What is Threads?

The app was launched on 5th July 2023 as an extension of Instagram. This means having an Insta profile is a prerequisite to accessing Threads. But, unlike Instagram – a place for people to connect over photos and videos, Threads promotes text-based content. It allows creators to express their ideas, in a 500-character-long post that may or may not include links, photos, and videos. You can easily share these posts on your Insta Story.
