The recent implementation of tweet limits proved highly unpopular, leading many users to seek alternatives. Recognizing this, Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, took notice.
To compete with Twitter, they have been working on a platform called Threads, which acts as a text-based messaging app integrated with Instagram.
Threads allow users to connect more intimately with close friends and followers. The platform is now live, and accessing it is as simple as a click of a button.
How to Use Threads
To join Threads, download the app from either the App Store or Google Play Store. Follow these steps to get started:
1. Open the app and click on "Log in with Instagram."
2. If you already have the Instagram app installed on your device, Threads will automatically sign you in.

4. Once logged in, you can start messaging your close friends and contacts.
