About Threads
Threads currently isn’t available to everyone.
Threads is an app from Instagram where you can post threads, reply to others and follow profiles you’re interested in. Threads and replies can include short pieces of text, links, photos, videos or any combination of them.
People can also follow you to see your threads and replies in their feeds and from your profile. Who can see your posts is determined by your profile’s privacy setting. People can reply to your posts to add to the discussion or like, share, quote or repost your content. Anyone who has an Instagram account can create a Threads profile.

Reply to a thread
You can add to a discussion by replying to others. Your reply will appear in the thread and on your profile where people will be able to reply to it. Note that you may not be able to see all the replies to you. (example: if someone with a private profile replies to you and you don’t follow them.)
Who can see your posts is determined by your profile’s privacy setting. You can also like, share or repost a thread.
