Threads, an Instagram app Reviews

ThreadsanInstagramapp has an amazing feel , i really enjoy the layout it has , just generally how things are set up . but , there are many things i think should be added to updates further down the road . first off , theres no trending page . one of the things that was very useful to most people on twitter was the trending page , which is now replaced with a "who to follow" section , which shows up on your timeline as well . also , no dms !!! i get that its an instagram app , but i hate having to go back and forth between apps just to message someone . another issue i have is how you cannot set up and an account without having instagram , and how you cannot delete your threads account without deleting your instagram account . like i said , i understand that its connected , but itd feel a little more freeing , i guess , having the accounts be separate , or at LEAST being able to change your name/username without going into the instagram app . ALSOO , i hate how your timeline isnt , or is at least very hard to get , tailored to you . ive followed many , many people , and still get random people or celebrities ive never heard of popping up on my feed , with jokes or sayings i have no interest in . maybe its because ThreadsanInstagramapp is new , but i feel like a lot of other apps have adapted a lot quicker . despite these downsides though , i think ThreadsanInstagramapp is great . for what it has already , i havent noticed any actual issues with using it . no bugs or anything .

I’ve been hoping for something to replace Twitter and Facebook for awhile now (since Twitter was ruined and Facebook has been less and less personal for years) — so naturally Threads intrigued me. So far I’m cautiously optimistic, but it does bother me that it’s owned by Facebook/Instagram and ThreadsanInstagramapp is very minimal at the start. So we’ll see how it goes.

My wife and I both downloaded Threads within 24 hours of each other. I’ve had a positive experience with it so far, but for some reason her account showed her some very questionable stuff (three posts in around thirty seconds of scrolling). I’m guessing this is because I follow more accounts so I don’t see posts from unfollowed accounts, but it could also be due to Instagram privacy/security settings since many of those sync over.

My main concern at this point is with content visibility control. When someone I follow replies to someone I don’t, I should see a button to show the original post and not the full post by default. There should not be random posts on the feed, especially when they highlight risqué photos. Some people may like seeing unrelated posts, but there needs to be a simple control for seeing this or not. As it stands, my wife has deactivated her account already (less than ten minutes of use) and I may be following suit rather shortly. I understand it’s very new still, but this is important and needs to be addressed promptly for the sake of users and the platform.

If i could give it 0 stars I would. There are so many issues with ThreadsanInstagramapp. First of all, I couldn’t be logged into instagram and threads at the same time without getting automatically logged out of the other. ThreadsanInstagramapp in itself is poorly made, they made it so simple that it ended up not being user friendly. Forcing you to connect it to an instagram, keeping the same username,(some people enjoy privacy!), and impersonal timelines that are filled with unfunny verified accounts that are impossible to get rid of no matter how many you mute. You can’t even follow enough accounts you like to keep the stuff you don’t like off your timeline. Tried deactivating my threads account, not only will it not fully deactivate but you can’t remove the badge on your instagram no matter what you do, even though it tells you that you can. It just pops back up every time you restart ThreadsanInstagramapp or change tabs. I feel like i’m being forced to participate in something I no longer want to be a part of. This is such a terrible app I can barely put it into words. And to think that verified accounts had it before me and it still has all these issues is shocking. Very disappointing. Basically, if you like twitter, avoid ThreadsanInstagramapp. If you don’t like twitter, avoid ThreadsanInstagramapp. Even my LovenseRemote app is made better than threads.

Downloaded yesterday and I’m enjoying it for what it is so far; sign-up was super easy since you can import all your data from Instagram, and I love how you can directly access other accounts’ Insta pages to follow them there too.

My only issue is that ThreadsanInstagramapp feels a little bare-bones as of now. I understand it’s brand new and will be in the process of developing itself over time, but I’d love to see a bit more in terms of interface. ThreadsanInstagramapp feels a bit empty without a proper tagging system and it’s extremely hard for me to find new content and users to follow because my feed is mostly people I already follow on Instagram (plus random verified accounts and one or two new creators I find interest in). Please consider implementing a hashtag or keyword function for the Search bar (or maybe even an Explore page), and I’d probably find a lot more interest in ThreadsanInstagramapp !

Overall, this is a pretty decent start and I’m interested to see where it goes next… and to have a place to post my 3 AM intrusive thoughts.

I expect the posts on my feed to be from only the pages that I follow but what I get in addition to those posts is posts from pages that I don't even follow at all & have zero interest in following on Threads. So Meta/Instagram/Facebook could fix that please.

The other thing is since I have two different Instagram & Thread accounts (one is my personal & the other is my artsy one that I use for arts & crafts, beauty, quotes, entertainment, & other fun, innocent stuff), I need a way similar to Twitter's way of switching accounts that makes it easier to switch accounts.

Other changes need to be made as well but these two are the ones I want the most. I am not asking for perfection & the most perfect app since perfection is an overrated illusion, but I also understand that this is a new app & so there might be things to improve so I'm sure constructive feedback from users would be appreciated.

I will preface this by saying that I very rarely access social media; I use Snapchat for a handful of people and have a Facebook account for Marketplace. I am also NOT an Elon fanboy. ThreadsanInstagramapp is made very well, as Meta has quite a robust budget and talented programming team. Aside from that, I don’t like how the people you follow are shuffled between random check marks and that it’s unfiltered. Good for a basic, feed-central social media. With all that being said, ThreadsanInstagramapp will cause nothing but trouble. Elon Musk’s primary reason for purchasing Twitter in the first place was to divorce it from political power and fumigate the existing echo chamber. Less shadow-banning led to a more balanced ecosystem of opinions. Mark Zuckerberg, head of Meta which was known to sell user information and bolster an all around terrible support ticket system, is making a new “Twitter” right before an election cycle. I can’t wait to see how one-sided things shall be on Threads and not Twitter. I do not wish to continue using either app, however I feel as if a neutral opinion was warranted.

I enjoyed the onboarding experience of bringing in my Instagram followers. But then I was faced with an identity crisis. I’m a suburban mom on Instagram and an industry leader on Twitter. I don’t mix the two and it felt awkward. I trimmed some followers and found several Twitter friends.

I am irritated by the forced content from people I’m not following because it feels like I’m standing in the tabloid section of a grocery store. Facebook started doing this a few months ago and it drives me crazy. It is a constant stream of ads for brands and influencers I have no loyalty to. I understand that it makes ThreadsanInstagramapp more addictive and makes you feel like you have to constantly check it to stay up on the latest trends, but I quite Twitter because of this. I’m tired of hitting Mute and Block on Threads just to enjoy my feed of the latest trends in my industry. Let me curate my content and be intentional about what I consume. I really don’t want to know what Hollywood celebrities are doing. If this “feature” continues, this will be the reason I don’t use Threads.

I'm rooting for a Twitter replacement but threads it not it so far. The extreme connection to Instagram is really annoying. I want them to be separate, I don't want every change I make to have to reflect on both apps. I want separate usernames and pfps and I want it to not open Instagram every single time I want to change the smallest setting.
It also desperately needs a "people you follow" timeline. It took only a few days for my ENTIRE feed to be absolutely zero people I follow and exclusively celebrities, brands, and influencers so until they implement a timeline change, ThreadsanInstagramapp is completely pointless and not really usable unless I want to spend several hours being nonstop advertised to. This could possibly work and take a lot of traffic away from Twitter as it descends into a bigoted trash heap but it needs an insane amount of work. Less hardcore connection to Instagram and better feeds. Otherwise it's just going to flounder for a while and eventually die as we all move back to Twitter or tumblr.

so far, i am enjoying ThreadsanInstagramapp. obviously there are some features missing that i want, but it is good so far for it’s first update.

my one complaint about the current features though…the words i have hidden are still showing up on my timeline. this must be a bug, but it is a frustrating one, because there are certain posts i absolutely do not want to see and yet i’m still seeing them. i hope this can be fixed soon!!

otherwise, the algorithm seems much better to twitter, although it still needs some work. i’m looking for a following tab that hopefully i can make my default timeline, so i’m not seeing so many random accounts. i would also like a feature where you can switch between accounts easily, like on instagram, and i want their to be a close friends equivalent!

Threads, an app renowned for its unique features, has gained significant popularity and emerged as a preferred choice among users. Offering a range of advantages, Threads stands out as a superior platform. One notable aspect is its emphasis on fostering intimate and focused conversations, allowing users to create private groups and establish genuine connections. Moreover, Threads excels in content curation, providing personalized recommendations based on individual interests and preferences, resulting in a more tailored and enriching user experience. ThreadsanInstagramapp 's intuitive design and seamless interface further contribute to a smooth and enjoyable browsing experience, setting Threads apart as an innovative social media platform. With its distinct features and user-friendly approach, Threads is redefining the landscape of microblogging and gaining recognition as a prominent contender in the realm of social media.

I managed to make a few posts, comments, and shares before it started to crash. I can view feeds and profiles and I can like posts but when I go to comment or create a post it crashes- app closes out. I have logged out and logged back in ( which worked once) and I have deleted and reinstalled ThreadsanInstagramapp several times. There isn't anything wrong with my internet connection, I have plenty of space, no additional apps running in the background and both my iPhone and ThreadsanInstagramapp itself are at their current updated version. I have tagged them in issues on Instagram stories, I have messaged directly and then managed to send a ticket through ThreadsanInstagramapp all with no response. I understand if this was a user-wide issue due to ThreadsanInstagramapp being new but it is not. I would have better to say because I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the beginning but can no longer enjoy because I can no longer engage. A fix is needed.

ThreadsanInstagramapp is super smooth. I love everything about it. Would be dope to be able to DM friends on here. The day that happens, Threads will most likely become my 1st app choice. There's a few bugs I hope they crank out, but overall smooth. I would prefer seeing post of people I follow vs seeing a bunch of random checkmark folks & businesses I don't even follow talk nonsense. I'm trying to see what my friends are Threading, not a verified wendys account.

The only other issue I have is ThreadsanInstagramapp keeps force quitting when I try to thread. I try to log out and even reset ThreadsanInstagramapp . I've updated ThreadsanInstagramapp & updated my iPhone, yet it keeps booting me out ThreadsanInstagramapp every single time I try to post a thread. Its super annoying. Makes me not want to open ThreadsanInstagramapp and thread when I inspiration to post something. Kills the motivation.

The poor performance of the service was the worst part of it overall. Takes way too long for anything to load including just text which is crazy to me given Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and really any other service is generally quick even with content that is media rich. The other problem is the feed is boring. I see plenty of things that are utterly uninteresting to me despite the likely importing of my interests and data from instagram. I would have expected that that would having me seeing things that were at least semi relevant to me but that is not the case. The thing I like about twitter is the ability to curate what I want to see but the approach here seems to be that the user is not in control of what they see or don’t see. All that said if this all was improved I could see myself liking Threads but for now it’s not that great

App that was definitely just dropped because people were fussing about twitter again and don’t get me wrong because I’d love to see new competition so twitter will step up and stop making dumb decisions, but as of now, why would I have any reason to use threads? Profiles are boring and messy, no customization besides changing your icon and putting a link, no pinned posts or some sort of media tab, no way to browse people you ACTUALLY follow, and what was the point of flexing no ads if the following feed is brand after brand after brand anyways? There’s also no dms.
Uninstalled after muting over a hundreds accounts, random celebrities and tiktok stars and brands I’ve never even heard of just keep appearing. Not worth your time, just keep using instagram because really, what’s the point of ThreadsanInstagramapp with how empty it is? Maybe in the future they will add dms and options to pin posts or have a media tab, but I legitimately can’t believe people were hyping up what’s half of a finished app

Please don’t fumble ThreadsanInstagramapp. I’m not trying to see a bunch of random people w/ check marks on my timeline. Let me choose who and what I want to see. I don’t want to see ads and bots everywhere like on Facebook & Instagram 🙄. I’d like to see more UI changes, everything seems small. Not compressed but the font & profile pics, names and three dots to mute/block/report is kinda on the small side and very easy to misclick. Is there an algorithm? Will there be “based on what you like”? Will we be able to switch accounts like on Instagram just by double tapping the profile tab? Will we get a following tab, so we don’t have to weed through random threads? Will we be able to have muted & blocked accounts carry over to our Thread account? If I mute someone why am I still able to see their replies in others threads?

so far, i like threads. it’s pretty solid for now, it can be better. that being said, i do have some suggestions for ThreadsanInstagramapp developers to improve ThreadsanInstagramapp for users:

CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER!
only the ppl i follow and their activity should be in my timeline, not these other random users…put them on a separate page
the separate page should be our home page with news, pop culture events, hashtags you follow, and the random users/suggested posts here
pls give us hashtags!
search by hashtags and words, not just users
thumbs down for threads (dislike count not shown public)
pls give us a gif library in the threads post area
a drafts/save for later tab for threads
following count put by the follower count too. why is it just one? show both or neither, pls pick one
show list of likes + the option to keep it private
saved/bookmarks tab (private)
dms/private messages on here
voice message for threads
close friends thread list
these changes would make a lot of people (including me) use ThreadsanInstagramapp a whole lot more and come back to give a higher review rating. we thank you for the hard work so far. and thx for listening!🩷

Its like Twitter... only its called Threads. The immediate vibe that I got was that its intended to be a place for millennials to feel that sense of being cool again, like they once did when they got Facebook for the first time.

The other problem is that I dont see what void its trying to fill, or what problem its trying to solve, other than being another Twitter "killer" that is going to solve all the perceived non existent problems of Twitter (Remember when everyone was all excited over the Facebook Killers known as either Google Plus or Diaspora?).

I also don't really see how it heightens or enhances instagram, either. Instagram is for all intents, well laid out despite the fact that you cant have a chronological feed that shows you everyone you follow (which it would be nice to scroll through my followers, and not my top interactions + whatever else instagram's algorithm tosses up). Btw, thanks for not allowing me to delete Threads unless I delete my Insta, there is simply no reason for that much tie-in. Regardless now I have a silly @ like symbol on my profile that redirects to a defunct threads link, so good job for useless features.

Lastly, in regards to people complaining about toxicity on Twitter as a reason for ThreadsanInstagramapp to exist, I would suggest that Twitter is neither toxic or pure, but that most have no clue how go actually use it, as all algorithms are a result of what you, the user, put into it.

A real sense of community without spam, nudity, and general content you do not wish to see. There may be a sacrifice of my anonymous data being sold to corps, but I am getting exactly what I want so I don’t care. Peace and tranquility and a sense of community is what I was attempting to find on other apps, and this is the first one. It’s a conversation! It’s not an argument. It’s not spoon feeding me videos all day as I scroll past over and over again. This is a new way for me to interact with people of my interests without being bombarded with outside influences.

Nevertheless, there is still a great mixture of conversations you can randomly begin to be a part of that may not be of interest.

This is the gen z app where inclusion is of the highest priority, and community is cherished.

ThreadsanInstagramapp is obviously in its early stages, with missing features like dms and a trending page. Still, I think ThreadsanInstagramapp runs very smooth, looks nice, and has great potential. I’ve already seen an increase of activity as the days go by, and I’m excited to see ThreadsanInstagramapp grow!

To everyone who is leaving 1 star reviews, realize that ThreadsanInstagramapp came out less than a week ago. You have no sense of how apps work if you think they would have all functions available at once. Of course it’s not perfect, and you shouldn't expect that from ANY new app. Especially considering a new social media platform is impossibly difficult to start up. But we know it’s more than just another app review for some of you out there.

I was scrolling on my feed liking posts when I suddenly got banned for "spam" despite never even posting, only liking posts. I tried to contest the ban but then ThreadsanInstagramapp completely froze for multiple minutes. I restarted ThreadsanInstagramapp and now it just says there's been an error. I even deleted and redownloaded ThreadsanInstagramapp and it still has the same message that I cant escape. there's literally nothing I can do. I'm just glad I made the account with a new instagram and not my personal account because if my actual instagram got banned for no reason I would be even more mad. On top of this, ThreadsanInstagramapp itself is like they combined all the worst parts of twitter and instagram, and left out anything good. The feed is clogged with posts accounts from accounts you don't follow, there's no post notification tab, no translate button, you can't select text, you can't search for specific posts, interface is cluttered, I could go on.

Got fed up with Twitter and decided to use Threads. I already have an account on insta so the sign-up process was smooth which is appreciated. If you’re familiar with how Twitter functions, Threads is similar and will be easy to pick up.

Some stuff I’ve noticed that I hope will be added soon: “search engine” is nonexistent, hashtags don’t work (cuz there’s no “search engine” I’m gonna assume), and if you wanna plan out future posts you can’t. Idk if it’s due to this being an early version of ThreadsanInstagramapp and it not being completely finished + not wanting to be super similar to Instagram + wanting to differentiate itself from Instagram since all those features are available on that app but it would be nice to include them in Threads. Pls add these functions to Threads! Thanks in advance

Threads is already a hugely better app than the dumpster fire that Twitter has become under the South African Blood Diamond heiress, space penis builder, and exploding car maker. It seems to operate smoothly, but there’s still a feeling of difficulty on how to post and repost like it is at instagram. I’m not sure if the hashtags are going to be as awkward either, as in more geared towards marketing than trending topics. This would all be easier to navigate if ThreadsanInstagramapp wasn’t showing up so small — basically smart phone size — on my tablet. I mean, I can just switch to my phone, but yeah it bugs me when the size won’t integrate smoothly to the size of the screen. Otherwise, it’s a good app, and will likely replace Twitter in my social media time. Hopefully the size of ThreadsanInstagramapp to screen ratio is figured out quickly. I’m happy they provided a functioning app that’s not forever in beta.

this is literally the better twitter. the community is less toxic and ThreadsanInstagramapp as a whole is just better. there’s way less ads which is also a plus. HOWEVER one of the main problems is in your main feed, there tends to be a bunch of random threads from people you don’t even follow or associate with who you follow. i do understand that this is a new app though and the algorithm is a work in progress which is understandable. one thing i think would make ThreadsanInstagramapp a little cooler, and even better than twitter, is if you had app theming, kinda like how you can theme the direct messages on instagram, but instead have it on threads, and have it be the whole app. (it would be really cool to open up a pink threads app 🤭) overall i think ThreadsanInstagramapp is really cool, good job 👍

If the best thing that can be said for Threads is it’s a “safe space” away from Twitter/X “toxicity”, one really needs to look inward rather than to an app to make one feel better or safer. After that there is the issue that Instagram and Threads cannot be logged in simultaneously, the early stage of development, it feels rushed out and not complete, just basic and simple. And more. Check other critical reviews, all valide points. Will it improve before daily user count falls off a cliff? 50/50. My bet is Meta will eventually throw in the towel as you never get a second chance at first impressions. The daily user count is rapidly trending downward in close proximity to introduction when it should be climbing upwards toward critical mass. Not a death knell, but a leading indicator of judgement by users. Meta should be increasing daily user count at this point, moving the needle in a positive direction. If there isn’t a community of sufficient size to not just maintain but grow daily users there will not be momentum to sustain it. You can either “Grow or Die”. There is no in-between, balancing on the head of pin. It’s going to take an enormous effort/change and differentiation to set Threads apart from alternatives just to turn the negative momentum around. Crystal balling today, Threads looks set to join the Metaverse in Metas portfolio.

The threads app is ThreadsanInstagramapp everyone wants to love but they don’t give us any features that we need in order to love it. If you like a post, you have no history of your likes, so you can’t go back to it later. This is a privacy concern because you cannot track the posts that you liked. You can’t go deep in your settings somewhere and find this because it doesn’t exist. Facebook has always hidden features like likes in inscrutable settings that the average user cannot find. This is not a transparent solution. We need a separate likes tab and we need bookmarks for privately marking things. Also missing from ThreadsanInstagramapp are hashtags, anf any search whatsoever except for searching for names of accounts. There is no chronological timeline even though I thought that was promised in this version of ThreadsanInstagramapp , but it is not there in the update so far. Overall a disappointment of an app, unless you want to follow random influencers, sports accounts and famous people.

I downloaded ThreadsanInstagramapp a few minutes after its public launch and have used it daily since then. I like the interface and the regular updates that add more functionality to ThreadsanInstagramapp .
I think this could be the most viable alternative to the X app and I can already see that it is becoming and exciting progressive space.
It is also heartening to know that ThreadsanInstagramapp is not at the mercy of the whims of a single owner but that there is a team behind it. It’s also good to know that the team is responsive to user suggestions and actually incorporates those suggestions in further development.
Overall, I am hopeful that Threads will keep growing and become a vibrant space for a diverse community of users.
Thank you so much, Meta, for creating ThreadsanInstagramapp!!

Well I just downloaded ThreadsanInstagramapp and it’s a lot different than being just on Insta. Here is what I have noticed so far . Instead of tapping on the post to like it you have to tap the heart instead of double tapping the pic itself to like it which is fine ..no complaints. And to reply or post a comment on a picture or video then tap the post and post your comment. I also noticed that one post so far had a swear word but wasn’t a bit offended at all …Freedom Of Speech and Expression. So I do hope this continues as so many of our rights are being taken away by people that are trying to rewrite our American Constitution. All in all all I will say is this….ignore the negative reviews and read the positive ones about ThreadsanInstagramapp…if you want your full voice to be heard which is the way it should always be!

I got threads the day it was released and for about one and a half weeks it was running great and was a lot of fun, certainly a lot more than Twitter. Then all of a sudden ThreadsanInstagramapp completely broke. I still have a feed where I can see what others post, but I cannot see any replies, send any replies of my own, see any sort of account activity I might have, and not see any of my posts I shared when ThreadsanInstagramapp was still working. The only thing I still get is notifications that I have a new follower. Great! But when I log in to see my activity there’s literally nothing there. I have tried absolutely everything from logging out, deleting ThreadsanInstagramapp and also sending problem reports multiple times all of which were left unanswered. ThreadsanInstagramapp was so great to use until it became completely unusable. Now ThreadsanInstagramapp is just gathering dust on my phone and will probably be deleted soon. I wouldn’t bother getting it unless this issue is resolved. They really fumbled the ball on this one…

Threads can you bring a hand more safety feature for free users on Threads? there are more content on Threads. that are inappropriate. then i’ve been reporting to Threads and they’ve been taking it down 100% please bring a safety feature that can give more tools to prevent this on Threads in advance your system, More and your algorithm system to make it more better so your system will detect this before you even post it to take it down from the web from your Threads app 100% and build a more stronger algorithm system they’ll take the content down before upload or the second upload to Verify at the content is right to be in the system and Verify to make sure the continent is safe before it gets uploaded on the platform need to bring a more better system to verify Contant before it gets uploaded or if it gets uploaded and verifies in your system 100% so you can’t just post anything at verifies in the system 100% when it’s uploading to make sure it’s not inappropriate on Threads please bring this feature 100% for Threads and please bring sensitive content controls so it protects you if they’re sensitive content on Threads 100% to keep value users, safe on the platform 100% and bring more powerful trolls that Threads users can turn on free users to protect your account from inappropriate content 100%

Hello, I am DPM DJ. I’d like to write a somewhat serious review on ThreadsanInstagramapp, so buckle in. First thing I notice when I go into ThreadsanInstagramapp is, “Hey. This looks a lot like Twitter. But…better?” Yes, it turns out that I have been enjoying ThreadsanInstagramapp more than Twitter and even Instagram to a certain extent due to the less toxic environment. Honestly, well done with that. This is the first time I’ve felt reasonably comfortable using a social media app. Second thing I notice…the absolute mess in my feed. Yes, I know that ThreadsanInstagramapp is fairly new, but my feed is looking kind of atrocious. Every time I refreshed my feed, hoping to see stuff from people I followed (which was probably around, if not over, 100 people) but was instead met with a crap ton of random people who had absolutely no affiliation with me or any of the people that I followed. That was kind of weird, but I decided not to mind that. Lastly, I decided to embrace ThreadsanInstagramapp ’s less toxic environment, going around threads and seeing actual positive people and comments on each one. Long story short, ThreadsanInstagramapp is kind of like Twitter’s second chance or something, but made by a completely different social media company. Respect.

Zuck, my boy…if we’re gonna rake in the legal trouble by “mimicking” or grabbing “inspiration” from the bird next door *wink wink* let’s go ahead and stick to what works. Please, I beg you, fix the video playback on ThreadsanInstagramapp. Let’s grant users the option to disable auto-play, let’s add a scrolling tool so we don’t have to sit through the whole video or (God forbid) have our fingers slip and start the video all the way from the beginning, and let’s fix that pesky/stubborn audio enable button.

Also, let’s update the U.I. a little bit. It’s giving: bland. Let’s add some pizzazz! I enjoy seeing what threads my friends reply to, but I also wanna see what they like.

Lastly, the search tab…have your team take some notes on what Bluey’s doing to make things interactive (i.e. “For you”, “Trending”, “News”, etc.) and move forward from there. Thanks buddy.

I really wanted ThreadsanInstagramapp to beat twitter, so much so that I would be able to delete and let twitter go easily. Unfortunately, I can’t. Threads lacks the search engine that twitter has. I can look up anything and twitter will find the latest or most important tweets about it, media about it, people with related names… it’s great. Twitter even gets to know me, showing me the latest news, sport scores, or musical posts by artists and athletes or others that I may be interested in, and that’s just when I hit the search icon. Most importantly, the people I follow on Twitter ( for the most part… Maybe around 80%) show up in my feed. I have no idea what’s going on with Threads. I barely know 80% of the people that show up in my threads and wish I didn’t have to see their posts. I can’t search for ANYTHING on threads but other users… I’m surprised that this isn’t an option on Threads as it’s something I have long been able to do on Facebook. Hopefully they’ll fix this soon. Until then, I’m on Twitter…. Or X…

Lots of people and conversations there now. Journalists there too. This review is about the iOS app. 1. The latest versions do not let me click on thumbnail links, and many people only post those. 2. If I manage to find a clickable link, it opens in a window that leaves a large chunk of my screen at the top unused. 3. The new edit function is great, but selecting and navigating text in the compose/edit window is hard. I also can't select an individual word or phrase in a post to copy it. I don't know why they can't be bothered to adapt ThreadsanInstagramapp to the iOS environment. 4. Without tags or lists, it's impossible to do more than randomly chat. 5. Their promised adaptation of the ActivityPub protocol seems to be low on their list of priorities. This is the most important thing for me. 6. Still no iPad version. Given the Instagram background, maybe that will never happen because those developers still haven't figured out that a lot of us prefer the iPad for photos, especially if our vision is imperfect. 7. Privacy nightmare, so no EU users.

If you haven’t signed up for ThreadsanInstagramapp, don’t. You can’t delete your account without deleting your IG account. Even on IG accounts you didn’t create a Threads account for, you will have a forced integration with ThreadsanInstagramapp and it will shove political crap down your throat. Those are the only threads being promoted and I don’t interact with content like that on my IG. My IG is for friends, family, art, and puppies—I have no desire to add political rage bait to that blend. Now I seem to have no choice and no way to mute this, which makes me want to abandon Instagram entirely.

I never liked Twitter, which is why I lasted only a few days on Twitter before abandoning my account years ago. That app just seemed like a cesspool of toxicity and I had no desire to be a part of it. I didn’t realize threads was a cheap Twitter knock off. I checked out ThreadsanInstagramapp out of curiosity and I regretted it immediately. If this continues, I may abandon Instagram entirely. It’s what I did with Facebook a few years ago and I have not regretted that choice one bit.

I have two accounts connected to threads, one where I have political discussions and one where I just post photography. Threads has, in a matter of days, restricted my political account from being able to post literally anything. They are obviously censoring those who have a political opinion they disagree with. It was one thing to just shadow ban my original posts, and at least I could reply to other threads… but now I cannot post at all? This is wrong and you know it. I never posted any hateful content or lies, only truth and educated opinions supported by links and videos to show proof. It’s so bad that it won’t even let me submit a report to report the problem! This is not “protecting” your community, it’s censoring it. And I know it’s censorship, not just a glitch, because my photography account is completely normal. No shadow ban, no censorship, and able to post like normal. This is wrong and you know it. I will be talking to lawyers about this. I have screenshots and screen recordings of everything.

Threads is still in its “new” phase, so it may not have every feature you want, yet. What it does have is millions of new users making new connections, and interacting for the most part in a refreshingly civil manner. There’s plenty of lively debate on every topic under the sun; most Threads communities preach proactively blocking trolls. It’s the threaders themselves that are making Threads a fun and friendly place.

New features are added nearly every week, yet the platform is granite stable. I’m skipping specifics so this review isn’t out of date in a couple of weeks. Eventually ads are expected (no free platform can last without revenue), but in 2023 Threads is building its user base and there are none. I’ll miss the ad-free experience when it ends.

Whether you come over from X, jump in from Instagram, or even dip your toe into social media for the first time, you’ll find Threads is a fun and engaging place to follow the famous and interact with the rest of us.

I finally caved and downloaded Threads and I actually like it a lot more than Twitter. Granted much of that is credited to the fact that the feed is fresh and not filled with promotional or suggested posts like on Twitter along with a tainted algorithm. Aside from that, I enjoy the playful details of the interface and how clean it is! While it might not last, I still like that right now it’s less populated than Twitter. The organization feels right, down to your own profile and even the settings. And the recording feature for posts is new and fun! As for my critiques, I wish it had a saving system like bookmarks on Twitter but with a way to organize them. I also think it would benefit to have a separate DM inbox from Instagram. Overall though, I’m really enjoying this platform so far and I hope they will add a few more quality of life features while still keeping it simple!

Listen, I am not a big advocate for social media to begin with. What once was a convenient way to connect with friends has boiled down to a very toxic and potent problem. I feel this disease crosses all platforms; along with that I also should mention that on a political scale I fall mostly in the middle. Maybe slightly more conservative but certainly am not a big supporter of trump or Biden for that matter. All this considering- Threads seems like a open slap back at Twitter for its embracement of open and often controversial speech… I had ThreadsanInstagramapp for a few weeks and honest to God loathed every second, ThreadsanInstagramapp worked fine functionally but the content was terrible and exhausting. It was an echo chamber of random people’s frustration and misinformed opinions, most being very far left wing. I get there are algorithms in what a person is shown but on all other related platforms (instagram, facebook) I do not follow any left wing news outlet. None. But every time- and I mean. EVERY TIME. I see suggestions on instagram for threads or am just on threads. It is the first and almost always the only thing I see is far left wing influencers basking in negativity and ignorant rants.

It just seems a bit “bias” is all I am saying. It seems like there was a different goal in the creation of this platform and “creating a friendly space” is not it. If you value your time, emotional energy and honest discussion. ThreadsanInstagramapp is unfortunately not for you.

When I had threads at first. I was seeing so many things people were getting away with. Nasty talk, showing way to much of themselves and I genuinely thought things out. On Instagram, I can get flagged for the simplist infraction. And that’s leaving a positive comment that just may have the word, “gay” in it. Talking about it in a positive way. But no matter the context, comments are rejected because of “guidelines”. Switch over to threads and it’s a free for all. I was thinking of dropping all together my Instagram. I’ve never used such a hypocritical site in my life. To leave a comment on a post that someone is showing way to much skin, or even swearing like crazy in the post. But get my comment taken down because of guidelines. Then take down that persons post. As it’s content itself goes against guidelines. Hold the same standard for all or don’t use that at all. There is so much filth on instagram. A LOT! Threads to me is a step up on the nasty scale. I was hit on, sent nasty things. That’s the reason I uninstalled it. They’re all running free in there doing and saying whatever they want. No! Both platforms need cleaned up, both of them do. There’s no way you can tell me that you all don’t know about these accounts unless we report them. If you stop me from making a comment on them, then you have to stop them from posting their nasty posts based on said guidelines.

Love the connections I have made so far, but currently not loving Meta’s policy. I am currently banned from posting on threads and Instagram as well as commenting. Meta/threads has given me no reason as to why. My account states it is in good standing and adheres to community standards. I have been told I might have replied too often or to to many people in a given time. I have been a threads user since day 1, and have never received a ban, and my use has been consistent. So I must ask, what is the point of a social media if I can’t reply to my friends on the content I post? Why are there no listed metrics by which we can adhere to? Having no guidance as to post/like/comment limits makes no sense if there is such a steep penalty (I have a 7 day ban). Im banned for a week for using ThreadsanInstagramapp as it was designed, and no response from threads or meta. I also notice that many of the reports I have made against anti-trans hate speech are unresolved for over a month. So those anti-trans accounts and comments are able to keep posting, while an active user who navigates within the bounds of the community standards is not allowed? This is odd and confusing and very Twitter like.

I bought this I Phone on a fluke I really didn’t want it but my Love talked me into it said that it would work great, on it was ThreadsanInstagramapp called Threads I had never heard of it before so I clicked on it and began checking it out, something you might need to know about me im 58 years young you see and my Love is 26 years old we live together he didn’t know about Threads either when I asked him. lol I thought I was just old and outdated!! But as I’m reading through these wonderful bits and pieces of small posts people have put together I’m intrigued and excited and amazed by how articulate folks can be, the honesty and kindness and love and much more that I can’t even put into words you just have to see for oneself it’s fantastic and hard to put down. Good Job to whomever the creator of Threads is I LOVE IT AND ILL KEEP READING IT! Thanks it brought me out of my dark place, many happy returns Tammy BACA from the land of enchantment

ThreadsanInstagramapp is so toxic and mentally draining to be on even for just a few minutes. It’s a knock-off of Twitter and since I dork have much experience with Twitter, I can’t say whether ThreadsanInstagramapp is worse or not, but I can’t say it’s very bad. I think the main problem with ThreadsanInstagramapp is that the algorithm promotes political posts and other posts about controversial subjects. It doesn’t seem to cater that portion of the algorithm to the user’s opinions based on what they like, dislike, and the kind of accounts they block. A lot of these posts reach the wrong audience, leading to hate and toxicity. In my opinion, a lot of the more controversial posts I saw the second I first opened ThreadsanInstagramapp were very stupid, misinformed, or extremist, and this goes for content promoting both sides of the political spectrum. Another big problem ThreadsanInstagramapp has is with bots. More specifically, there are an absurd amount of s*x bots and catfish. These types of accounts are usually linked to scams, yet ThreadsanInstagramapp literally promotes them as I saw countless amounts when I first started using ThreadsanInstagramapp . All in all, this is Twitter but with Facebook’s audience and YouTube’s bot problem.

i am genuinely considering finding other platforms than Instagram to use… because Meta forces posts from Threads to be suggested on my Instagram timeline and it’s ALWAYS some awful, offensive, or negative garbage that i would never want to willingly read! i cannot understand forcing negative content onto their main platform as a way to convince people to use Threads… i signed up for Threads when it came out and didn’t use it much but after seeing over 20+ awful negative takes on my personal Instagram account? i will 100% NEVER use Threads. and i might stop using Instagram too. because i shouldn’t have to make an effort to not read the suggested posts just to avoid seeing the cynical garbage that people share on that platform. maybe drama and pointless negativity entertain other people? huge turn off for me. and there’s literally no way to turn it off on my Instagram but hey! the awful suggested Threads posts are what made me sign up for Pinterest. and now i love Pinterest more than Instagram :) so that’s a good thing at least

Uhhhh yeah, I just Thread! Ermmmm jealous much! I bet you are. Don’t be surprised when my name is in lights. I would go as far as to say I’m the only person on threads tbh. Don’t worry thread like 50 times a day, so your feed will never be empty. I make the days of millions of people everyday. Let’s say if there were more people on ThreadsanInstagramapp , it would automatically make ThreadsanInstagramapp significantly worse. I use ThreadsanInstagramapp as an escape from my middle school bullies (I’m a teacher). Don’t worry I don’t THREAD about my bull all the time, that would get boring quickly, only 49 out of my 50 threads are about my bullies. TikTok doesn’t compare to threads because you can’t thread on TikTok. If you could, I might have to switch apps… NOT LOL, ermmmm that sounded better in my head. Just kidding I’m not a freaking mcu actor person, that’s below my status. Dost thou even threadth like I do, mmmm me thinks nope!
