Description
Say more with Threads — Instagram’s text-based conversation app.
Threads is where communities come together to discuss everything from the topics you care about today to what’ll be trending tomorrow. Whatever it is you’re interested in, you can follow and connect directly with your favorite creators and others who love the same things — or build a loyal following of your own to share your ideas, opinions and creativity with the world!
A few things you can do on Threads…
■ Access your Instagram followers
Your Instagram username and verification badge are reserved for you. Automatically follow the same accounts you follow on Instagram in a few taps, and discover new accounts too.
■ Share your point of view
Spin up a new thread to express what's on your mind. This is your space to be yourself, and you control who can reply.
■ Connect with friends and your favorite creators
Jump to the replies to get in on the action and react to commentary, humor and insight from the creators you know and love. Find your community and connect with people who care about whatever it is you’re interested in.
■ Control the conversation
Customize your settings and use controls to manage who can see your content, reply to your threads, or mention you. Accounts you’ve blocked will carry over from Instagram, and we’re enforcing the same Community Guidelines to help ensure everyone interacts safely and authentically.
■ Find ideas and inspiration
From TV recommendations to career advice, get answers to your questions or learn something new from crowd-sourced conversations, thought leaders and industry experts.
■ Never miss a moment
Stay on top of the latest trends and live events. Whether it’s about new music, movie premieres, sports, games, TV shows, fashion, or the latest product releases, find discussions and receive notifications any time your favorite profiles start a new thread.
■ Leap into the fediverse
Threads is part of the fediverse, a global, open, social network of independent servers operated by third parties around the world. Servers share information with each other to enable people to connect and discover new things across the fediverse.

No IPad support
How is there still no iPad configuration? Works ok on iPhone but man does it suck on iPad.
2026-01-17
Why?
I just got the 26.2 Apple update on my iPad Jan 16 and now Threads is just a small window (can be a slightly bigger one) and I have to look at my wallpaper in behind. This is so irritating. What happened to the background?

Trash.
This is a somehow even worse version of Twitter. The app is clunky and the 2% of the users that aren’t CP bots (oh yeah, did I mention they allow child exploitation on their platform and don’t do anything if you try to report it?) are vile subhumans.
2026-01-12

When your AI or checkers or whatever bans me? Blocks me reports me and I never know why?

Hate Filled. Plain Sad.
Its a platform built from and for hate, all i’ve seen on there is what shouldn’t exist in the world. Bots. AI. People with horrifyingly putrid opinions on other people’s rights to exist. I deleted it after one use because of how quickly it made me sad to see how truly low humanity can go.
1 star cannot encapsulate how immoral this app is being run, bye
2026-01-10
Deceptive and dishonest
Threads sends notifications claiming someone posted a “thread” when it’s actually a Facebook or IG post. Manipulative, misleading and desperate. Create apps people want to use not ones you need to con them into downloading.

I find a lot of posts are getting over a thousand plus likes hold a very similar post from me gets zero likes.
I d engage yet it’s a challenge despite having over two thousand. Thx!

Threads social media app
It’s a great app for sharing your thoughts and ideas. Be mindful and polite because not everything can be posted.

Garbage
Threads, maybe I don't understand it, but I find it utterly useless social media. Can anyone explain its benefits ?

App that will change the world
This app brings real conversation and connection. It is genuine and heartfelt. It is what the world has been missing for so long.
I truly believe this app will change the world. It’s the perfect amount of social media but used in a powerful way. It is not malicious, cold and mean. I feel like I met my people a d even people that don’t feel like my “ people” are still so sweet and amazing! Everyone is so encouraging and kind. It’s the light the world needs at such a dark and dreary time. Thank you so much for creating this platform for people to be human again. Lots of love❤️

Sometimes you don’t want to respond, you just want to read, like and move on. It’s satisfying. Bring back likes, the experience is lacking without them.

Not that great anymore
ever since one of those last few updates its gutter trash. No matter how many times you click on “not interested” or block the same topic. IT STILL SHOWS UP IN UR NEWS FEED. It’s stupid that it’s connected to your IG but won’t block the ppl you have blocked on IG so they can see your threads profile 🫠🙃 and I’ve noticed they fill your news feed with by the comments you leave on others posts. I mentioned, “Pices, virgo, & aquarius” After that my news feed was filled with what i commented. Just because I commented about them don’t mean I want them on my news feed! 🤬🤬🤬BRUH I just want my old news feed back. There is so much negativity on that app now ready to delete app like i did with fb, IG, SC.

Hot garbage
This app provides nothing of meaning or substance, it’s 90% AI or overseas bot farm rage bait ment to divide people. You may ask what the other 10%? The other 10% is a toss up between companies which have a social media presence on the app and hope core bait by more AI or overseas bot farms. A tiny percentage of the content is some actually cool some really content that is pushed to you when your on any of meta’s other apps like facebook or Instagram meant to draw you in and get you use this app and it’s the only reason I still have threads
2025-12-31
I adore it, but…
It’s a beautiful app, everyone keeps complaining for whatever reason they want, and I love to speak with kind, mindful & respectful people, citing, quoting and replying about controversies and any topic that they want to debate on. If it could please be available on iPad, and it is so different from Instagram, because people are actually writing their opinions, they can view them, make notes, answer to other people, and be completely themselves on there. Instagram is like the city and Threads is the nightclub & we’re humanity altogether!
2025-12-31
Great app, but desperately needs dm back
I’m really enjoying the vibe on Threads. But it’s frustrating to have to switch to Instagram every time I want to share something privately with a friend. Please bring back DMs to make the experience complete!
2025-12-30
Fake reviews
Absolutely no way that they have 98,000 reviews and 4 1/2 star rating everyone I know hates this considers it a waste of time gave it up after five minutes, any app that’s going to make up fake reviews me is absolutely suspect, Meta or not

2025-12-28
Promotes hate online
The platform caters to basic dubious human instincts. Promotes online hate speech, conflict, polarity and generally seems to aim to stir engagements through anger and pitting opposing opinions. It’s also clear bots are in unhealthy use to achieve above aims.

This is nice app

Why all day you show me this app i dont want to install my phone

Do NOT install
This app is cancer incarnate.

Annoying notifications
Very annoying “suggested threads” notifications, clearly trying to test the limit of what people will tolerate while trying to keep them tied to this app. Done with it!
2025-09-24
Impossible to turn off notifications
Ended up deleting the app because the notifications are so annoying, it constantly is sending me push notifications about threads I “might like” despite having every single notification possible in the app turned off.
2025-06-13
CHILD EXPLOITATION ON THIS APP
I have an alt Instagram account where I scambait scammers posing as woman attractive trying to get people to send them money. But when I signed up for threads using that account I was disgusted and horrified to find hundreds of images on CHILDREN BEING SEXUALLY EXPLOITED by scammers who are attempting to bait people into sending them money, some of these scammers don’t even hide the fact that they are sexually exploiting children saying that those woman are underage. Being disgusted as I was I spent a half a hour reporting these posts and accounts to get them token down but out of all of my reports none of them got token down. Meta is a trillion dollar company with a great reputation in the Networking industry and yet they are letting children being sexually exploited on their platforms, what would their parents came across this, hell what if it was your son/daughters picture that you came across how would you feel? Do not support this app
2025-05-28
Too many bot accounts pretending to be real female
This is unacceptable! These bots are publishing content repeatedly, and nothing is happening to these accounts! You need to take action or these bots will be everywhere.
2025-05-09
Waste of time
What an absolute waste of time to add another chat platform. I only have Threads for that reason, and if I could delete it without losing my Instagram account, I would. If I wanted to be on a platform full of people spewing their Woke ideology, I’d go to Bluesky. Until then, it’s there because it has to be and I don’t pay attention to it.

2024-09-22
Never download
Wanted to try this out. Now when I delete things off Facebook or Instagram they remain on threads somehow even though I’ve tried to delete the app.
the only solution offered by META is to re-download it and then you can delete things showing up on it.
What a scam
2024-07-02
STOP
Just stop Threads. Never went, never will.
2024-06-04
Just go watch porn, that’s what this site is
Only fans galore, if you want your kids to be corrupted by sex then 100% get this app. Absolutely craven.
2024-05-17
Not a fan
I want to delete but can’t find the option to do so. The icon is removed from my phone but Threads still appears in my Facebook and Instagram feed. It’s distracting and hasn’t provided information I want to see. I want it gone.
2024-04-21
App keeps hiding my “following” column
Update: “Following” column doesn’t work at all now. No point, unless you’re looking for another venue to scroll mindlessly. Silly app.
Previous: I am having to delete and re-add the app every day or two because my “following” column keeps disappearing. I’m not here to see random tictoc videos (enough of that on Instagram). I’m at the point of deleting my account because what’s the point if you can’t read the accounts you WANT to follow?

App sucks so far
Not gonna even title it. It’s nice that there are no scammers yet but Sucks that In order to delete it threads you have to delete instagram.
2024-01-10
Creating this app is a mistake.
People posting very controversial topics there now, and they push this to ig users without threads app. This is damaging users’ mental health. Shut threads down!
2024-01-10
Too much automated censorship
Threads has already twice temp banned me for totally innocuous comments. I am an upstanding social media citizen and I don’t appreciate being told I’m suspected of posting spam and then getting locked out. I’m done with this app. This is not the townhall we are looking for, they are controlling speech to an absolutely radical degree. I gave it a fair shot and it’s a big nope from me. We need a more open non-meta-owned solution to the problem. Scams run rampant, reports are ignored, and meanwhile the system bans good people for speaking up against bad systems/fraudlent advertisers. Total garbage.
The IG widget Threads is also obsessed with pushing outrage. I’m trans and it forces so much transphobia into an otherwise positive IG feed with no way to dismiss. Disgusting.
2024-01-06
Cheap knockoff of Twitter
Cheap knockoff of Twitter, where they openly only advertise liberal leaning “threads” in the Instagram app.

Cluttered and confusing
Twitter felt clear and simple. Threads has too much going on.

Worst app on the market.
This place is where all the worst ideas are left to fester. Where the dredge of the cesspool comes to rear it’s ugly head. Full of pedos, groomers, s** offenders, and sympathizers of the scum. I regret ever downloading it, and someone should look into some of these people. How is this even allowed? Remember, this is coming from a guy who grew up in the “faces of dea**” era. You people are sick.

Can’t delete account
I downloaded this app out of curiosity and now want to delete my account because i’m not using this app and it says i have to delete my insta account to delete this account. Now i keep getting emails and notifications on my instagram about threads even though i deleted the app.
2023-12-16
Trash
No one uses threads and now it has taken over the story share button. It’s annoying. Stop
2023-12-15
Good app, terrible users
Found all the content to be political and on top of that one sided. That’s not why I’m on the internet I want to see funny videos not read multiple unintelligent people arguing with each other. This app is just for people who “canceled” twitter or x. SMH. Make the internet great again

Oh and it collects even more data than spying helecopter parents do.
Nah. Instantly deleted.

Copy of X
Why Mark zakerburg copy all social media platform just only to use facebook & its app. Every app has unique & holds its value. Facebook copy youtube , copy tik tok , copy snapchat , copy messenger app and so on.
Mark Zakerburg just steal the user data and use them.
2023-09-02
This app is pointless
This is basically a Walmart version of Twitter. There’s zero point to having this. Plus I saw another review say it steals all your info like contacts, financial info, fitness and health, etc
2023-07-28
Just like Instagram👎🏻
Instagram use to be great ……… now like threads is full of garbage I don’t follow
Seriously Mark this disappointed me so much. I’m tired of all the “suggestions and sponsored “ crap in my time line, it’s just like Instagram. All I want to see are the time lines of those I follow. NO suggestions and maybe one advertisement OCCASIONALLY !
Threads is full of crap just like Instagram that I didn’t sign up for ……….. as bad as Twitter is, it’s better than Threads
2023-07-22
Can’t search up topics
This looks like it has potential, but I can’t look up topics the same way I could with instagram or twitter. It’s pretty useless in its current state.
2023-07-21
Don’t Download its A TRAP
Worst app ever! Gives you fake notifications so u check it and once u get it u cant delete it or else u need to delete instagram BEWAARE
2023-07-14
Forces to make Instagram account first
That’s ridiculous. If you don’t have a Instagram account you can’t create/open a account on this app.
They just want your private data and information thru connecting your multiple accounts.
Will never create Instagram account to access this app
2023-07-14
Cheaply made Twitter
What’s the purpose of this app?
Feels like this was made out of a hackathon.
2023-07-08
Have no rights and can’t delete account
Learn your rights, stop giving apps your freedom and privacy
2023-07-08
Twitter ripoff, government censor & data collector for the elite
The info they collect is scary and you should be very concerned what they are doing with your data! As we know Meta canjot be trusted and is a part of government spying and pushing misinformation and preventing free thought and free speech! They collect: Health & Fitness, Purchases, Financial Info, Location, Contacts, Contact Info, User Content, Browsing History, Search History, Identifiers, all Usage Data, Diagnostics, Sensitive Info, Other Data. They don’t need this unless they are selling all your data and helping build a social credit score system. Wake up…. Meta is bad news for you and your children’s future!
2023-07-08
idk how to get it out of my bio
the badge number in my bio looks horrible. everytime i try to remove it by pressing remove it just comes right back when i refresh. fix this pls. i also think it’s silly that you have to delete ur whole instagram account in order to delete ur threads account.
2023-07-07
Already censored
Just out of the gate and already censoring basic stuff like what’s going on in France as just one example
2023-07-06
Here first
We’ll see if this app is a flop or not lol
2023-07-06
cannot register
You have to have an ins account to login this app, and you are not allowed to create a new account, that is stupid
2023-07-06
Thread the needle
@dylan.698 for some crazy thoughts
2023-07-06
needs more features
things that need to be added asap:
- separate “following” page & “for you” page
- hashtags, people need to find similar stuff
- search bar that also finds people’s posts, not just accounts
- trending page
- gifs
2023-07-06
Words
Most words are blocked. You can’t even disagree respectfully on this platform.
2023-07-06
GIVE THE BADGE BACK PLEASE
The app is fine. But I don’t understand why we can’t have the badge back after hiding it. Please let us unhide it on our profile. This is unfair! Imagine if someone accidentally hid it :(
2023-07-06
No iPad app… in 2023.
Like the Instagram app, still no support for iPad. Unacceptable.
