11 things about Threads, an Instagram app

1. In the future, there will be ways to discover more content and reach wider audiences: we are planning features that allow you to search for, follow and interact with users on open, interoperable social networks that we believe can shape the future of the internet.

2. Whatever it is you’re interested in, you can follow and connect directly with your favorite creators and others who love the same things — or build a loyal following of your own to share your ideas, opinions and creativity with the world.

3. Whether it’s about new music, movie premieres, sports, games, TV shows, fashion, or the latest product releases, find discussions and receive notifications any time your favorite profiles start a new thread.

4. Accounts you’ve blocked will carry over from Instagram, and we’re enforcing the same Community Guidelines to help ensure everyone interacts safely and authentically.

5. Automatically follow the same accounts you follow on Instagram in a few taps, and discover new accounts too.

6. Find your community and connect with people who care about whatever it is you’re interested in.

7. Customize your settings and use controls to manage who can see your content, reply to your threads, or mention you.

8. From TV recommendations to career advice, get answers to your questions or learn something new from crowd-sourced conversations, thought leaders and industry experts.

9. Jump to the replies to get in on the action and react to commentary, humor and insight from the creators you know and love.
