Threads (by Instagram)
Threads is an app made by Instagram where users can post threads, reply to others and follow profiles that they’re interested in. Threads is a direct Twitter competitor.
Threads and replies can take various forms, including short pieces of text, links, photos, videos, or any combination of them.
People can also follow each other to see their threads and replies in their feed and from their profiles. Post visibility settings are determined by one’s profile privacy settings. People can reply to posts to join the discussion or like, share, quote, or repost content. Anyone with an Instagram account can create a Threads profile.
When you create a profile on Threads, it becomes linked to the Instagram account you used to log in. The data obtained from your Instagram account and used on Threads may encompass:
- Your login information for Instagram
- Your unique Instagram account ID
- Your Instagram name and username
- Information present in your Instagram profile, including your profile picture, bio, and links
- Your Instagram followers
- The accounts you follow on Instagram
- Your age as stated on Instagram
- The status of your Instagram account in relation to intellectual property violations and instances of non-compliance with Instagram’s Community Guidelines.
