These social media apps are all so similar. They are just getting us to waste more time looking at our screens and being detached from the real physical world. This one has no value add. It’s just a replica of others before it.
Once you've created a Threads account, the only way to delete is to also delete your Instagram account. Some serious concerns regarding privacy have already been brought up.
If Threads has to be used within Instagram it’s not an app but a feature. I think it’s intended to keep people on Instagram which is not what I want for myself. I would like to hear more of a critique not just complete acceptance of the feature.
Yeah don't sign up for this app. It's basically turned into Twitter but how it was in the early 2010's. Twitter users have migrated to the platform to get away from Elon and. You have people already starting drama. Even worse, people will petty and block and hide your comments if you try to respond to them or they'll comment under your post and block you. Literally just took their old mentality with them. Literally the Tumblr migration all over again when people migrated from Tumblr to Twitter and made the platform toxic.
And yup yup and they’re are raking in the cash for it too!?! And the universe would be better off without all of the Kardashian’s!?!! I’d rather watch paint dry!?!
I am using it and I like it but, I don't like the fact that if you want to get rid of Threads you have to get rid of Instagram and completely start all over again with a new account Instagram. Very nice and detailed video.
I wasn't going to waste my time with it, but I am glad to read what you said about loosing Instagram if you delete threads. That is a real concern if you use instagram for business. You could literally loose everything you spent hundreds of hours creating for your business. Very disapointing.
Over the years, I’ve seen many videos trying to explain computer or phone related technology and how to use it. Your video was very explanatory in the first place and you went through it step-by-step. It’s one of the best IT related tutorials I’ve ever seen. Thank you very much. I feel a lot more confident now.
Everyone is so engrossed in their phones that they miss so much of real life.. ever deeper they wade into the Matrix and even farther from truth of who we really are. Sad.
You can't delete your threads account without deleting your Instagram account meaning easy to join threads but hard to leave that's why I'm staying with twitter
The purpose of Instagram is mostly to share photos and videos. Facebook has the ability to share long text comments. Threads is similar to Twitter in that it only allows the posting of relatively short messages. In addition, Facebook has a reputation that it is preferred by older people. Threads may be trying to appeal to a younger demographic.
@@Eternal_Techso verbal diarrhoea or streams of thought? Trying to think why… 1. To make it worth it to actually spend time & effort to make content for it (outside of sharing content made elsewhere, because Instagram stories has a slightly similar “quick thoughts” vibe) 2. Twitter’s been pretty useless outside of connecting with fandoms (fandoms communities are pretty big, but I haven’t seen any of mine moving over to Threads 🤔) 3. Possibly easier to create community & connect with audience? Is this why Musk is cage fighting Zuckerberg? 😅
🔴PLEASE NOTICE🔴 I downloaded this app few days ago and since that my DM on instagram isn't working. All my chats are disappeared. I can send a message to someone, but when someone wants to send me a message I can't get it. Meanwhile my other accounts don't have any problem with it. I don't know is it a coincidence or not, but it's already 3-4 days that my direct isn't working. If anyone knows how to fix this problem, please tell me😭 P.s. I tried many things to fix this problem ( I rebooted my phone, deleted and installed instagram, logged out and then logged in my account, I even wrote a report to instagram) but nothing has changed.
I hate Instagram so won't be using Threads. Forcing the use of Instagram is crazy. And not being able to delete a Thread account without first deleting the associated Instagram account - well that is ridiculous. Meta's just trying to lock me into their dodgy ecosystem. It's not a problem for me - I won't be using either.
It hasn’t reached maturity . Why would you want that? Are you in love with it already? It hasn’t even differentiated itself from Twitter. Twitter could clean up its threads. I find it messy and difficult to follow threads on Twitter.
what does the blue star mean in the activity view? When certain user posts a thread I get a blue star by their picture in the activity feeds so was curious.
After signing up, when I open the app threads then there is a glitch type of thing that happens like pages overlap each other like some sort of bug. Other apps are working fine even Instagram is working fine, after minimizing it when I reopen the app again the same issue happened. Somehow I logged out my account but after installing it again I had the same problem. Now I don’t know whether this is happening only with me or there is someone else who has faced this same issue.
It appears that Threads reproduces the elements already available on facebook & twitter. Have you found within the app any innovative features which do not already exist on the other social media platforms yet?
Technologically, Twitter-like apps aren't rocket science. An experienced developer can hack around a prototype in a few weekends. What advantage Threads has is Meta's huge infrastructure to support billions of users and quick import from Instagram.
Of course not...but at this point i don't even try to fight the machine anymore because big tech has already infiltrated the entire human experience. It is what it is...make the smartest decisions you can
I just deleted IG account its just too much hassle and use facebook only on a browser with custom ad-blockers it makes life way easier...staying with Twitter as this platform is funny right now :D
Regardless of the censorship or whatever else issues one may have, this in a fact for all to think about it, will you give your entire data to Facebook aka Meta; which is a company that has sold information to gain revenue? This is a proven fact. Or if that question doesn’t bother you, will you trust all your online data to a man who betrayed each person who helped him to go where he is now? If so, good luck to you
Doesn't look like worth joining, its just another version of Facebook with the same censorship. If you even use certain words on Facebook you get a warning that some users might be offended. My favorite political cartoonist was blocked on Threads from even posting one of his hard hitting cartoons. FB is right wing leaning, and yes they steal your information and sell it to bad actors. These big corporations do NOT care about US, they are literal dictatorships and dangerous to put your business on, because you can build up a following for years and they will dump your account for the most ridiculous small things. I lost my biz account there couple years ago for just "liking" an anti-Trump cartoon. People on Facebook are so scared of posting anything about current events, nobody has any serious conversations there anymore. I'm sure Threads will attract people who want to talk about mindless things, its all part of dumbing down Humanity.
@@vanbrandon Zuckerberg made millions from Putin, to overthrow our government, pretty much a fact and Russians even bragged that their "vote" won the election for Trump. Zucky owes no allegiance to our country. Its rather disgusting to watch all these lemmings rush to sign up without a single thought about about the consequences of making a billionaire richer while he's opened a new back door to all their data. We are headed to where China is now. Over there if you are video'd running a red light, it goes on their social media and you are publicly shamed and censored by the government, and your face goes on all the public TV screens that are everywhere in the cities.

Great! But the question is what is new here? I mean Meta already has Facebook and Instagram. So, What is the benefit of another same sort of network? Are they trying to make some twitter like thing? What is your thought?
All I see is a copy of Twitter, including the blue checkmarks. Don't understand why they're there, because you can only join with your IG-account, so you're already verified. And IG is (was?) 'free' to use. (On Twitter, the blue checkmark indicates you have a paid account.) Anyway: I'll stick to Twitter. Besides the big difference in censorship (for as long as it lasts), I reach/find a whole other audience there. Threads seems just another way to interact with the people you can already interact with on IG (or FB). But thanks for the video, Kevin! As always easy to follow and very helpful 💕
Hello - apologies if this is a stupid question but I don’t use twitter, don’t really know much about how it works etc. Is IG Threads similar to the twitter concept? That being able to comment on well, basically a ‘thread’?
Thank you for telling me. I’ve been looking forward to getting threads and I’ve seen many people on instagram get it so I’ll get it. Also I didn’t know how threads work so now I know! Thank you!😊
Threads is not available in Europe and for a good reason, as it breaches your privacy in a humongous way. The app even wants to track your health data, why? You should have mentioned that in your video

No community but lots of accounts being ported from Instagram. Lacking real conversation and engagement, lot of fake engagement and gaming of the feed.
Question: So see I IG messages that people want to follow me on Threads, so what does this mean, does it mean that since I have an IG account do I automatically have a Thread account 🤔😟😟????
guys do you make you account cuz idk i have it on private right now i feel like its not fun no one could reply to my threads so tell do you have your public and is it better to have it public?
So does that mean, if someone has treads app, they can't or won't use the normal Instagram anymore because they have treads now and if someone can't use treads like me for example, because I'm in europe, that means If I follow a treads user on Instagram I will no longer be able to see their posts, because my Instagram will not be Connected to treads? So will treads totally replace Instagram or will you be able to use it both apps independently like either treads or Instagram?

Owner of instagram. Not maker.
How do you uninstall it? I don't want it..
So basically Twitter with a different name ?

Also Meta didn't make Instagram, they just bought it😊

What's stopping me from simply not using the app anymore?
Twitter is run by a trustworthy person.
@@joelkaben😂😂
Thank you 🙏👍
The app is pretty new so I will give it some time to improve. As of now, it feels restricted in some areas
So what is the purpose of Threads and how does it add anything that Facebook and Instagram doesn't already have?
I'm wondering the same thing. It seems like another version of Instagram. Isn't it doing the same thing? I'm not understanding what's the purpose
By your Musk🐀 logic, what purpose did twitter serve when Facebook and Instagram exist!!?
Thread is doing what Twitter used to do.
Yea lol I don't understand what is different between all these apps. They all do the exact same things.
The purpose of Instagram is mostly to share photos and videos. Facebook has the ability to share long text comments. Threads is similar to Twitter in that it only allows the posting of relatively short messages. In addition, Facebook has a reputation that it is preferred by older people.

Thanks Kevin for being a first adopter of Threads😊. And thanks for the clear explanation on how Threads works.
So a separate app from Instagram and again more work and more social time online??

I just added this app yesterday, and I was wondering how it all worked. Thanks for the tutorial!!! 😊

its called twitter
In a Nutshell, Threads is Twitter for Meta
instead of improving Instagram , they created another app?
Thanks Kevin for that! Accordingly to your experience, what are the key main purpose of threads if Instagram already has all these functions?
what does the blue star mean in the activity view? When certain user posts a thread I get a blue star by their picture in the activity feeds so was curious.
Say Twitter II and save me 7 mins.

I think the link with IG is unfortunate, I might not want an IG account for every use-case for Threads and vice versa,
I really need to know what's the point of this if it's linked to Instagram and it's doing almost the same thing? I can't really see a difference.
Technologically, Twitter-like apps aren't rocket science. An experienced developer can hack around a prototype in a few weekends. What advantage Threads has is Meta's huge infrastructure to support billions of users and quick import from Instagram.
Good timing. I signed up today, excited to use and see where it goes.
Let me know what you think!
Without direct messaging, I have no use. It's simply a duplication.😊
So we’re supposed to trust Zuck with our data ?
Of course not...but at this point i don't even try to fight the machine anymore because big tech has already infiltrated the entire human experience. It is what it is...make the smartest decisions you can
There's always Mastodon or decentralized social media... but then you're trusting whoever the server admin happens to be.

Thanks for this! how did you get it to go to dark mode?
It relies on your system settings. Turn on dark mode on your phone OS and Threads will respect that 👍
Thanks for this overview. I wasn't sure if I wanted to join but you explained it perfectly. I signed up, lol.
Was it worth it?
Great! But the question is what is new here? I mean Meta already has Facebook and Instagram. So, What is the benefit of another same sort of network? Are they trying to make some twitter like thing? What is your thought?

Threads icon as “ခြ”
which means termite😂
If you follow them on threads, does it follow them on instagram? Seems like this could have just been an integration
How do you use the translator on Threads???
Does Threads have a plan to offer a Web-based version that is accessible by computers?
I believe you can access and look at the threads but you can’t like or comment on anything
What’s a computer?
I wanted to put one of my Instagram videos on Threads. I went to the share options and Threads wasn’t an option but Twitter was 😂
*On Kourtney's account*
"Looks like there's some intresting content here! :D" LMFAOOOOOOOO
😅

I doubt I'll be using this for my personal use but for content creation, most likely.

I would like to know how threads is different to FB and Insta, I maybe naive, but I'm genuinely wondering where to post!
Excellent tutorial video
So I guess it takes out the random pages and people that show up on the Instagram feed?? Yes??
Thank you kevin you have been helping me a lot 🇬🇲🇬🇲❤
No community but lots of accounts being ported from Instagram. Lacking real conversation and engagement, lot of fake engagement and gaming of the feed.

Loving Threads so far!
Thanks for sharing that you can’t delete threads without deleteting instagram. Now definitely I’m not installing it . I stick with Twitter
Love this video, very helpful!!
thank you Kevin very helpful
Is Threads not basically the Meta copy of Twitter/X?
I dont see any difference between the 2
I agree.
Thank you for the quality tutorial!
Kind of reminds me of the Twitter of old back in 2006 when it first got released.
@FixesAndUpdateswelcome to internet 🎉🎉🎉
"community goods in la is such a vibe"
Looks a lot like Twitter. Excellent video!
a world of app everywhere in your phone. take a cup of tea in a deep sunset
So Twitter?
Great, needed this informative guide
Question: So see I IG messages that people want to follow me on Threads, so what does this mean, does it mean that since I have an IG account do I automatically have a Thread account 🤔😟😟????
Jesus Loves You all so much ❤️ always Have Faith and Pray ❤️ You all Matter
If you log out of your threads account does it log you out of your Instagram account to?
“Lets follow Korthey Kardashian, that sounds interesting…!” this guy is funny 😄
guys do you make you account cuz idk i have it on private right now i feel like its not fun no one could reply to my threads so tell do you have your public and is it better to have it public?
How do you check your messages or answer a friend request?
Seems like the new place to post gym pictures
Well how is this different to instagram itself? Posting photos with captions and being able to like and reply. How is it different
So does that mean, if someone has treads app, they can't or won't use the normal Instagram anymore because they have treads now and if someone can't use treads like me for example, because I'm in europe, that means If I follow a treads user on Instagram I will no longer be able to see their posts, because my Instagram will not be Connected to treads? So will treads totally replace Instagram or will you be able to use it both apps independently like either treads or Instagram?
I see this is end for Instagram in America
