have functionality on Threads at present.
