In today’s age of social media, new platforms are constantly emerging to keep us connected and engaged.
Meta, the parent company of Instagram, recently introduced Threads, an innovative text-based conversation app that has the potential to rival Twitter.
While Threads offers an exciting way to connect with others through a text-based platform, many people wonder how they can use Threads.
How To Create an Account on Threads
To get started with Threads, you need to follow a few simple steps to create an account:
Step 1: Downloading the Threads App
The first step is to download the Threads app from either the App Store (for iPhone users) or the Google Play Store (for Android users). Simply search for “Threads” and install the app on your device.
Step 2: Signing in with Instagram
Once the app is installed, open Threads and tap on the “Sign in with Instagram” option at the bottom of the screen. If you’re already logged into the Instagram app on your device, you will be redirected to your Instagram account within Threads.
If you’re not logged in, you can choose the option to log in with your Instagram credentials or switch to a different Instagram account.
Step 3: Setting up Your Threads Profile
After signing in with your Instagram account, you can personalize your Threads profile. You can upload a profile picture, write a bio, add links, and explore and follow other profiles. It’s worth noting that any changes you make to your Threads profile will not affect your corresponding information on Instagram.
Step 4: Creating Your Threads Profile
Once you have customized your Threads profile, tap “Continue” and choose whether you want to have a public or private profile. Carefully review the terms and policies, and when you’re satisfied, tap “Create profile” to complete the account creation process.
Important Things To Note About Threads App
- While Threads offers a unique text-based conversation experience, it is currently only available to Instagram users. This means that if you want to access Threads, you will need to sign up for an Instagram account first.
- Threads uses your existing Instagram credentials, including usernames, followers, and verification status, to provide a seamless experience within the app.
- It’s important to note that your Threads profile is separate from your Instagram profile. Changes made to your Threads profile, such as your profile picture, bio, or links, will not affect the corresponding information on Instagram.
- Similarly, profiles you follow or those following you on Threads will not impact your followers or those you follow on Instagram.
- If you have an Instagram account and it is verified, your Threads profile will display your verified status through a verification badge. However, keep in mind that you can only change your profile picture on Instagram if your account is verified. To make changes to your username or personal information, you will need to edit your Instagram profile directly.
