Sign-in can be as simple as pressing a button 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,” says the app description. “Threads is where communities come together to discuss everything from the topics you care about today to what’ll be trending tomorrow. Just like Twitter Mastodon, and Bluesky, Threads lets users share text, photos, and videos with their followers. Meta has been working on Threads for some time now, and it became known after some reports in May about the “Barcelona” project. Read on as we detail how to download and use Threads.
