You can choose to follow the same accounts you do on Instagram, and find more people who care about the same things you do. Įveryone who is under 16 (or under 18 in certain countries) will be defaulted into a private profile when they join Threads. Y our Instagram username and verification will carry over, with the option to customize your profile specifically for Threads. It’s easy to get started with Threads: simply use your Instagram account to log in. And you can use our existing suite of safety and user controls. Just like on Instagram, with Threads you can follow and connect with friends and creators who share your interests – including the people you follow on Instagram and beyond. Our vision with Threads is to take what Instagram does best and expand that to text, creating a positive and creative space to express your ideas. Instagram is where billions of people around the world connect over photos and videos. We are working toward making Threads compatible with the open, interoperable social networks that we believe can shape the future of the internet.
Whether you’re a creator or a casual poster, Threads offers a new, separate space for real-time updates and public conversations. Mark Zuckerberg just announced the initial version of Threads, an app built by the Instagram team for sharing with text.
