And you can use our existing suite of safety and user controls. Just like on Instagram, with Threads you can follow and connect with friends and creators who share your interests – including the people you follow on Instagram and beyond. Our vision with Threads is to take what Instagram does best and expand that to text, creating a positive and creative space to express your ideas. Instagram is where billions of people around the world connect over photos and videos. We are working toward making Threads compatible with the open, interoperable social networks that we believe can shape the future of the internet.

Whether you’re a creator or a casual poster, Threads offers a new, separate space for real-time updates and public conversations. Mark Zuckerberg just announced the initial version of Threads, an app built by the Instagram team for sharing with text.
