Instagram’s Threads - Our First Impressions 👀
100 million members in just 5 days?!
The dust has started to settle on the launch of Instagram's much-anticipated text-centric app Threads. Said to pose as Twitter's biggest rival, the shiny new app has taken the world by storm. It's obviously still early days, but here are our first impressions ('cause they count, right...)
Meta’s Threads officially launched on July 5th.
Stuff we love 💖
✅ Refreshing. Cheerful and light on drama.
✅ 500 characters. Nearly double Twitter's limit.
✅ Ability to share photos, links and videos.
✅ Content for Threads feels free, positive and truly authentic.
✅ Threads feels like an exciting extension of Instagram.
✅ Less competition (for now).
✅ Super clean and enjoyable UI.
MEH (for now)😬
❌ No chronological feed.
❌ Your feed is chosen by an algorithm, not you.
❌ No edit button. Bad spellers, watch out.
❌ No alt text.
❌ No hashtags, ability to search or discover trending topics.
❌ Currently not available in the EU.
