Threads App Reviews

Class consciousness. Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Workplace (Meta). When Mark doesn't get his way and can't come up with the technology to rival more successful platforms, he spends hundreds of millions on super PACs to manipulate politicians who aren't as familiar with tech into believing whatever ridiculous notion he's concocted. In 2020, when his former intern created a more advanced, creative, and appealing platform, he tried to buy it, and his offer was declined. Instead of being a big boy and striving for a solution to make his platforms competitive, Mark tricked most of the House of Representatives members into thinking that our beloved TikTok was a threat to national security. The irony is that Mark himself has been caught selling user data multiple times, which is what he claimed the superior application was doing. This man is vile, devious, and downright pathetic; Mark thought he fooled the general public as well. Thankfully, we aren't as ignorant and blind as he'd hoped; he felt the masses would return to his platforms. We are waking up to the mass manipulation of the mega-wealthy, the politicians, and their combined efforts to pull the wool over our eyes. There was a blockbuster hit about Mark stealing ideas and technology from his roommates in college. The time is up on this man stealing, conspiring, and cheating his way to the top.

Only negatives…. The app offers nothing unique and because it’s tethered to Instagram and Facebook, suddenly those are inundated with strangers asking to become “friends”. The worst of it is that there’s literally no exit; NO means of withdrawing one’s name and any information attached to it. I’m wondering if that also applies now to IG and FB, since Zuckerberg, in my opinion, is desperate to claim as many followers as possible in an effort to attract more advertisers. 🔅fyi, literally can’t sign out without leaving at least a one star rating, so that’s what you’ll see. I want OUT!!! …. I appreciate finally having my hacked account with photos returned after two years, but still wish to be freed from Threads, while remaining connected to Facebook and Instagram. I left kindergarten behind a long time ago. Susan Grant

Powerful platform but not overwhelming. App is easy to use and has a slick design. While most social sites, including Meta’s other subs, have continued to crowd platforms with bells and whistles that are “good to have” but “not needed” - threads has kept things functional while also adding certain beta features in background that seem to be promising (fediverse). Enabling user to not be restricted is right move imo. The character limit per thread window seems to not sit well with others but I understand that’s likely limited due to vertical screen real estate available. 3.5-4 stars bc despite loving the platform it’s still it’s not competitive to my knowledge on a payout structure. This should be available to every user. I don’t even have the option to monetize and my follower base is close to 50,000 users across meta companies. Threads would be one of my top three platforms currently if they : 1) make profit share structure competitive; and 2) make path to becoming eligible understandable (in layman’s terms and not buried in layers of docs - we’re not attorneys) Overall good experience thus far besides being banned and Threads removing my ability to like or comment for a few days. I was sent a notification that my account had been compromised when it had not been. A few other things but running out of time. Okay until next time.

Mina BACHIL Blanchard. Threads is not a safe App, a very large number of scammers are using this platform, I used it for a very short period and I wish I never did. Lots of losers want to become Millionaires on the expense of women who worked so hard for their money, they think they’re so cute and that gives them the right to manipulate these older, lonely women which make them very vulnerable to these toy boys and believe in their lies and then when they lose their retirement money, hundreds of thousands they even sell their beautiful properties that’s when these losers disappear from the picture because they are done with the poor woman they left her high and dry. There are all kind of scammers who pretend to be Elon Reeve Musk and they talk to you about investing money in Tesla and these guys are so good at what they’re doing that they don’t leave you alone until they convince you and you end up hypnotized after you wake up your account is over $4,000 less than before you talked to the person sometimes of you have the means you’ll lose more than that because of being greedy. Finally, I am not going to tell you if you should join this platform or not that’s up to you, but all I can tell you always stay alert if it sounds too good to you then there’s something that doesn’t add up there ask questions or the best thing to do is block the person and move on. Good luck.

Hidden Words Not Staying Hidden. so far, i am enjoying this app. obviously there are some features missing that i want, but it is good so far for it’s first update. my one complaint about the current features though…the words i have hidden are still showing up on my timeline. this must be a bug, but it is a frustrating one, because there are certain posts i absolutely do not want to see and yet i’m still seeing them. i hope this can be fixed soon!! otherwise, the algorithm seems much better to twitter, although it still needs some work. i’m looking for a following tab that hopefully i can make my default timeline, so i’m not seeing so many random accounts. i would also like a feature where you can switch between accounts easily, like on instagram, and i want their to be a close friends equivalent!

“Follow the leader, gone wrong!”. It would be nice if they figured out the # thing .. and when I post it’s like I’m talking to myself .. just seems pointless. Coming from IG’s “follow the leader” culture, with the whole assigning a number based on when a person made an account, the whole thing feels forced, and not being able to delete it without deleting IG is wild. Feels like being held against your will. Plus they know people would delete it. There are a ton of bots, specifically porn or sexual promo bots. They leave most of the comments I see once I scroll past the real people. I feel like it will be better later but they might have jumped the gun with this. With all those “great” minds working for the company .. you’d think they’d try to create something new instead of just making an off brand twitter.

Sorry. No thanks.. It was cool at first but the Twitter people came in so I had to do a lot of muting. Eventually things got better until the gatekeepers started coming in. More division, more toxic stuff. Things got better but now I have to be public in order to interact with others and what happens? Sex bots show up, I report them and I still get them. I go back to private and nothing is happening. We should be paid for reporting these bots since Threads isn’t doing a good job keeping things safe. My followers are not around after asking me to follow them. I get more engagement on Instagram. I was wasting my time uploading photos. I decided to deactivate my accounts. Yet I still get notifications from Threads, wanting me to upload the app. Nah. I’ll delete the whole thing. I just hope I don’t get notifications after I delete it for good. I’ll check later if it improves since it’s still a new app. It’s just not working for me right now.

No Likes tab, no search feature, no bookmarks, no hashtags. The threads app is the app everyone wants to love but they don’t give us any features that we need in order to love it. If you like a post, you have no history of your likes, so you can’t go back to it later. This is a privacy concern because you cannot track the posts that you liked. You can’t go deep in your settings somewhere and find this because it doesn’t exist. Facebook has always hidden features like likes in inscrutable settings that the average user cannot find. This is not a transparent solution. We need a separate likes tab and we need bookmarks for privately marking things. Also missing from the app are hashtags, anf any search whatsoever except for searching for names of accounts. There is no chronological timeline even though I thought that was promised in this version of the app, but it is not there in the update so far. Overall a disappointment of an app, unless you want to follow random influencers, sports accounts and famous people.

Clunky and lame. I recently tried out this app, and let me tell you, it was a total letdown. Right from the start, the user interface was a mess. I mean, seriously, what were they thinking? It was confusing and just plain ugly. It felt like they randomly threw everything together without any thought for user experience. I was left scratching my head, trying to figure out where everything was. But that's not all. The app had serious performance issues. It was as slow as a snail on a Sunday stroll. Every tap felt like an eternity, and don't even get me started on the freezing! I'd be in the middle of doing something, and bam! The app would freeze, leaving me frustrated and annoyed. And here's the real kicker: Threads had this crazy, over-the-top censorship going on. They didn't want anyone to say anything remotely controversial or express any dissenting opinions. Come on! We should be able to have open conversations without being muzzled. It felt like they were trying to control what we could and couldn't say, and that's just plain wrong. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend Threads to anyone. The terrible user interface, performance issues, and heavy-handed censorship make it a complete waste of time. If you're looking for an app that values free speech and actually works well, keep on searching, my friend. Threads is definitely not the one for you.

impossible. so the more apps that are constantly being added just to message is just getting a little far out. at this point most would not want to keep adding more apps for the features that should just simply be added to the ig. personally i cant even watch a fb post cause people post it from ig, and the video wont play unless u go to another app. i just dont open it cause thats just more work for what already needed to worn on fb. the cideo wont play unless u go to ig. but fb amd ig own each other, so why cant the video just play anyway. more apps is just making ur phone grow weary. the same as X. nothing new. im not sure exactly at all what they are implimenti g by copying another app. snapchat is just as bad. when the features are just like imessage. u send pictures and texts just like snap. im confused as to why someone ises another platforom to message others. ive used more than those features and u just cant really have a need about snap, or threads. these are alike in the area of remade, boring, copycat work.

Can’t Use App. From the first time i downloaded the app, I was excited. The excessive facebook and instagram threads sections finally got to me. Unfortunately, upon downloading it won’t let me log in. It goes to connect to my instagram, I approve the device, then it just pops into a loading screen then back to the login page. It won’t tell me why, i’ve tried redownloading the app several times and turning off my instagram dual verification. Still won’t let me login past that stupid select account page. No reason why, no option to contact support or get any help anywhere on the app if you can’t even log in. The most frustrating part is the ads on instagram and facebook though. They will give me half a story and I can never finish them because you have to go to the app to view the finish. It’s just so annoying being captivated by something, then never getting to enjoy it because of technical errors.

Mark. Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Workplace (Meta). When Mark doesn’t get his way and can’t come up with the technology to rival more successful platforms, he spends hundreds of millions on super PACs to manipulate politicians who aren’t as familiar with tech into believing whatever ridiculous notion he’s concocted.

There was a blockbuster hit about Mark stealing ideas and technology from his roommates in college. The time is up on this man stealing, conspiring, and cheating his way to the top.

Getting Better Every Day!. I downloaded the app a few minutes after its public launch and have used it daily since then. I like the interface and the regular updates that add more functionality to the app. I think this could be the most viable alternative to the X app and I can already see that it is becoming and exciting progressive space. It is also heartening to know that the app is not at the mercy of the whims of a single owner but that there is a team behind it. It’s also good to know that the team is responsive to user suggestions and actually incorporates those suggestions in further development. Overall, I am hopeful that Threads will keep growing and become a vibrant space for a diverse community of users. Thank you so much, Meta, for creating this app!!

Peaceful and elegant. A real sense of community without spam, nudity, and general content you do not wish to see. There may be a sacrifice of my anonymous data being sold to corps, but I am getting exactly what I want so I don’t care. Peace and tranquility and a sense of community is what I was attempting to find on other apps, and this is the first one. It’s a conversation! It’s not an argument. It’s not spoon feeding me videos all day as I scroll past over and over again. This is a new way for me to interact with people of my interests without being bombarded with outside influences. Nevertheless, there is still a great mixture of conversations you can randomly begin to be a part of that may not be of interest. This is the gen z app where inclusion is of the highest priority, and community is cherished.

Bound to get worse. Threads never was and never will be an alternative to Twitter. Like many, I joined threads as part of the X-odus from Elon’s coup of Twitter. Not that Dorsey made it worth much in the first place. Anyhow, Threads was where many of my favorite people and orgs were moving and I moved with them. It became increasingly evident that Threads is an attempt to further capture and maintain Meta’s audience to profit from advertising. Ruled by the same shady algorithms that ruined Instagram and many a social network, Threads has now become yet another online view factory where consumers have little to no say in what happens with their data or what they see. It’s boring to see the same things over and over and over again. But social media giants want us to live in fantasy world echo chambers where we never encounter other worldviews. With Zuckerberg cozying up to far right politicians, it only solidifies that he is, like his troll-under-a-bridge-narcissist-brother-from-a-South-African-colonizer-mother, a grifter interested not in public discourse, but in power. Please, do not think that any social media, even the ones that say they have values, care anything about their users, much less society. Do not download threads if you are looking for an alternative venue for your text based thoughts. Instead, keep a journal or something and save yourself the time. You deserve better than Threads.

My opinion about Threads app. I like the app but what really drives me crazy about it is first of all you just don’t know if someone is sending a message to you or someone else because I see a bunch of people answering the same post !!! Unless they send you a private message . And another thing is that the app keeps sending you the reminders of the same posts over and over again , several times a day !!! This is very annoying , frustrating and not necessary at all !!! One notification would be enough , maybe a second reminder but not 5 reminders every single day !!! If I want to open the post I will do it when I want to do it and I don’t need to be reminded every couple of hours of every single day !!! I just can’t stand it anymore and I am actually considering deleting this app because it’s so aggravating !!!

New idea. So basically since you are all owned by the same company I wondered since instagram robbed phhhoto’s boomerang feature and implemented it on instagram why not do kinda the same but with like the music feature that phhhoto had. The concept was basically you could add a song to your profile and whenever someone looked up your profile it would have the song you chose playing in the background meanwhile they looked at your profile and pictures. I figured it could work since instagram has a lot of licenses from known artists so I don’t know it might work and a lot of people would appreciate that including me. Anyways threads by far is a great social networking app and I’m glad I got to use it more than Twitter.

Try to avoid. Despite being named threads this app really does just have the worst comment threading/stacking function, making it impossible to follows people’s replies or conversations. It also just seems to be filled with all the people from twitter who post the most click-baity nonsense designed to generate engagement (“what’s your worst airplane story?” “I’m not visiting places where they say they don’t want tourists anymore, what do you think?”. The truly hateful people from twitter/X seem to be gone at least, but what remains are the most annoying people who either (deliberately?) misunderstand everything, comment to just say the person starting the thread are stupid/wrong, or just tell the most boring dad anecdotes about their day but act like it’s some deep philosophical insight. I occasionally cave and download threads so I can read an interesting looking post advertised through instagram but by the time the app downloads instagram will refresh and I can’t see the ad for the post to click on it again anyway. I’ll then briefly scroll on threads, get annoyed by the banal/inane nonsense, leave and uninstall again.

Don’t bother.. I only got this app because of the fact that I wanted to turn off the notifications I was getting from threads. Crazy how an app you have never downloaded will send you notifications but that’s beside the point. I got this app, turned off the notifications from threads and then went on with my day only to find out it’s still sending me “posts we think you’ll like” notifications almost 3 times a day, so I went in and turned off EVERY SINGLE NOTIFICATION I could possibly get from this app and now “posts we think you’ll like” are the ONLY notifications I get. Looked it up hoping that maybe I was doing something wrong but no, every single person who has this app has this problem where they cannot get rid of the push notifications. Also the issue is clearly not new because the thread I was looking at was from September of 2024. So it’s been months of the same complaint over and over again and literally nothing has been done about it. Don’t bother getting this app, it’s a knock off twitter but worse, incredibly boring and annoying. Save your time and storage

Room for improvement. It’s a great resource, but it needs work to be competitive and provide as much value to users as X/Twitter. It needs some significant functionality upgrades in terms of the sources a person chooses to follow. I get disjointed timeline exposure the way they’ve chosen to load the most recent posts at the top instead of fostering a pick-up-where-you-left-off format. I’m always going backward to catch up to what’s current. I think if they can fix that feature, this app will be more attractive to news sources and other contributors to grow the platform. I’m sure this is only temporary, but I appreciate the lack of ads. I would like to see a feature once those become part of the app to pay a small subscription fee and have an add free version.

Is good but can be better. Got fed up with Twitter and decided to use Threads. I already have an account on insta so the sign-up process was smooth which is appreciated. If you’re familiar with how Twitter functions, Threads is similar and will be easy to pick up. Some stuff I’ve noticed that I hope will be added soon: “search engine” is nonexistent, hashtags don’t work (cuz there’s no “search engine” I’m gonna assume), and if you wanna plan out future posts you can’t. Idk if it’s due to this being an early version of the app and it not being completely finished + not wanting to be super similar to Instagram + wanting to differentiate itself from Instagram since all those features are available on that app but it would be nice to include them in Threads. Pls add these functions to Threads! Thanks in advance

App Crashes when posting. I managed to make a few posts, comments, and shares before it started to crash. I can view feeds and profiles and I can like posts but when I go to comment or create a post it crashes- app closes out. I have logged out and logged back in ( which worked once) and I have deleted and reinstalled the app several times. There isn't anything wrong with my internet connection, I have plenty of space, no additional apps running in the background and both my iPhone and the app itself are at their current updated version. I have tagged them in issues on Instagram stories, I have messaged directly and then managed to send a ticket through the app all with no response. I understand if this was a user-wide issue due to the app being new but it is not. I would have better to say because I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the beginning but can no longer enjoy because I can no longer engage. A fix is needed.

Please read this review :). Twitter is better, and this app is horrible. Threads deserves 1 star because it’s boring and not the same as Twitter. Also I don’t think we really needed a twitter clone. Tbh I think we have enough social media as it is LOL. Also why leave or delete twitter when you literally have the biggest following on twitter. Also, for all the people that are trying to leave Twitter because you're too soft to deal with people, grow up LOL. Every social media app has bots and annoying people. It’s literally the internet; if you don’t like it, get off. Threads literally has the same thing as Twitter that’s why threads are implementing rate limits on the app now. Also, If you are leaving Twitter because of Elon Musk, well... I would rather trust Musk than the person who can’t keep data safe and also has privacy issues on their app. At least Musk hasn’t been to court for mishandling millions of people's data. A lot of people forget about what Zuckerberg has done with our data.

Content is slow to load (sometimes 10-15 seconds) and the feed is uninteresting. The poor performance of the service was the worst part of it overall. Takes way too long for anything to load including just text which is crazy to me given Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and really any other service is generally quick even with content that is media rich. The other problem is the feed is boring. I see plenty of things that are utterly uninteresting to me despite the likely importing of my interests and data from instagram. I would have expected that that would having me seeing things that were at least semi relevant to me but that is not the case. The thing I like about twitter is the ability to curate what I want to see but the approach here seems to be that the user is not in control of what they see or don’t see. All that said if this all was improved I could see myself liking Threads but for now it’s not that great

Found ceillys on threads.. “I had been feeling stuck in my music taste and was looking for something fresh when I joined the Threads app. I started following a few music influencers and kept an eye on what they were sharing. One day, someone posted a track from Ceillyss, describing her as ‘a hidden gem’ and ‘the voice of the next wave of indie pop.’ I was immediately intrigued, clicked the link, and found myself completely captivated by her music. Her style blends electronic beats with emotional depth, and I instantly felt connected to her sound. Without the Threads app’s real-time posts and recommendations, I might never have come across her music, which ended up changing the way I view contemporary music and even inspired my own creative journey. It’s crazy how one post can make such an impact!”

Pretty good so far. Like many people have said, I’ve been wanting something to replace twitter for a while and so far this is doing a good job at being that platform. I don’t like, however, that my feed is flooded with meme accounts already, and I don’t see what my friends are posting. I’m sure my friends are not posting much, with it being such a new app, but the millions of memes in my homepage ensures I will never see them. It would be nice to have the home feed dedicated to just who you’re following, even if there’s nothing new for a while, and have the search page be for meme accounts and such. Or maybe a “posts you may like” page or something. If I wanted to see a bunch of garbage on my feed I would go to Facebook. I guess I’m just hoping for something more personal and focused on people I actually know.

Twitter Transfer to Threads. Please find a way to transfer all of the text from Twitter into threads so that we can drop Twitter as a social media platform and use it for something else more important than entertainment. To Meta, you’re well aware that entertainment can be educational and vice versa. Help me entertain and create the world. I’ve already set a example of what each of us is capable of doing. Watch and research me meticulously, Mark Zuckerberg. I’m just like you but younger. I’d love to talk with you on a podcast this week. Please make it happen. It’s for the sake of humanity. I’m doing the hard work and moving fast so we can end world suffering and usher in the Prophesied Messianic Age of Heaven on Earth through One Global Peace found through personal Inner Peace.

WORK IN PROGRESS but good. this is literally the better twitter. the community is less toxic and the app as a whole is just better. there’s way less ads which is also a plus. HOWEVER one of the main problems is in your main feed, there tends to be a bunch of random threads from people you don’t even follow or associate with who you follow. i do understand that this is a new app though and the algorithm is a work in progress which is understandable. one thing i think would make the app a little cooler, and even better than twitter, is if you had app theming, kinda like how you can theme the direct messages on instagram, but instead have it on threads, and have it be the whole app. (it would be really cool to open up a pink threads app 🤭) overall i think the app is really cool, good job 👍

Looks Decent Works Horribly. This was released way before it’s time. They should have figured out the basics. No hashtags, no search for anything other than usernames, poor interoperability between Meta platforms of any, immediately put limits but never posted or published expectations, good active threaders being put in timeout or banned due to being excited and active, no way to communicate with AI to explain your case of not being a script. Head of Instagram acknowledged that unintentional restrictions would be put on active users with good intentions with no way of getting ahold of the company. You see so much crap, and you have no control of your feed. When you unfollow people you will see the egregious content anyway. Profile is weak, text characters is too limited, no way to know if those you follow and following you. No edit button, slow & unresponsive, the list goes on…

Beta Energy in App Form. Oh, Threads. Or should I say, "Mark’s latest desperate attempt to stay relevant"? This app feels like a glorified group text but somehow worse. It’s like Mark Zuckerberg woke up one day, saw Twitter (or X, or whatever Elon’s calling it now), and said, “What if I copied that but made it less fun?” Bold move, Mark. Bold, and by bold, I mean sad. And now we’ve got Dana White and President-Elect Donald Trump looming over this mess like two alphas letting the beta know who’s boss. Zuckerberg’s over here like, “Hey guys, let’s have thoughtful, kind conversations,” while Dana and Trump are planning smackdowns and political rallies. Threads? More like Leash, because Mark clearly isn’t holding it anymore. The app itself? It’s boring. No one knows what to do with it. It’s like being at a party where everyone’s awkwardly standing around, waiting for something interesting to happen—but spoiler: it never does. No trending topics, no spicy drama, no personality. Just vibes. And not the good kind. And can we talk about the launch hype? “Threads is the future!” they said. Well, if the future is a glorified Mark Zuckerberg fan club with a side of corporate overlord energy, then count me out. One star for Threads and a slow clap for Zuck. Maybe next time, he’ll figure out that originality beats trying to out-alpha the actual alphas. But probably not. 🙄

buggy and lacking important features. I was scrolling on my feed liking posts when I suddenly got banned for "spam" despite never even posting, only liking posts. I tried to contest the ban but then the app completely froze for multiple minutes. I restarted the app and now it just says there's been an error. I even deleted and redownloaded the app and it still has the same message that I cant escape. there's literally nothing I can do. I'm just glad I made the account with a new instagram and not my personal account because if my actual instagram got banned for no reason I would be even more mad. On top of this, the app itself is like they combined all the worst parts of twitter and instagram, and left out anything good. The feed is clogged with posts accounts from accounts you don't follow, there's no post notification tab, no translate button, you can't select text, you can't search for specific posts, interface is cluttered, I could go on.

Government Induced Stupidity. One of the main benefits and blessing of the US Constitutional system is that the “inefficient” checks and balances created and inherent in the system minimizes the the abuse of power and arbitrary arbitrary decisions inherent in authoritarian governments. That system of checks and balances insures that our government is required to operate with integrity and democratically for all citizens. It is why so many, if not ALL of the Trump appointed executives who think they are “running” our government have a commonality of person abuses of power and loyalty (obsequiousness) to Trump no matter how harmful or stupid the statement or action of or by Trump might be. We revolted from the authoritarianism of King George in 1776 and England followed our example by limiting the power of their subsequent Kings. The stupidity of a slight majority of our voters seems to have forgotten what our country’s founders learned and sacrificed to actually “Make Our Country Great.” The irony of the computer expertise of many of the wealthiest supporters of Trump makes me suspicious that the actual 2024 vote tallies in many states might have been manipulated to corruptly insure Trump’s election. As the chief Certified Idiot said about the 2000 Presidential election “it was corrupt and stolen” but the Truth may be that the year was wrong and the Stolen Election may have actually been in 2024.

Great App, but….. I really liked the app. Plenty of freedom of speech there, but there’s some negative aspects as well. The negative stuff first. Not much really. The first day I saw about 10-15 threads that all read exactly the same down to the last character from different posters. All the pics from the posters seemed to be young attractive women, and they all read, “I’ve been sober 15 years today” and some other stuff. All exactly the same. That raised a ton of red flags. About the only other thing would be the insane amount of political post. I cannot stand politics, so rather than arguing or getting angry, I just left the app. Way too many post to just ignore, and it’s from proponents on both sides. The biggest positive is the freedom of speech on there. Far better than Twitter, or X, or whatever it goes by now. It’s a great app, but not for me, personally.

Overhyped unfinished app. App that was definitely just dropped because people were fussing about twitter again and don’t get me wrong because I’d love to see new competition so twitter will step up and stop making dumb decisions, but as of now, why would I have any reason to use threads? Profiles are boring and messy, no customization besides changing your icon and putting a link, no pinned posts or some sort of media tab, no way to browse people you ACTUALLY follow, and what was the point of flexing no ads if the following feed is brand after brand after brand anyways? There’s also no dms. Uninstalled after muting over a hundreds accounts, random celebrities and tiktok stars and brands I’ve never even heard of just keep appearing. Not worth your time, just keep using instagram because really, what’s the point of this app with how empty it is? Maybe in the future they will add dms and options to pin posts or have a media tab, but I legitimately can’t believe people were hyping up what’s half of a finished app

Boo. Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Workplace (Meta). When Mark doesn't get his way and can't come up with the technology to rival more successful platforms, he spends hundreds of millions on super PACs to manipulate politicians who aren't as familiar with tech into believing whatever ridiculous notion he's concocted. In 2020, when his former intern created a more advanced, creative, and appealing platform, he tried to buy it, and his offer was declined. Instead of being a big boy and striving for a solution to make his platforms competitive, Mark tricked most of the House of Representatives members into thinking that our beloved TikTok was a threat to national security. The irony is that Mark himself has been caught selling user data multiple times, which is what he claimed the superior application was doing. This man is vile, devious, and downright pathetic; Mark thought he fooled the general public as well. Thankfully, we aren't as ignorant and blind as he'd hoped; he felt the masses would return to his platforms. We are waking up to the mass manipulation of the mega-wealthy, the politicians, and their combined efforts to pull the wool over our eyes. There was a blockbuster hit about Mark stealing ideas and technology from his roommates in college. The time is up on this man stealing, conspiring, and cheating his way to the top. - another person who’s review I strongly agreed with & wanted to comment again.

Better Than Twitter. Threads, an app renowned for its unique features, has gained significant popularity and emerged as a preferred choice among users. Offering a range of advantages, Threads stands out as a superior platform. One notable aspect is its emphasis on fostering intimate and focused conversations, allowing users to create private groups and establish genuine connections. Moreover, Threads excels in content curation, providing personalized recommendations based on individual interests and preferences, resulting in a more tailored and enriching user experience. The app's intuitive design and seamless interface further contribute to a smooth and enjoyable browsing experience, setting Threads apart as an innovative social media platform. With its distinct features and user-friendly approach, Threads is redefining the landscape of microblogging and gaining recognition as a prominent contender in the realm of social media.

From indifference to love <3. If I could analogize with the use of pop culture how threads has grown on me it would be like how Serena from Love Island said she was a slow burner and took a while for her to fall for Kordell, haha. Threads had a rough start with me. I had no reason to use it in terms of my enjoyment and even feeling the need to be on another social. But after all these months, it’s now holding its own to me, I enjoy the conversations I have there and I actually feel safer opening up myself, so that’s cool. I like to use my words and have thought provoking conversation that isn’t toxic and I absolutely feel like there are less trolls there so the substance feels more authentic. Looking forward to growing my presence there.

Threads: The Sound of One App Flopping. Threads was supposed to be Meta’s big Twitter killer—the shiny new social media playground where we’d all have meaningful conversations. Instead, it feels like a ghost town where brands talk to themselves and everyone’s just wondering why they bothered to sign up. At first, Threads promised us freedom from Elon’s chaos, a place where “real” conversations could thrive. But what we got was Instagram’s awkward sibling trying to be cool by borrowing features from Twitter… and then forgetting half of them. No trending topics, no hashtags, no chronological timeline—it’s like trying to have a party with no music or snacks. The vibe on Threads? Confusing at best. Some people are trying to be funny, others are trauma-dumping, and brands are posting cringe-worthy “relatable” content that makes you want to throw your phone into the nearest body of water. And let’s not ignore the Meta surveillance factor. Signing up feels less like joining a social platform and more like handing Zuckerberg a free pass to know everything about you. Want to delete your Threads account? Too bad, it’s tied to your Instagram. You’re stuck in the Meta Matrix now. In the end, Threads feels like it’s trying to be something it’s not. It’s neither a worthy Twitter alternative nor a useful app on its own. So, unless you enjoy yelling into the void or reading posts from brands pretending to be your bestie, it might be time to leave Threads hanging.

Takes a bit to figure out. It took me AGES to find the following feed (the option is shown when you tap the logo on the home page). I would prefer that be default, or at least show the different feed options all the time instead of making users root around in “help” for the answers. I assumed tapping the logo would just refresh the feed like it does everywhere else. It’s not the most intuitive approach. That said, the app is a little better now that I can actually see my friends’ posts. There are still problems, though. I toggled off the political content option, but a LOT of politics from people I’m not following still show up in my “for you” feed. I can’t find a way to disable reposts from showing up in my following feed, even when I search the help page, which defeats the point of me being in the “following” tab—I want to see the posts of people I’m actually following, move reposts to the “for you” or something. To top it off, the let’s say “quality of users” is just as reactionary and inflammatory as those on the OTHER app, so making the switch seems largely irrelevant unless you’re concerned about the other place disappearing. But I give it an extra star because there is at least an option to get out of the general population nonsense.

Shadowbanned on day one. I followed a bunch of people right away, as that’s what you do when you get a new social media account. I also made a post similar to what’s been going around “dear algorithm, send me likeminded people.” Now I can’t follow anyone, it won’t let me report the problem. It said a post was removed due to community guidelines violation, but I’ve read them and have no idea how my post could have violated anything. It won’t tell me WHICH post (if it was a repost? I have no idea). And now the entire point of threads — interacting with and following likeminded people — is pointless because I can’t engage. If this is how things are handled, with no communication or explanation just shadowbanning, when you HAVENT violated any guidelines and can’t find out how it may have been perceived that you did: I find this app to be pretty pointless.

Threads is ruining Instagram. use Pinterest instead. i am genuinely considering finding other platforms than Instagram to use… because Meta forces posts from Threads to be suggested on my Instagram timeline and it’s ALWAYS some awful, offensive, or negative garbage that i would never want to willingly read! i cannot understand forcing negative content onto their main platform as a way to convince people to use Threads… i signed up for Threads when it came out and didn’t use it much but after seeing over 20+ awful negative takes on my personal Instagram account? i will 100% NEVER use Threads. and i might stop using Instagram too. because i shouldn’t have to make an effort to not read the suggested posts just to avoid seeing the cynical garbage that people share on that platform. maybe drama and pointless negativity entertain other people? huge turn off for me. and there’s literally no way to turn it off on my Instagram but hey! the awful suggested Threads posts are what made me sign up for Pinterest. and now i love Pinterest more than Instagram :) so that’s a good thing at least

What’s really going on here?. Dear threads, the reason why I’m giving you one star barely is because there’s a lot of folks wasting time on here sending the same thirsty message to hundreds of people, male and female asking to be “your best friend they want to be your trainer, but everybody is semi nude, soft porn thirsty, seeming foreign all black what is that something is wrong because these men are ridiculous and some of the pictures I’m sure are stolen because I just don’t understand what this phenomenon is. I’m sure you guys are paying attention to the postings on here so take a look at these multiple spam people who keep sending 100 folks the same message I want to be your best friend I sent you a message and you can’t check the messages. You can’t read anything they say because it’s gone to like I don’t. I don’t know why you can’t but it’s not. it’s not one message you receive their several and go to different people so something is wrong or something is happening here. I gotta check it outZuckerberg

Terrible app. Can’t delete profile and is forever linked with IG. If you haven’t signed up for this app, don’t. You can’t delete your account without deleting your IG account. Even on IG accounts you didn’t create a Threads account for, you will have a forced integration with the app and it will shove political crap down your throat. Those are the only threads being promoted and I don’t interact with content like that on my IG. My IG is for friends, family, art, and puppies—I have no desire to add political rage bait to that blend. Now I seem to have no choice and no way to mute this, which makes me want to abandon Instagram entirely. I never liked Twitter, which is why I lasted only a few days on Twitter before abandoning my account years ago. That app just seemed like a cesspool of toxicity and I had no desire to be a part of it. I didn’t realize threads was a cheap Twitter knock off. I checked out the app out of curiosity and I regretted it immediately. If this continues, I may abandon Instagram entirely. It’s what I did with Facebook a few years ago and I have not regretted that choice one bit.

Do away with twitter. Twitter is just way too ratchet. To gain followers can be difficult Threads have the option to transfer followers. Twitter seemed to program its users with an overload of overly sexualizing things , overly romanticizing thing or just too much politics. With threads you get instagram but from the mind of creative people. So it will keep your mind in a better headspace. I keep bring up twitter but it is obviously a competitor but it’s a very distracting application. To find some of the creators that are more critical thinkers you have to actually find those people. There is also pornography on twitter I just don’t understand where the line is drawn with professionalism. Like it’s not good for anyone that wants to start a business what so ever.

Terrible app encourages a terrible world.. I downloaded this app for entertainment. All I see is hate, pettiness, greed, and bitterness. This app encourages the world, most specifically Americans to go against eachother. The amount of hate I see on here between races is disgusting and heartbreaking. The amount of hate I see on here about sexuality is disgusting and heartbreaking. This app allows Americans to constantly tear eachother down, and not build eachother up. This is what the creators of this app want, we’re supposed to be such a “strong civilization” yet no one can get along. It shows how stupid the average American is and I blame social media as whole. The level of ignorance people on this app point fingers at eachother for having have it themselves. Everyone here is hateful and ignorant and they are to prideful to see past it. The app has no true filtering they let people say the rudest things they can think of and post the rudest things they can think of. People on here take freedom of speech to a whole new level. If you see this please seek Christ and love one another.

Purposefully restricting with no cause. I have two accounts connected to threads, one where I have political discussions and one where I just post photography. Threads has, in a matter of days, restricted my political account from being able to post literally anything. They are obviously censoring those who have a political opinion they disagree with. It was one thing to just shadow ban my original posts, and at least I could reply to other threads… but now I cannot post at all? This is wrong and you know it. I never posted any hateful content or lies, only truth and educated opinions supported by links and videos to show proof. It’s so bad that it won’t even let me submit a report to report the problem! This is not “protecting” your community, it’s censoring it. And I know it’s censorship, not just a glitch, because my photography account is completely normal. No shadow ban, no censorship, and able to post like normal. This is wrong and you know it. I will be talking to lawyers about this. I have screenshots and screen recordings of everything.

SEEMS PROMISING BUT…. Zuck, my boy…if we’re gonna rake in the legal trouble by “mimicking” or grabbing “inspiration” from the bird next door *wink wink* let’s go ahead and stick to what works. Please, I beg you, fix the video playback on this app. Let’s grant users the option to disable auto-play, let’s add a scrolling tool so we don’t have to sit through the whole video or (God forbid) have our fingers slip and start the video all the way from the beginning, and let’s fix that pesky/stubborn audio enable button. Also, let’s update the U.I. a little bit. It’s giving: bland. Let’s add some pizzazz! I enjoy seeing what threads my friends reply to, but I also wanna see what they like. Lastly, the search tab…have your team take some notes on what Bluey’s doing to make things interactive (i.e. “For you”, “Trending”, “News”, etc.) and move forward from there. Thanks buddy.

Many Bugs. When I click a thread I can’t see any replies. Instead I get a message saying “Sorry, something went wrong. Try again.” Same thing when I click on someone’s profile. I go to their page but don’t see any of their threads or replies. It says “Content not available”. When I try to reply to a thread it shows up as a reply but it says “your thread failed to upload”. If I click the heart at the bottom I go to the Activity page. On that page no matter what I select from the menu: All, Follows, Replies, etc… each says “Sorry,something went wrong. Try again”. My wireless connection is strong. I’ve tried both with and without a VPN. I’ve deleted and re-downloaded the app a few times. Nothing helps. Always the same result with the same bugs.

Overall decent, but… why so much data tracking?. Briefly speaking, this app is decent overall, just needs some more updates like editing and better thread navigation stuff to be a more viable competitor to Twitter/be “Meta/Facebook/Instagram” Twitter. Now for the data tracking rant. To be fair, everything ends up collecting our data in some way or form and share it with everything else on the internet at some point. Though this is Meta which is one of the few social media apps that are notoriously bad for tracking data, they do not even bother trying to hide it for this app. At least with Facebook and Instagram you at least have the option to opt out (more likely give you the comfort feeling, not necessarily completely opting out) of tracking both as a pop up and in the settings (for ads mainly). This app? It tracks basically everything, and doesn’t even prompt you at all.

Honest Review After 2 Days. The app is obviously in its early stages, with missing features like dms and a trending page. Still, I think the app runs very smooth, looks nice, and has great potential. I’ve already seen an increase of activity as the days go by, and I’m excited to see the app grow! To everyone who is leaving 1 star reviews, realize that this app came out less than a week ago. You have no sense of how apps work if you think they would have all functions available at once. Of course it’s not perfect, and you shouldn't expect that from ANY new app. Especially considering a new social media platform is impossibly difficult to start up. But we know it’s more than just another app review for some of you out there.

Threads is user-hostile. Insistence on a terrible algorithm. Limited features by design. Arrogant leadership that wants to redefine basic features like hashtags and search. Toxic brand-led positivity. I tried for months to like Threads, but I don’t see it being a good place. It already feels so user-hostile. Not letting me turn off the For You feed is just hostile. It makes me use the app less (I like real-time posts). And the feed is awful compared to other apps like TikTok or Twitter. It recommends spam all day and engagement-farming posts. Then it’ll throw in a following post from 2 days ago. Plus all this “positivity” which equates to not letting people discuss important issues. Every third post makes fun of Twitter (I hate Elon, but it’s been months, stop talking about the platform) but they don’t promote news. I hope Mastodon and Bluesky dominate but I’m afraid Meta is content with letting Twitter continue to live and eat their lunch.

Stopped working properly in past month or so. Worked well originally. Now I can’t read a single thread as the app won’t open the feed. Updated last week and still not able to view any threads. Not even my own. Even clicking a thread from Facebook or Instagram won’t even show the thread, only a black loading screen.

App not bad but got some bugs.. It ok apart going look at my main profile page it clashes i uninstall and reinstall also restart my iPhone and still go look my profile.

It’s okay. It’s okay only issue is I can’t get back into threads for 90 days because I deleted my threads account by mistake so now I can’t use it anymore unfortunately 90 days is too long to wait that’s 2 months 🤬 not good enough it should be 30 days instead and I reminder email would of been nice saying my threads account is being deleted in 5 days if u want to log in again then please do before the 5 Days is up

I WAS SUSPENDED. Reply back to me ASAP RN BECAUSE my account was suspended for no reason i had it within 2 seconds and I get a notification saying “Your account has been suspended” FOR WHAT? Give me a good reason why it was suspended and what I did wrong I got this app giving more support for them and they suspended me so i’m deleting this app until they give me a good reason why I shouldn’t and why I was suspended. So better up yourself and the way you suspended random accounts for no good reason just be because you have the power or whatever no one cares so do not suspend no one with out a reason.

No issue at all. I have a long term Instagram account and had absolutely zero issues signing up. The look is refreshing and it’s nice not being bombarded with ads and hate messages.

Well polished and smooth launch. Threads to their credit has gotten significantly better in the six months since launch. They acted on feedback by incorporating a following feed and tags. Yes, it has a lot of similarities to Twitter but unlike Twitter they have their head screwed on right and the experience is much better. Looking forward to the next six months developments.

Better than X/twitter. Personally speaking, this app is a lot more engaging and more enjoyable to be on. And the fact that mata has recently allowed free speech for all of its platforms - it’s all the better. You can freely discuss whatever you want while the soothing Ui is easy on the eyes and keeps you wanting more. In general, I highly recommend switching to threads - it’s way better than X (formerly twitter).

Community outreach. Have been sharing here for a short time and appreciate that real people with real needs are being addressed at all levels thank you for this opportunity to share with others

Getting to know you.. I like reading about the lives that are shown here. The pictures and the words give a powerful look at how others cope with life. It’s a privilege to be able to see this. Honest genuine bravery deserves to be shared. I’m glad these contributors posted here.

Bringing people together. I started using Threads during the last U.S. election. There were so many people who were worried and scared about the potential election outcome and seeking solace. Many were Americans asking questions about emigrating to Australia or New Zealand. I hope we Antipodeans were able to hold their hands to an extent. I find Threads a welcoming place, free from vitriol.

Social part great - App progressing. The social aspect of Threads (still!) feels positive at the time of writing. I hope it stays that way. (So far it has) The ability to hide a users comment from everyone on your thread, is brilliant. Request: I would dearly love to see mutuals listed first in the following section of a user, like Instagram has “Followed by …##people you follow##” Honestly, I’m enjoying my social groups on Threads more than BlueSky or Twitface X It remains to be seen what happens now that Meta has done away with fact checking. It was never very good to begin with so we shall see. Pause, play and rewind etc. for videos would be nice. Keep up the good work.

Delayed Notifications. If you turn notifications on for an account you follow, the notification comes through delayed and unpredictably. For example, you get a notification saying an account made a post 2 minute ago, but then you check that post and it has been posted 3 days ago.

A self-promotion engine for shallow trash. Doesn’t matter who you follow, you’ll be shown an endless roll of drivel. The combined thoughts, if you can call them that, of the most vacuous people on earth: instagram influencers. We don’t get a feed combining posts from the people you actually follow. Not even slightly. You get… whatever their algorithm is selling. As bad as Twitter’s algorithm became, it never stopped you from obtaining a feed of those you follow. With Threads, there’s no choice at all. It’s a savage reminder that you’re the product, not the customer. Threads is not worth anybody’s time. Deleted.

It’s ok. It is a lot of fun, it’s like twitter and insta had a baby and created twitgram. The only issue I have is the posts in the app today and there being no restrictions, there has been spam after spam of posts about “follow for a follow” for the last few weeks, everyone’s feeling it because our feeds are just bombarded with people spamming “follow for a follow” When the app first launched, people were posting the most funny stuff and out of pocket memes, what happened?

Loved this new platform. Please give this it’s freedom. Thank you for bringing this new platform, where I can be me. Just make it an independent application from Instagram. A lot of potential is lying behind it. Start a new trending option with threading.

It’s a good start. It’s just twitter. It’s clearly early days and there are features being implemented that it’s competitors have but it’s a good start. It’s reliance on instagram is a bonus and a negative - I can import all of my friends over if I want to and things like blocked users carry over but it also has the same type of users instagram has, which makes Threads a different vibe to its competitors

Living library. Elon! As they say! What can I do for you? We cannot expect that you will do everything for us. Allow us to relief that pressure and acquired responsibility somehow I expect myself to have the LIVING LIBRARY. A place where two people from different backgrounds can learn from each other. Life a gorgeous coffee shop where we get the best coffee or tea and JUST LEARN FROM EACH OTHER WEALTHY IN MONEY WEALTHY IN GOD S WISDOM STRONG WEAK ALL PEOPLE WELCOME THAT IS MY DREAM And leave the library stronger, humble and joyful to confront the world One day you could join us please.

Opportunities to share a thread. I like the diversity of other people and their thoughts and experiences. Threads gives it users a platform to share their life experiences, to share nature beauty through photos. I myself like to share Christian content from the bible.

I don’t get threads. I don’t get how this platform helps It’s just another distracting time wasting machine that keeps you on the app With the fear that if your not on it or part of ‘it’ then your going to loose out on something & this could be a free way to promote oneself, but it is like the term says threads, it’s a bit pick your path adventure, but it’s had this disjointed feel, no one answers you & you follow but they don’t follow & it not an enjoyable productive experience experiment

So far, it’s alright. Joined day 3 of the app and so far it’s enjoyable. I love that it mimics the mode you have your phone in (dark mode/light mode). However it is lacking accessibility in the way of captions. As a deaf person, I rely heavily on captions, so hoping that will be a feature added sooner rather than later, to have have the option of auto-generated captions available on videos like Facebook and Instagram have. I do like that muting and blocking are easy and quick to do, being able to remove any toxicity instantly has been great. Full sized photos and the photo carousel are also great, but it’d be nice if we could zoom in without it bouncing back immediately. I know it’s early days yet but this app shows promise.

Can’t view app unless you link to Instagram. I’ve pretty much given up on Instagram due to all the bots . I hate Twitter as it’s a cesspool and nasty. Thought I’d try this only for the *only* way to have an account is to sign in with Instagram - no. Some of us don’t want all our accounts connected. After all, I wanted my fb and Instagram linked to cross promote but it wouldn’t let me as it says I’m not the owner - yet I’m the sole admin. So sadly I didn’t even get to try this one before deleting it

Support pls help. I was really liking threads until it stopped letting me post out of no where… none of my post are being uploaded with each post or quote receiving “this post failed to upload” notifications. It’s strange because I can still reply to other users. I haven’t been notified of any terms of service breaches and I haven’t posted anything against community guidelines. I just want to be able to post again please, why did this happen??

People’s réponse. - you need to promote people who really enjoys interactions. - please rewards those who have a purpose to write specific topics like myself . I considered myself the love guru but I don’t get enough interactions because you put people into certain places . Let it flow like water to see who will response. - love all the news about celebrities and let us say what we want to argue or replies without penalties. - this platform is my life medicine as I love to catch up with the gossips. - I asked not to have bots for simple reasons , my children and grandchildren are here also - keep up the good work . Oh why is my followers went down ?

App is good but business decisions holding it back. Threads actively stops me from trying to use the app the way I want to: Chronological timeline? Only until you open the app next time. Replies to a self-post are not surfaced on follower timelines. Results in click-bait top-level threads from people seeking engagement. A followed account replies to a second followed account’s post? You’ll never see it, the timeline hides it unless you click through. All of this results in me seeing nothing from people I care about, and a lot of garbage from people I don’t want to engage with. Mosseri has spoken about changing these things but it’s been a year and the resistance to changing it in the first place has reduced my confidence in the product.

Underwhelming, spammy, and tedious. After reluctantly downloading the app and “opening” my account (via transferring my details from IG), I’ve regretted it and of course there is no way to delete my account without deleting my IG account. Only deactivation. Dodgy! What a scam. In addition, I can’t get ride of the influx of rubbish on my feed from so many people I don’t not follow. At least on IG I can stop suggested posts every 30 days. My feed is loaded with trivial, time wasting content. I deleted Twitter years ago, and would rather go back there right now than use Threads. Also, my notifications don’t load. I get a constant error despite having the most up to date app version. Over it is an understatement.

So so enjoyed, fb 🙈🙉🙊👎. We set up , enjoyable with that any real traffic fines or getting blocked out or being told that were not allowed to use music without videos of which our music is supplied by other companies to put videos etc. Etc. Very very good site enjoyable.

Who are all these randoms in my feed??. Apparently there is a way to restructure your feed so that it’s limited to the accounts you follow - please roll that out to everyone ASAP! I don’t see anyone I follow. Also needs to have a way to select “new threads” in the notifications section. I want to see new threads of the people I follow, not their replies to other threads I wasn’t involved in.

Needs a ‘following’ feed. Don’t really see the point of a social media app if you can’t even choose to see the posts of the people you follow. Shockingly some of us aren’t desperate for minute by minute updates from the minds of Kardashians. A desktop app is also sorely needed, and some interface features like following need to be turned into buttons on mobile so they are clearly tappable.

Works well, but not useful. Everything in the app works well and smoothly, account creation is easy and connects well to Instagram, but I feel like it doesn’t really have much of a purpose. Pretty much everything it can do is already possible ion Instagram. Overall I would not advise against it, just don’t feel like you need to get it, you won’t really be missing much

Love each other. Hello review ! I am sending 5 stars to threads . The reason why 5 stars is because I am impressed on they way that God sends out boundaries to me . Might say yes I know that life it self is a rainy day ! Also has resilience to question the unknown . Or not to question the unknown to say that Their is a King and Queen That sends out two equal emotions to each other . That is why we do want to buy those rings to each other for respect of one another . That is the way that God wants not only for my voice but for others voice too to a knowledge the fact about what love is about! Thank- you for threads

Bot central. Threads is generally not a bad app ….except for the dam spam/porn bots which is annoying . It’s a constant issue and if Meta doesn’t take a hold of this it will drive people away and go to a platform which provides better moderation. Meta you ban nudity and the like but you allow porn bots which makes it hypocritical. FIX THIS UP.

Not leaving the guard rails up. Threads needs to work harder at not allowing this app to turn into another extension of X. The community evolved because the negative wasn’t found here but recently trolls,influencers,thirst traps,porn and right wing propagandists have swarmed here and been give a platform. Hitting the block button has become as regular as it was on X before thousands left that app for this safe and friendly space.

Algorithm floods you with misinformation, conspiracy, pseudoscience. Functionally this app is fine, and superior to X. However after some months of use I noticed the app algorithm has some of the most terrible content controls and standards of any social media app. If you actually stop doom scrolling Threads to think for yourself even just for second, you realise you can feel your brain cells rotting as the app promotes baseless conspiracies and shoves propaganda and pseudoscience down your throat. More so than Instagram and Facebook, the content is clearly targeted to deliberately make you emotional, sad, angry, frustrated which increases the chance you will keep scrolling. Social engineering at its finest.

As a brand new app, it’s great. I am really hoping Instagram continues this momentum and truly creates a Twitter killer. I am absolutely loving the platform so far! It’ll get better with time. Don’t listen to the poor reviews. They are judging the app thinking it’s Twitter. It’s not there yet but it will get there

App of NO benefits!! Fake and LACK of meeting people!! 😡😡😤. I’ve downloaded this app since yesterday and while scrolling through the Homepage, there where a lot of people posting photos of themselves and saying how desperately they wanted to have a girlfriend or boyfriend, and the second you tap their profile or post, there’s a bunch of comments saying that He or She is a Fake and they just want followers or attention and no meeting people whatsoever!! And this is really frustrating for me and for the rest of the people using this app!!! It would be nice if the developer can fix this problem and make the app better. 😤😕😔

Privacy Policy is not transparent. Threads accesses more information than Twitter & is far more insidious in tracking the users data from financial data, health & “other data” including transaction history & credit scoring information. All irrelevant for an app that is predominately focused on connecting users differently. Deleting my account and will never use something connected to Meta after they have shown how they manage user data on their other platforms. It’s 2023 guys. Be more ethical.

Trust Issues. This application is so much more appealing to the eye than anything else. I gained my trust back in humanity when I was blinded (in a good way) by the things on my screen because they were holy and righteous and worthy of paying attention to. I look and smile, I used to look and cry. Thank you for giving me a place to keep my mind at peace.

A Shocking Disregard for Privacy. I had high hopes for the Threads app, but those were quickly squashed by its complete disregard for user privacy. It's alarming how much personal data it collects and shares without explicit permission. With vague privacy policies that barely scratch the surface of their actual data handling practices, it's clear that user privacy is an afterthought for Threads. If you value your digital privacy, I'd suggest looking elsewhere. The convenience of the app just isn't worth the privacy trade-off. 1/5 stars.

Some of us don’t like notifications about people we don’t follow. I just got three “picked for you” notifications and went to check my notification settings and low and behold “picked for you” is set to off. Why am I still getting these notifications??? I don’t want them, what’s the point of being able to turn them off if it doesn’t actually do anything

waste. twitter exists. you can dm people. you can comment on an IG post. app plagued by influencer, celeb, nsfw, corporation GARBAGE. my own stupidity to download if without looking at the info it uses. and let me guess, add the search history with your instagram DMs and maybe even listening into the worst moments of your life or grabbing some of your family's stuff (ooh are we foreshadowing the family drama and cheating! so commendable zuck!) - all that to give you the stupidest reel ever. i truly wish literal immortality on some people.

👑🏅. Amazing, looking back 6 months ago, thread had different vibe, the shift is changing dramatically to a wisdom and knowledge level that is affecting the lives of millions positively with love that lifts each other together for growth as a stronger community to connect with one another. I can’t imagine all the love and inspiration I have seen from you all. Every single one had a positive and powerful impact towards me and others. ❤️

Good start, feature to be added. It’s a good start to a new conservational app. I am loving the no-ads and sync between Instagram. As I have two Instagram I frequently use (business and personal), I’d like an account switch feature. Would make life 10x easier!

Really enjoying this. Twitter is ruined. So I tried Tribel and may go back, but my feed was full of US stuff. So am having a go on Threads. This seems much more promising. I am finding my tribe of educators and political tragics, and having fun. Hope to see you here

My previous posts have disappeared. I’m not into threads much but every now and then posted a thing or two but this morning found out that all my previous post has gone…all of them?? My question…is there a time limit on how long your post will be staying on your profile? Thank you.

Please add multiple account access. Please add the same function you have for Facebook and instagram where you can toggle to different accounts. Have multiple accounts. Especially for personal and business accounts so we can keep it all relevant. Excited to see where Threads goes. Thanks

Unable to make posts or comments. So, I downloaded it yesterday, and when I tried to make a post the app just bitter me straight out and onto my phone home page, it does the same when I try to comment I've uninstalled the app a few times and downloaded it, but it does nothing at all

I want to like Threads. Threads is cool, I enjoy that it is more a prompted open chat room rather than just a photo with comments. But the UX is just… confusing. So many nested sections and recursive comment chains leave completely lost as how to navigate the app. Also showing a number next to a chat bubble you would think opened the comments, but nope - that opens up new comment and you can’t see the old one. Wanna see the comments? You need to tap on the negative space on the post! Just bad design.

Read !. Everything’s going smooth and I know this is a very recent app that just came out but I reckon we should have an option that allows us to put back the threads badge back on our Instagram profile. I know it just says temporary and it’s there to advertise but it’ll be nice if you gave us and option to put it back whenever we want.

Account. As a new platform, Threads is going through a very smooth launch, with users able to very easily migrate from their existing accounts with Meta’s Instagram. For those managing multiple accounts, there is not yet a smooth solution to account switching, though admittedly these are the minority. The search functions currently as a way to locate accounts, with Instagram (as well as it’s primary competitor, Twitter) still maintains better explore and trending feeds, as well as the capability to search by text content.

Sleezy. So many “only fans” types on threads. You get bombarded by them!

No iPad app… in 2023.. Like the Instagram app, still no support for iPad. Unacceptable.

Creating this app is a mistake.. People posting very controversial topics there now, and they push this to ig users without threads app. This is damaging users’ mental health. Shut threads down!

Pointless App. What’s the point on having this app when we already have Instagram?

App sucks so far. Not gonna even title it. It’s nice that there are no scammers yet but Sucks that In order to delete it threads you have to delete instagram.

Here first. We’ll see if this app is a flop or not lol

Twitter ripoff, government censor & data collector for the elite. The info they collect is scary and you should be very concerned what they are doing with your data! As we know Meta canjot be trusted and is a part of government spying and pushing misinformation and preventing free thought and free speech! They collect: Health & Fitness, Purchases, Financial Info, Location, Contacts, Contact Info, User Content, Browsing History, Search History, Identifiers, all Usage Data, Diagnostics, Sensitive Info, Other Data. They don’t need this unless they are selling all your data and helping build a social credit score system. Wake up…. Meta is bad news for you and your children’s future!

Just like Instagram👎🏻. Instagram use to be great ……… now like threads is full of garbage I don’t follow Seriously Mark this disappointed me so much. I’m tired of all the “suggestions and sponsored “ crap in my time line, it’s just like Instagram. All I want to see are the time lines of those I follow. NO suggestions and maybe one advertisement OCCASIONALLY ! Threads is full of crap just like Instagram that I didn’t sign up for ……….. as bad as Twitter is, it’s better than Threads

Review. Not as bad as I thought it would be. I didn’t get laid yet, but I got a few pretty pictures to jerk my eyes up.

Waste of a app. This app sucks It’s all wanna be girls wanting attention Oh strippers wanna to add them Garbage sight

Have no rights and can’t delete account. Learn your rights, stop giving apps your freedom and privacy

Forces to make Instagram account first. That’s ridiculous. If you don’t have a Instagram account you can’t create/open a account on this app. They just want your private data and information thru connecting your multiple accounts. Will never create Instagram account to access this app

Not a fan. I want to delete but can’t find the option to do so. The icon is removed from my phone but Threads still appears in my Facebook and Instagram feed. It’s distracting and hasn’t provided information I want to see. I want it gone.

Don’t Download its A TRAP. Worst app ever! Gives you fake notifications so u check it and once u get it u cant delete it or else u need to delete instagram BEWAARE

Garbage. Full of fake links, spam adds and scam links. Garbage.

App keeps hiding my “following” column. Update: “Following” column doesn’t work at all now. No point, unless you’re looking for another venue to scroll mindlessly. Silly app. Previous: I am having to delete and re-add the app every day or two because my “following” column keeps disappearing. I’m not here to see random tictoc videos (enough of that on Instagram). I’m at the point of deleting my account because what’s the point if you can’t read the accounts you WANT to follow?

Cluttered and confusing. Twitter felt clear and simple. Threads has too much going on.

Non ho detto questo e che sono un uomo. Non ho detto questo e che sono un uomo che ha bisogno del suo aiuto per capire se sono un po’ troppo per lei e per me è una questione che mi riguarda da sempre ma è un modo di fare di cui parlare spesso non mi interessa più nulla e mi sento di essere un uomo

This app is pointless. This is basically a Walmart version of Twitter. There’s zero point to having this. Plus I saw another review say it steals all your info like contacts, financial info, fitness and health, etc

Cheap knockoff of Twitter. Cheap knockoff of Twitter, where they openly only advertise liberal leaning “threads” in the Instagram app.

Waste of time. What an absolute waste of time to add another chat platform. I only have Threads for that reason, and if I could delete it without losing my Instagram account, I would. If I wanted to be on a platform full of people spewing their Woke ideology, I’d go to Bluesky. Until then, it’s there because it has to be and I don’t pay attention to it.

Worst app on the market.. This place is where all the worst ideas are left to fester. Where the dredge of the cesspool comes to rear it’s ugly head. Full of pedos, groomers, s** offenders, and sympathizers of the scum. I regret ever downloading it, and someone should look into some of these people. How is this even allowed? Remember, this is coming from a guy who grew up in the “faces of dea**” era. You people are sick.

Bad. Bad

Cheaply made Twitter. What’s the purpose of this app? Feels like this was made out of a hackathon.

So not necessary. We have X/ twitter. We don’t need a pointless clone.

Annoying notifications. Despite deactivating most of my notifications and telling threads “see less like this” EVERY DAY I am getting spammed MULTIPLE TIMES by threads recommending me stuff. STOP HARASSING PEOPLE FOR THEM TO USE YOUR POS APP

Just go watch porn, that’s what this site is. Only fans galore, if you want your kids to be corrupted by sex then 100% get this app. Absolutely craven.

Twitter is better. Bad layout this is going to die

Never download. Wanted to try this out. Now when I delete things off Facebook or Instagram they remain on threads somehow even though I’ve tried to delete the app. the only solution offered by META is to re-download it and then you can delete things showing up on it. What a scam

Thread the needle. @dylan.698 for some crazy thoughts

GIVE THE BADGE BACK PLEASE. The app is fine. But I don’t understand why we can’t have the badge back after hiding it. Please let us unhide it on our profile. This is unfair! Imagine if someone accidentally hid it :(

Cute Concept, No Prayer. A Twitter clone by Facebook that's like Instagram but with text. What's the point? Oh and it collects even more data than spying helecopter parents do. Nah. Instantly deleted.

Cant get rid of this!. Can’t get rid of this, nowhere to remove it??

Controlled content. Controlled content. No free speech

Trash. No one uses threads and now it has taken over the story share button. It’s annoying. Stop

Can’t delete account. I downloaded this app out of curiosity and now want to delete my account because i’m not using this app and it says i have to delete my insta account to delete this account. Now i keep getting emails and notifications on my instagram about threads even though i deleted the app.

Data Theft & Mining. This knockoff accesses ALL YOUR DATA ON AND OFF YOUR DEVICES 😱🤯

Worst app. Worst app ever don't download it

Already censored. Just out of the gate and already censoring basic stuff like what’s going on in France as just one example

Needs more. Threads is a good idea, and a perfect competitor for Twitter (or X) but poorly executed. Lack of a chronological algorithm that defaults to new, and the insistence of acting like a For You page by default is what's dooming this app.

needs more features. things that need to be added asap: - separate “following” page & “for you” page - hashtags, people need to find similar stuff - search bar that also finds people’s posts, not just accounts - trending page - gifs

Can’t search up topics. This looks like it has potential, but I can’t look up topics the same way I could with instagram or twitter. It’s pretty useless in its current state.

cannot register. You have to have an ins account to login this app, and you are not allowed to create a new account, that is stupid

Too much automated censorship. Threads has already twice temp banned me for totally innocuous comments. I am an upstanding social media citizen and I don’t appreciate being told I’m suspected of posting spam and then getting locked out. I’m done with this app. This is not the townhall we are looking for, they are controlling speech to an absolutely radical degree. I gave it a fair shot and it’s a big nope from me. We need a more open non-meta-owned solution to the problem. Scams run rampant, reports are ignored, and meanwhile the system bans good people for speaking up against bad systems/fraudlent advertisers. Total garbage. The IG widget Threads is also obsessed with pushing outrage. I’m trans and it forces so much transphobia into an otherwise positive IG feed with no way to dismiss. Disgusting.

idk how to get it out of my bio. the badge number in my bio looks horrible. everytime i try to remove it by pressing remove it just comes right back when i refresh. fix this pls. i also think it’s silly that you have to delete ur whole instagram account in order to delete ur threads account.

Copy of X. Why Mark zakerburg copy all social media platform just only to use facebook & its app. Every app has unique & holds its value. Facebook copy youtube , copy tik tok , copy snapchat , copy messenger app and so on. Mark Zakerburg just steal the user data and use them.

Words. Most words are blocked. You can’t even disagree respectfully on this platform.

Good app, terrible users. Found all the content to be political and on top of that one sided. That’s not why I’m on the internet I want to see funny videos not read multiple unintelligent people arguing with each other. This app is just for people who “canceled” twitter or x. SMH. Make the internet great again

STOP. Just stop Threads. Never went, never will.

Threads. This is useless!

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Twitter clone without purpose. This app was made simply to compete with Elon Musk’s “X” or Twitter platform, which is great. Competition is necessary for businesses to get better. However it lacks purpose and offers nothing new or even on the same level as Twitter features, while also attempting to find a place in a very established way of communicating on the internet. It brings Twitter back to its basic form which it has long surpassed and expects to compete with a further evolving community. If any major company were to create a Facebook clone to compete for example, without a doubt it would receive large numbers and an influx of initial users but aside from the newly sprung app loyalists, they will always return to the established platform that they and everyone else has always been using.

Interesting discussions. Text-based social networking. Short posts with or without photos. I’ve curated two feeds… one for US politics and one for climate action and nature photography, and am finding both to be good places to stay informed and connect with other people who share the same interests. I’ve had useful conversations with experts (and the only time I’ve had an uncomfortable interchange was with one of those experts so I just pass on by her posts). More fun has been the opportunity to get to know everyday climate activists from other parts of the world and support each other’s efforts. Unless you’ve gathered a pretty large following, commenting on other people’s posts is generally more effective at generating conversation than quote posting or posting a new thread. It’s easy to avoid celebs, trolls, porn, etc by blocking accounts or just not interacting with them. You get more of what you follow, like and reply to.

Missed Opportunity Sadly, Should be a part of the main Instagram app, not seperated. I really really like what they were going for with this app, especially with other social media apps like this making poor decisions, but my one issue is that it has to be a part of Instagram, and not this awkward seperation. Having Threads is amazing and all, but none of my friends use it, probably due to this awkward access ordeal. They see the posts on instagram and think "Oh! this looks cool!" but then being told to download a whole other app really smothers that thought out immediately. Having it as part of how reels is, where its at the bottom tabs of instagram would be PERFECT. And im sure if that happened, everyone would use it.

Close—amazing potential for a hybrid app!. My main problem with the layout of this app is the same as my problem with Twitter—the wayyy to unorganized, you can’t find what you’re looking for. Right now your profile has 2 tabs, a main one and a replies one. I’d love it if there were 3 tabs instead of two: • Chat (text posts) • Gallery (Videos and photos) • Social (Replies, quotes, reposts). — Then you can also add search filters to find posts that fall under one of those three tabs, instead of just searching accounts. This way you can’t neatly organize the blog aspect, the social aspect, and the artistic aspect! In my opinion this would make it MUCH more user friendly. That way when I want to look at my favorite artists work, I don’t have to scroll through hours of ended conversions or reposts. If I’m looking for a topic to talk about, I don’t have to scroll through pictures to do it. It would also mean I could quote and repost other people’s stuff more without worrying about burying my own work/making my page impossible to navigate. Other than that it’s looking pretty good so far!

Not quite ready. It’s a good alternative to the bird app, but it needs far more work: Search: Have it search users or keywords. Right now it’s just users. Instagram integration: apparently “follow all” would follow all those I follow on Instagram when they sign up. That hasn’t always been the case and now I’m having to manually go through those I follow on Instagram and find them in Threads and follow them again. They’re also not automatically following me for the same reason. They have to manually find me. Feed: I don’t mind the curated feed, but allow us to have just those we follow in a separate feed, or allow us to create custom feeds (like Lists on the bird app). Data: what exactly is “sensitive data”?

Stop obsessively promoting this app insta.. I see it too often on Instagram; Having this download screen pop up after misclicking the "reshare to story" button because they so conveniently placed it right in-front of it, having a little panel pop up in my feed of verified threads posters expressing random, ragebait posts so viewers want to download the app to argue with them. It's even flooding my notifications at this point. All with the same stance. "Argue with these people!! Argue with them!!" We don't want it. nobody wants it, and everybody is sick of Meta constantly promoting hate to the very top. Threads is meh, just a shameless recycled Twitter for opinionated celebrities. We don't want it! Fix the thousands of problems on your MAIN app and then MAYBE you can shove this app into people's faces. Your platform is worth billions, it would literally benefit you to make your apps useable.

Great at Launch, but not perfect. Love the app already. The integration with instagram when creating your account is smart. Whole communities are finding each other. However, there are some caveats: 1. I can’t switch accounts easily like I can with Instagram. I operate a small business account and a creator account to boot and I have to hard log out of my personal account to switch. Please add switching functionality please! 2. GIPHY keyboard from iPhone does not work like it would on competitor apps 3. There is no chronological timeline or sort by feature. If there were buttons similar to Reddit or Twitter that lets you scroll between “new, hot, best, etc”, then it would make it fantastic to scroll through

Not working. I so badly want to leave Twitter forever but, aside from the fact that there are some glaring holes that seem likely to be addressed/fixed, this app has stopped working for me. The Activity area won’t load. Just says “Sorry, something went wrong. Try again”. Also, same thing happens when I click the profile button. Can’t see my threads or replies. Says the same thing here. Lastly, I cannot see replies on threads other than the ones that appear in the main feed. When I click on a thread, it says the same thing yet again (“Sorry, something went wrong. Try again”) where I would be able to see replies, etc. Lastly, I get the same error message when I try to post a thread. So frustrating!!! I’ve tried logging out/in again, deleting the app, restarting my iPhone, and nothing works. Please help?

Meta needs better enforcement. This app is better about enforcing rules, although it’s still meta and doesn’t do it well. There’s still very much hatred, racism, sexism, and stochastic terrorism being promoted pretty well unchecked as the report option is still limited to meta enforcement. The app itself is more enjoyable than Facebook and instagram but Zuckerberg has allotted all of his resources here and it’s still mediocre at best in terms of keeping the bad off of the app. This is probably the best social media app today, and it’s still owned and operated by meta so take that for what it is. Certain topics will be surpressed like the Gaza situation and it often times seems like it’s surpressed in the wrong direction and allows hatred to flourish unhampered.

Wayyyy better than twitter. Not sure if the warm fuzzy new platform feeling will last forever (or once meta finds a way to monetize with ads), but right now Threads is super fun and has been making me enjoy social media for the first time in a while. I appreciate threads’ moderate approach to moderation - add disclaimers to fake news / fake news posters while also not outright censoring people. Elon musk lovers are mad, but they really should just be worried since this will definitely kill twitter. The UI is slick and the features work so far. My one request would be to add a “close friends” posts features so that not all my insta friends following me on threads see EVERYTHING.

Joke. When I first got it, I was satisfied. Didn’t have everything I expected. But it was new. So I figured it take some times for the bugs to be worked out. Instead, just the opposite happened. After about six weeks, I was unable to click on any articles unless they had a blue link And then, about a week ago I couldn’t read any more than 10 replies to a post. Any post beyond that were constantly loading. I don’t understand why more people are complaining about this. I have two different iPhones and both had trouble with it. The only way I can access all features is I use the desktop version

Great first version!. Ok so, i have been using threads for about 2 hours. I have found some good, but also some bad. I love how easy it is to use the app, I love the simplicity, and how easy it was to sign in, just directly using your Instagram account. However, if you’re like me, and you want to use a separate account for Threads, then you won’t love the first implementation of the app. You are stuck using your name and profile picture that you used for Instagram and the app seems to crash quite often and I would also love some features like DMs and a couple other things. I am super excited to use this app and see how it compares to Twitter!

So lame, only politics and celebrities get any engagement. Really had high hopes for this app, and for a few weeks people seemed so happy to be on it. Social Media campaigns from big companies were fresh, clever, and didn’t sound corporate. People liked each others’ personal posts. But it just didn’t keep it up…really, it never created any real social interaction. Celebrities and political posts get all the views, Just. Like. Twitter. Our small company gets a lot of real engagement on Twitter (yes a fraction of total engagement) and on Instagram, but nothing on Threads despite a successful Instagram migration. ie the same audience-on IG they engage, on Threads they don’t. Some stopped. It’s a waste of time unless you want to follow the Kardashians and the moronic Trump Biden hate fest.

terrible twitter ripoff. i downloaded threads to see what the hype was about. after scrolling through the feed for a few minutes, i decided i didn’t like it. the format of the app wasn’t very aesthetically pleasing. so, i tried to deactivate my account since i didn’t want it anymore. i clicked deactivate, several times, and it never would deactivate. so, i just decided to delete the app and forget about it. except… all of my notifications started coming through my instagram app?? AND my threads number was still in my profile. i clicked “hide” multiple times, but every single time i refresh my profile, it pops up again. the number on my profile is actually ugly and killing the aesthetics of my profile. it’s so big and in your face. no one cares what your thread number is. please let me delete my account.

Needs some quality of life updates.. While the app seems like a good start, it seems to be missing a lot of important features. The most obvious and important is the search function. It lacks any ability to search tags, key words, or really anything but usernames. This means I can’t doom scroll, and it means I don’t spend as much time on the app. The search lack of a search function really limits movement around the platform. Other than that it lacks other basic functions such as chats, seeing your liked, and saving posts. I’m sure there are more flaws or even new innovative ways to make this seem less like a Twitter 2.0. I will continue to use this app because duh, but I’m hoping it gets a little fixed up

Needs lots of added stuff to be perfect. The app is decent a lot of the time so far but for it to be great i think it should distance itself a little bit from instagram, still have the option to link it with insta but not rely on it entirely. I really think there needs to be more user experience to it like asap, dm’s seeing your own likes, allowing people to follow without needing to accept a request when you have a public profile, SAVING POSTS‼️‼️etc I really want all these things to be added/fixed like yesterday haha- oh also make it easier for people who follow a lot of people at once to not be assumed as a spam bot please :) cant log into my account anymore bc of that

Expect to be suspended if they don’t like your posts. I made a parody account on Thread and within a couple hours it was suspended even though it clearly (in bio and user name) was not the person it was parody of. Their “appeals” process only allowed for me to confirm a password and phone number. You cannot actually appeal, or fix whatever they determined was a violation in the first place. One I submitted my “appeal” (only phone number and password) within seconds they somehow were able to determine the ban was worthy of being permanent. Another gem of an app from the Zuckerberg farm. Further they’ll appeal all your accounts associated w your phone number (across meta/Facebook, Instagram, etc too) even if those did not violate any rules. Do not trust them with your data and use at your own risk!

Data Stealing, Battery Draining, Surveillance App. At first glance this app seems like an amazing mobile application. I’ve always enjoyed Instagram and I’ve always enjoyed Twitter. However, once you install this app, you will realize that you can never delete your threads account. Unless you delete your Instagram account also. For some reason, Zuckerberg and the Instagram meta-team think it’s a good idea to grab all of your health data, political, affiliations, religious beliefs, and even your credit score. Now on top of that, if you install this app due to all of the data mining that it is stealing behind the scenes, this app will drain your battery faster than any app that I’ve ever seen. So a reminder, this app is like hotel, California you can thread in anytime you like, but you can never leave.

WHERE ARE THE DMS???. I don’t understand why the basic functionality of sharing things with your friends within the app isn’t a main priority for Threads. The connection to Instagram seems really short sighted in the long run as I feel Threads and Instagram cater to completely different audiences which hinders Threads from having its own individual identity. I get excited for every update hoping that they add this simple feature but they never do it. Threads is exactly like Twitter but with less features. It’s hard to justify spending any time at all on the app when you know you are investing in a lesser experience. I would give it a higher rating but it’s been months and the updates have been very lackluster. To say I am disappointed is an understatement. People deserve better.

Twitter X. Agree, whatever happened to socialism, did we make it better or worse? The bottom line, abusers still exist, we call it propaganda for or against us, regarding real issues for those in danger, we must fight the good fight, brands to standards, face the quality situation of perfectionism in a safe app, either way, let it run it’s course, all there doing is engaging or what is behind the influencers existence in my life, how do they control what we post? How does it affect the blogger? Real questions people should ask themselves when posting in monitored environments where all or nothing is due to the Lord? Awareness of this please.

Major Defects, and Refresh Issues. I just sent in another attempt at reporting the replies issue directly via Threads - it started happening almost a month ago. Consistently I am unable to scroll/see past the 15th reply on my iPhone 12 Pro, whether it’s on my own threads or the threads of other users. Also, when using dictation, all text erases if you press the mic to stop dictation. I have also reported this via the Threads app. All of these issues have not been addressed and yet Threads continues to add more features. I understand that the web version does not contain the same issues so hopefully you have an environment set up for preproduction that can reproduce these things using an iPhone so that they may be fixed before any additional new features are added. The other reason my review is one star is because there is no support for Threads. Only IG - and even that is minimal. If you have any app issue, you get no reply - in fact this app can ban a user, and not even sure what you did - this is happening to many users, and this is an auto ban it’s not a human that’s doing it so that again it is the app. As much as I love the Threads community, the app has MANY bugs that needs to be fixed. Thank you.

Random unwanted notifications. Notifications for Meta apps are so irritating. I thought I had every notification type turned off but I still get random notifications for accounts I follow on Threads but do not especially care about. It seems like I always have one of these random notifications ... I guess to trick me into opening Threads? In Instagram Settings, if I click on Notifications, it informs me that those settings are in Accounts Center now. But there is no section for Notifications to be found in Accounts Center. None of this is mentioned anywhere in the Help Center article for Notification Settings, of course. Great. Consider spending less time adding AI junk no one cares about to your apps and spend more time fixing the core user experience.

COMPLETELY BROKEN. i was one of the first to sign up & i loved this app. it was a much needed change of pace, until they decided to ruin it. out of no where random people started getting banned for seemingly no reason, mass outages of the ability to like posts, the ability to reply, & all over features are routine. they never used to be routine, it used to work perfectly all the time but over the last few months these issues only gotten worse. its happening daily for me & at least weekly for most other users. i'm disheartened, im disappointed, & honestly i quit, im looking for a new platform. they clearly don't care about their users & have no intentions to improve. i'm even considering shutting down my instagram & just stepping away from meta all together, its a completely unreliable company as a whole

Algorithms and Censorship. Threads has been set to sensor reach and removing posts as well as comments on posts if they are Pro Palestinian, if you make a post mentioning Israel it has no restrictions! The whole community has noticed. If we can’t discuss current affairs that must be included in community restrictions. I was suspended for 1 week! I had no recourse to appeal, the tell us button doesn’t work. Hopefully these issues are worked out or full disclosure on public topics can be clarified if only one side is being restrained. I also know people who have been restricted from getting more followers, do not show up in search’s for their handle, shadow banned from posts for mentioning Gaza too much.

The most. The most Deleted app in the world this app is a dating site or is it like a photo forum mixed in with stupid emotions nobody cares about because it seems too complicated I mean seriously everything is so hard getting used to that this app seems like they were trying to hard to kick a Facebook dating on Instagram and they flood our facebooks and instagrams with notifications about people who follow your threads; even when you delete the app. it’s so annoying it’s like Facebook/insta is trying to hard to keep people on this app in all honesty it is like a cheating lover who keeps in touch because she wants to be friends with your sister and she that won’t let go. that’s what it is making me feel like if someone directed me on how to use this app I would be more satisfied and the look of it’s format isn’t that great either.

The best place to shop for vintage!. Gem app is the easiest way to find that one of a kind vintage piece you have been dreaming about. If you’ve been on the hunt for something specific then you know it can take hours to filter through items on various resale sites. Not with Gem! There is no need to jump from site to site as Gem streamlines the search for you bringing all the best vintage and secondhand to one place. Super helpful to sellers too and they will even promote your shop on social media. I love using this app both as a re-seller and vintage collector! Highly recommend!

Update🙏🏻. You should let us change the color of the icons and the letters and signs on the app, like our profile area, home, search, like, post, everywhere. One thing should be the Icon and the other should be the app, and also make different colors for everything so it can be more fun. And interesting. Also when is light mode make the options of colors different then dark mode, because if it is very bright strong yellow or any other color it will make you want to change it all the time, witch you don’t want to change it all the time

promising concept, terrible execution. i was excited to install this app as a user of mastodon, instagram, and just about every social media site under the sun these days. excitement turned into frustration really quickly. good on meta for using activitypub so you can follow anyone across the web and the fediverse. i was excited since i could see what my friends i know irl post since they mainly only use instagram and this entire site is based around instagram. it let me follow everyone i knew on instagram quickly, cool! it even told me about the fediverse integration coming up. then, the real fun began. the home feed was filled with absolutely nobody i follow (even after importing my follows and followers from instagram) and shows a lot of content that really shouldn’t be allowed on here. there’s basically no hashtag support, and the app is buggy. constant crashing, forced autoplay, algorithmic feed with basically no one you follow or any interests of yours. the fediverse integration isn’t even available at launch. it’s all verified accounts on the homepage and no real connections with genuine users. never before have i used an app this buggy and unfinished besides maybe fallout 76 and that’s saying something.

Promising alternatives. This app, like many others is seeking to fill the void left behind by original Twitter while it doesn’t quite hit the mark, it’s definitely a suitable alternative. Although there is far more censorship on this platform than any other app like it , it still stands on its own pretty well. While there are definitely alternatives that are better and get updated more regularly Threads has more than enough content to get you through a small scrolling session. It must be said though it does feel like a lot of news on threads arrives late or not at all in comparison to “X” so if you’re more interested in keeping up with current events right as they happen this really isn’t much of an alternative unfortunately .

“Follow the leader, gone wrong!”. It would be nice if they figured out the # thing .. and when I post it’s like I’m talking to myself .. just seems pointless. Coming from IG’s “follow the leader” culture, with the whole assigning a number based on when a person made an account, the whole thing feels forced, and not being able to delete it without deleting IG is wild. Feels like being held against your will. Plus they know people would delete it. There are a ton of bots, specifically porn or sexual promo bots. They leave most of the comments I see once I scroll past the real people. I feel like it will be better later but they might have jumped the gun with this. With all those “great” minds working for the company .. you’d think they’d try to create something new instead of just making an off brand twitter.

The app that replaced twitter. You will read comments describing how this threads app is a less toxic space than twitter, and how people feel safe. I will leave it up to you to guess the individuals why speak this was. If you speak to there narrative everything will be fine or if you remain silent, but much like instagram, at any perceived minor offense by some sensitive alphabet, you will be reported and banned. You can try to fight by appealing to the help desk but much like instagram comments, you won’t receive a change. If you want to be limited in engagement as everyone panders to the same system then this app is amazing and you should get it. If not, use X, you may not like what everyone says but everyone deserves the right to say it.

Threads, the new Twitter. Holy Hannah, I love to fight with men on the internet. It makes me happy. My President is Taylor Swift but she’s too young to run. But trump he’ll get shot at more if he uses her name. Not a threat, just a promise. I wear a Purple Heart because Prince was my king of pop. What did Michael do? Dangled babies and changed colors. I back the blue and I walk a straight and narrow path. Thank threads for existing so I can fight with people on the internet. “Everyone has a story, you just have to be brave enough to tell it” - from yours truly. Me and Hilary Clinton should not have been our first female President… Kamala can, but my friend Lillie should pop off! Crush it babies, yours truly. Xo, gossip girl.

I love Threads!. I’m really enjoying Threads, which has become a stimulating space for fact-based information and intelligent perspectives about the issues of the day. Many of the good journalists and thought leaders I trust are now posting on Threads, without all the trolls and misinformation that now infest X (the shipwreck once known as Twitter). Because Facebook and Instagram now purposely demote posts about news events, politics, climate change and social issues, there is a need for another forum for informed conversations and I think Threads fills that need very well. I’ve tried Bluesky, Mastodon and other Twitter-like services and find Threads to be the best alternative so far.

A Twitter knockoff that is missing features. I like to use new apps simply for technical curiosity. Since this is meant as a Twitter competitor, my comparisons are going to based on its features Pros: Signup was a snap since it directly took my information from Facebook and Instagram. Cons: There are obvious missing features that Twitter has: 1 There is no institutional integration with other sites to direct users to Thread feed 2 No direct messaging 3 No way to organize Thread followings to given topics (e.g. sports Threads in a feed) 4. The feed puts topics that would not appeal to me. Why didn’t include this knowledge from FB/IG? 5. No integration with FB/IG 6. No way to remove suggested Threads from feeds. 7. No way to taylor ads to my desires 8. Nothing new or innovative compared to Twitter, Parler, et al. 9. None of my Followers on FB/IG directly transferred to Threads. Bottom line this is a me-too Twitter app, that I question would be its value proposition long term. If one really desires this type of social app, just sign up to Twitter.

Threads. Thank you so much for this. You don’t even understand how this makes me feel. Secure, positive about what I’m gonna do, how I’m gonna do it and who I bring my site if they’re not real I hope they blow up. Thank you so very much, so never been another, another except from myself. I wanted to help other people by not doing it just don’t know how to reach them to tell him not to. I am try so hard to reach you though not to go through what I went through to my family, putting him through itInvestor so helping me out you put money in the bank lol thanks very much

This will be the best app ever I believe in terms of story telling. We love this app how you can share or tell your stories through different images. This is amazing my first experience went so smooth I am already crazy about it falling in love even. Just the way I can white and communicate to people out their about the power of God and share my love story hopefully to change peoples lives and draw them close to Jesus if he will receive them he says not everyone will make it just a few not everyone is his amen! Guys I am very happy about it 10 stars so far lol

Pretty good. Great solution to twitter, fun to scroll through people’s thoughts and news but it’s a new app and you can tell it’s missing features. I think with time it’ll be a fantastic app if it stays afloat. One thing I’d like to suggest is separate tabs to view threads from just people your following and a tab for explore/discovery/for you, also and edit feature would be useful instead of deleting posts if you misspell and one more quality of life feature would be double tapping posts to like it would tie it into instagram nicely. Overall I think it’s a great app and look forward to seeing how it evolves in the future🪡

Better Than Twitter.. Right now all I can rate this app is 3 stars. It’s generally pretty good, the layout is great and it feels much less toxic than what it’s trying to replace which is always a plus. Unfortunately, there’s some issues that I can’t get past without docking points. There’s no direct messaging feature, that coupled with the need of an instagram account to use the app means that this is not a standalone app but more of an addition to Instagram. Also, the algorithm isn’t the best. It’s difficult to curate your feed to stuff you want to see, like specific topics, which is something some users are already leaving over. All in all, still better than Twitter.

A Moderation and Privacy Disaster. For the past several weeks, Instagram has been banning my 13 year-old account that I mostly use to read family members’ updates every 5-7 days. I send them the “proof of life” photo, they review my account and say “whoops our bad” and restore the account. Then a week later they make the same mistake. Rinse and repeat. Do you want to give access to a company that is that incompetent all your personal data? Scroll down to the description of what information this app collects about you. That’s not necessary to run a short posting service. It is necessary to run a business where they sell your data to other businesses. Meta/Facebook/Instagram shouldn’t be trusted to do anything in your best interest, and they know A LOT about you.

Enjoying Threads so far. I’m enjoying the Threads community very much. I’ve been here since day one. I plan on staying too. I’ve enjoyed watching it grow. This was my first opportunity to join a new social app; so it was very interesting. The atmosphere in Threads is completely different from any other social app I’ve used. It feels genuine, and honest. It’s been clean as for as the speech, post, videos etc. Yes a few boys are always going to try to bring that vibe over to new apps, but their controlling it well. I’m looking forward to more updates in the very near future. Great job THREADS family and creators. Thank you for a positive, peaceful, creative place to just vibe in and relax.” 🤟🏾🫶🏾

It’s just a leftist echo chamber…. I used to use Twitter to form business relationships. Then the left took it over for politics and Twitter started censoring any of us who didn’t have the opinions that were considered proper. I, for one, was glad when Elon bought Twitter because I could finally go back to using it knowing that people from all walks of life could interact and not be silenced. I thought maybe the left learned from Twitter‘s mistakes but apparently not. I can’t get the algorithm over here to work so that I can find the people that I’m looking to interact with, and it has become what Twitter used to be before it was X… Just a place for the left to go cry about politics, and unpopular leftist ideas and make themselves feel like everybody thinks the way they do… Because that’s all they see over here, is people who think the way they do.

Worst of the Worst. You know all the terrible things people say about social media, such as it’s shallow, creates unrealistic expectations, and divides people due to the content algorithms? Well, most other social media apps at least have some positives about them, like how Facebook is very good at connecting people and instagram is great for sharing ideas. Threads has no positive about it, it is all just a giant toxic dumpster fire. All of the content is highly divisive and the worst people are always the ones who have popularly interacted threads, simply because they are controversial. I gave the platform a chance, but I’ve had enough. I open it and always stumble upon things that show the absolute worst of humanity. That is why I will be deleting the app, and I urge anyone who is thinking of installing it to just stay away from this monstrosity.

Frustration Galore. I can honestly say that the app is a nightmare. As an avid user who relies on platforms like this for news, updates, and connections, I am utterly disappointed. The app's performance has hit an all-time low. It lags, freezes, and crashes constantly, making it nearly impossible to have a smooth browsing experience. It's as if the developers took a promising app and intentionally wrecked it. And don't even get me started on the algorithm! The prioritization of irrelevant and repetitive content is mind-numbing. I followed accounts for a reason, but they are rarely shown, while suggestions that I have no interest in flood my feed. It's an infuriating waste of time. The app also bombards users with endless ads and sponsored content, effectively killing the authenticity and charm of the platform. This invasive approach feels greedy and reflects a lack of respect for users' time and attention. In conclusion, the app has become a breeding ground for frustration. Its glitches, algorithmic failures, lack of action against harassment, excessive ads, and poor UX have turned a once-promising platform into a colossal disappointment. Unless drastic improvements are made, I cannot recommend this app to anyone seeking a worthwhile social media experience.

Significantly better than “X”/Twitter. This is a far better app than X/Twitter. Less filled with hate, racism, intolerance and disinformation. Another upside is that since the app is still growing, things like spam and bots aren’t as common on the Threads app as they are on Twitter. Never been a massive fan of Mark Zuckerberg’s latest products like Meta, or even some of his older developments (Facebook), but Threads still has an Instagram-style feel for those just looking to try a new app, and those who are into news, science, politics, economy, would enjoy this app far more than Twitter or any other competitor.

A question... The app is nice. I like the replacement twitter. Its good for old twitter users and for those who never have to ever experience that app and its users which is amazing in so many more ways than one. I wonder why this feature was not added onto Instagram instead than a separate app though? Many of Instagram’s users will probably be hearing this app around and have probably been asking for the text post feature for a while now, such as a myself. I hope to see this app do well and maybe even as an addition to Instagram than its own separate thing. I would do anything for text posts on Instagram.

Great Potential!!. I’ve been using the app for a week now, and so far, I am liking it! The profile resembles it’s grahams old profile format. There aren’t a lot of features like it has on Instagram or other apps. where you could save drafts and schedule posts. I like how I’m able to connect with my Instagram followers through Threads, but you aren’t able to see who is mutually following you, or who follows you back. The overall layout of the time line is quite minimalistic, and reminds me of Tumblr in a way, so I eased into the format. I also wish we could change our usernames and names? I don’t want it to be just a copy paste from my Instagram. The switch account feature logs you out which is annoying. Overall, not bad!

So far so good. Threads suns smoothly, is simple, and really easy to use. Best of all, it’s not bogged down with bad algorithms that bury the content I want under ads and promoted content! Let’s hope meta keeps it that way. So far this has been, for me, more enjoyable to use than instagram. I’ve never used twitter so I can’t say, but there’s gotta be a reason I’ve never bothered. Please don’t mess this up, Mark, don’t ruin this for us. Keep it pure. Keep it for the people, not the investors. Let the other ad-laden social media apps carry this one financially. We desperately need a USEFUL social media app, and this has the potential to do it!

Cheap Twitter Copy. I kept on hearing about this app, so I finally gave it a try. I’m not sure what it is, but something about it feels fake, as in too nice, too forced, too polite, too many rules. I like the raw style of Twitter much better, you’re free to express yourself without so many restrictions. I also don’t see much action going on, maybe because the app is too new. Personally, I don’t see a point to use it when I already have Twitter and Instagram. I can see how it can appeal to some people, because you get more of the fake celebrities on here than you do on Twitter, which are usually the most popular, but to each their own. I’ll be deleting the app, since I hear that if I close the account, I also lose my Instagram account, which I’ve had for years. What a terrible decision to link both apps that way.

Heading in a good direction. I like where this is going but a lot of things need to change before I use this consistently. Please make a section that consists only of the posts by the people I’m following! I’m tired of seeing random people on my feed, so I don’t use this app very much for that reason. Secondly, please add drafts. That one just seems like a no brainer to me. Thirdly, a trending page/trending hashtags would be great. Since you’re clearly taking a page out of Twitter’s playbook, why not add the good parts of Twitter? Also, this is just a thought, but I would really love a section similar to Facebook Groups on Twitter. Spaces where fandoms can interact just within their enclosed group. Thank you! Hoping to see this app improve in the future!

ONE FEATURE TWITTER HAS THAT YOU DON’T …. I know there are tons of updates coming but Twitter will show the ANNOYING “refresh feed” icon under the front camera, which when pressed sends you to the VERY TOP of your feed. Threads has the same. thing. Twitter at least allows you to close the app from your Home Screen, re open Twitter, and the icon is gone BUT you remain at the same place where you were previously scrolling. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE allow users to do this on BOTH Instagram and Threads. I see a post I’m about to repost, like, or reply to, and then my feed refreshes where I lose the post forever. It makes me not want to use the Threads app!!
