Meta\u2019s new social media platform, Threads, crossed five million sign-ups in just four hours after its launch, according to CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Threads is a new social media platform built for sharing text updates and joining public conversations.<\/p>\n

Threads, which is created by the Instagram team, allows you to share short posts or updates up to 500 characters. You can include links, photos, or videos up to 5 minutes in length. Similar to Instagram, with Threads users can follow and connect with friends and creators who share their interests, including the people they follow on Instagram.<\/p>\n

Meta says that users under 16 (or under 18 in certain countries) will be defaulted into a private profile when they join the app. They can also control who can mention them or reply to them within Threads. They can also unfollow, block, restrict or report a profile on Threads by tapping the three-dot menu, and any accounts they have blocked on Instagram will automatically be blocked on Threads.<\/p>\n

Users will get a Twitter-like microblogging experience, suggesting that Meta Platforms has been gearing up to directly challenge Elon Musk\u2019s platform. There are buttons to like, repost, reply to or quote a \u201cthread,\u201d and counters showing the number of likes and replies that a post has received.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs with all our products, we\u2019re taking safety seriously, and we\u2019ll enforce Instagram\u2019s Community Guidelines on content and interactions in the app. Since 2016 we\u2019ve invested more than $16 billion in building up the teams and technologies needed to protect our users, and we remain focused on advancing our industry-leading integrity efforts and investments to protect our community,” said Meta in a statement.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
