Opening the app reveals buttons to like, repost, reply to or quote a “thread”, and counters showing the number of likes and replies that a post has received. Threads felt like a fever dream in which Twitter and Instagram had a more usable brain child Threads offers an eerily Twitter-like microblogging experience.

For now, you can follow me at How it works I was left wondering if I should make a separate Threads account based on my personal Instagram page, but that’s a question for another time. Threads can only be accessed by integrating an existing Instagram username to sign up – meaning if you don’t have an account, you have to get one to enter the new Threads platform. The app asked me to connect my Instagram account to sign up, and I switched over from my personal to my professional page – sorry, readers, I will not be revealing my finsta here. I started by searching “Threads” in the app store, scrolled through some small apps unfortunately also named Threads (RIP to those, inevitably), and clicked on Threads by Meta.

The debut revealed an easy-to-use, intuitive user experience that easily integrates with Instagram.
