Thread is a latest app launch by Meta which will be available from 6th of July 2023 and will be a direct rival of social network Twitter, which has been facing a number of issues after the controversial takeover from entrepreneur Elon Musk.
Thread is a new app from parent comapny Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. The platform looks a lot like twitter with a feed of largely text-based posts although users can also posts many photos and videos where people can have real-time conversations.
Key differences between threads and twitter
-
Threads will give users 500-character count whereas unverified twitter users has maximum limit of 280 characters.
-
Threads will require users to have an instagram account so it will be an advantage for the thread users as they will have their existing instagram audience on thread.
-
Twitter's homepage allow users to see what's trending and other topics they maybe interested in whereas the only way to explore on thread is to scroll through home feed.
Thread works exactly like twitter. The tweets in Thread app are called threads and retweets are called reposts.
