Threads is a fast and fun way to keep up with what your friends are doing and express how you feel. In this article, we tell you everything you need to know about Threads and how you can start using it today.
What is Threads and how does it work?
Threads is a standalone app from Instagram, but it is linked to your account and your Close Friends list. You can create your own Close Friends list on Instagram or use the one you already have. Threads lets you send private messages to these people, as well as share photos and videos with fun filters and effects. You can also create a custom status to show your friends how you feel or what you are doing at any moment. Threads has a feature called Auto Status, which updates your status automatically based on your location, movement, or battery level. For example, if you are at the gym, Threads can set your status to “Sweating”. If you are driving, it can set “On the move”. If you have low battery, it can set “Low energy”. You can turn this feature on or off at any time and choose what information you want to share with your friends.
