How To Sign Up To Threads, Link Your Instagram Account

Meta’s Threads is a new social network (a new aim to take on Twitter) that was launched on July 6.

VerseNews Nigeria reports that according to the company, Threads is a new social media platform for sharing text updates and engaging in public conversations. Essentially, this is another Twitter since it describes everything that Twitter does.

Differences between Threads and Twitter

• Threads doesn’t have a website. Instead, to access the service, you have to install the dedicated app available through the Google Play Store for Android devices and Apple AppStore for iPhone devices.
• The Thread app was designed by the Instagram team, which means that your Threads account is linked to your Instagram account.

Follow the steps below to download and install Threads:

• Open Google Play Store (or Apple AppStore).
• Search for “Threads, an Instagram app” and choose the app from the result.
• Click the Install button from Google Play Store (or Apple AppStore) to get the app.

• Click the Open button.
• Sign in with your Instagram account.

Tip: You can use the “Switch account” option to sign in with another account.

Tip: You can use the Import from Instagram button to bring the information from your Instagram account.

• Click the Continue button.
• Choose the privacy option, including “Public profile” to allow anyone to interface with you, like on Twitter, or “Private profile” to interact only with people that follow you.
• Click the Continue button.
• Choose some of the suggestions accounts to follow.
• Click the forward button in the top-right corner.
• Click the Join Threads button.

Once you complete the steps, you can start tweeting (I mean threading) text messages and join other conversations.

The only caveat with this service is that Meta will delete your Instagram account if you try to delete your Threads account. As such, make sure you want to use the new service before joining.
