Threads can be downloaded through the Google Play Store app stores , on the Android operating system, or the App Store , on iOS.
Instagram users will be able to use their existing account to log in, so their username and verification will be transferred to the new app, with the option to customize their information. Name, bio, and even profile picture can be imported.
In turn, according to the announcement, anyone under india mobile database 16 (or under 18 in certain countries) will automatically have a private profile when they join Threads and we can already smell how it will become a new headache for cybersecurity in children and young people under the age of majority.
Want to follow everyone you follow on Instagram? As soon as they're setting up their profile, Threads users can choose whether they want to follow the same accounts they follow on Instagram or start a new life.
Users of the new app will be able to control who mentions or replies to them, and will also be able to add hidden words to filter out replies that include specific words.
“You can unfollow, block, restrict, or report a profile in Threads by clicking the three-dot menu, and any accounts you’ve blocked on Instagram will automatically be blocked in Threads.”
Threads joins the fediverse
Threads promises to work with the fediverse (yes, as deformed as it sounds), a new type of social media network that allows people to follow and interact with each other on different platforms, such as Mastodon, the open-source social network that has been growing as an alternative to stopping using Twitter.
