■ Registration completed with just an Instagram account
Most social media sites require a phone number or email address to register, but if you already have an Instagram account, you can sign up in less time.
■ You can also link your Instagram followers to Threads.
When you sign up for Threads, you can connect your followers on Instagram to Threads.
You can connect immediately without having to go through the inefficient process of advertising to your Instagram followers and then asking for the user's ID later to follow them.
Disadvantages
■ Search only by account
When you search using the search tab, only communication directors email list accounts related to the keywords will be displayed, and you will not be able to search for text, etc.
Tags can be found through search, but there are no trends yet.
Point
It was announced on December 7, 2023 that the tagging feature for posts has been added.
Currently, only one tag can be added to each post.
By entering a specific keyword in the search, you can view posts related to that keyword.
Reference: Threads tags (#) are now available globally, including in Japanese
■ My timeline only shows people I don't know
Even if you follow accounts, they won't appear on your timeline, and you can only see posts from accounts that you don't follow.
Also, the timeline is not displayed in chronological order.
Also, if your account is not private, there is a chance that your posts may be seen on the timelines of people you don't know, so be careful if you don't want others to see them.
Point
As of December 2023, there are two timelines: "Accounts you follow" and "Recommended for you," and you can choose to view either one.
■ No DM function
Unlike Instagram and Twitter, there is no DM function, so for now the only way to interact with other users is through threads.
