Let's take a look at Threads quickly and give you the run down so you can quickly start using it.

Threads is a new social media app from Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The app is similar to Twitter, with a feed of largely text-based posts, but it also allows users to post photos and videos. Threads posts have a 500-character limit, and users can reply to, repost, and quote other users' posts. The app also blends Instagram's existing aesthetic and navigation system and offers the ability to share posts from Threads directly to Instagram Stories.

Thread accounts can be listed as public or private. Verified Instagram accounts are automatically verified on Threads.

"The vision for Threads is to create a friendly public space for conversation," said Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a Threads post following the launch. "We hope to take what Instagram does best and create a new experience around text, ideas, and discussing what's on your mind."

Some users did experience occasional glitches and issues getting content to load in the early hours after Threads launched, but this is to be expected when millions of users are joining and using an app at once.
