What is threads Meta? Is threads similar to Twitter? – Meta Platforms, Inc., formerly named Facebook, Inc., and TheFacebook, Inc., has launched the much talked about Threads, a new text-based app to rival Twitter.

Threads is a bold attempt to lure users away from its floundering competitor, Twitter with a near-clone of the platform.

This bold move comes days after Twitter owner Elon Musk rolled out a new policy limiting the number of tweets one could view per day.

Is threads similar to Twitter?

Threads, which is very similar to Twitter has sharing options that appear to include a heart symbol used to ‘favourite’ posts, a reply function, a reshare button similar to the retweet function, and the ability to forward posts to private messages.

Threads encourages people to ‘connect over conversation,’ and ‘share your point of view’ in text-based short posts.

Users of the new app will be able to log in with their Instagram credentials and, as with the photo-sharing site, may follow and interact with friends and influencers who share similar interests.

Threads postings can be shared as a link on other platforms as well as on a user’s Instagram story.

With the new app, users can manage who mentions them and who may reply to them; answers to threads containing specified terms can be filtered out; and other users can be unfollowed, blocked, restricted, and reported.
