Threads

Threads is Meta's text-first social app, built as a companion to Instagram and positioned as a rival to X.


Threads launched in July 2023 and reached 100 million signups in under a week by letting people join with their existing Instagram account. We cover what to post on Threads in a dedicated guide.

Content on Threads leans conversational: text posts, replies, and reposts, with an algorithmic feed that heavily features accounts you do not follow, giving smaller accounts real reach.
