Thread Release Meta, Twitter-like App for Instagram Users

META, a global technology company that operates various popular platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram, has launched Threads, an application that offers a similar experience with Twitter, but is specifically aimed at Instagram users.

Login with Instagram account to access threads

When you first download the Threads application, users are asked to login using their Instagram account. This shows that threads can only be accessed by users who already have an Instagram account. However, it should be noted that the registration option without using an Instagram account is not available in this application. For users who have several accounts registered on Instagram, threads make it easy to choose the account you want to use.

Integration of user data in meta systems

META has integrated all user data from social media platforms under the auspices of the company, including Facebook and Instagram, into the thread system. This means that all thread user data will be stored in the meta system. Users cannot create threads accounts without first having an Instagram account, and this limitation distinguishes threads from Twitter.

Uniqueness in Handles Format in META-Release Threads

One of the significant differences between threads and other social media platforms is the format of handles or usernames used. Handles generally consist of a combination of letters, symbols, and numbers, but in threads, handles consist of numbers, such as @12345. Although these numerical handles are not visible in the threads, they will appear in the user’s Instagram profile under the username. META has also planned that threads can interact with third-party applications such as Mastodon in the future.

Interesting features in threads

Threads offer some interesting features that set it apart from other social media platforms. After the user has made the initial settings, the threads display several menus at the bottom of the screen, such as Home, Search, New Threads, Activity, and Profile. In threads, users can create new posts, upload text, create advanced content or threads, and include files in the form of photos or videos. Users can also like content, comment, repost content (similar to retweets), and share threads via Direct Message(DM) threads.

Conclusion Meta Threads Release, Twitter-like App

With the launch of the Threads app by META, Instagram users can enjoy an experience similar to Twitter in a familiar environment. Although this application has limitations in terms of registration using Instagram accounts and different handle formats, threads offer interesting features and the potential to interact with third-party applications in the future.
