Threads by Instagram is a new social media app by Meta designed to be a more intimate and personal way to connect with your close friends and family. It’s built on top of Instagram’s infrastructure, so you can use your existing Instagram account to sign in.
However, Threads is a separate app, so it has its own unique features and design. It is totally different from Instagram as it is useful for microblogging just like Twitter.
It was launched on the 5th of July 2023 in 100 countries including Nigeria, the United States Of America, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Japan. Threads is not available in European countries due to regulatory restrictions.
