Threads Makes Sign-Up Simple For New Users
Threads, the Twitter competitor developed by Meta, has garnered significant attention since its launch. In a matter of hours, numerous celebrities and individuals’ acquaintances had already signed up for the platform. This can be attributed to Meta leveraging the existing user base of Instagram to swiftly attract users to Threads. The platform not only facilitated seamless connectivity with all of their Instagram followers from the get-go but also enabled users to utilize their existing Instagram usernames.
This means that signing up for Threads is easy – and users can easily transfer their Instagram profile and any links they’ve added to their Instagram profile in addition to their username.
In the past, new social media platforms have often failed because they didn’t have “people” to begin with. Everything had to be built from the proverbial scratch – which is a difficult task. However, the threads seem to be different. Popular influencers such as MKBHD, British F1 driver Lewis Hamilton and notable publications such as The Washington Post are already using Threads. This gives Threads a strong foundation to grow.
How to follow the same people in threads as on Instagram, choose your Instagram username and import bio:
- When you open the Threads app for the first time, Threads will give you the option to sign in with your Instagram account. Tap it.
- Next, Threads allows you to import your bio, profile name and links from your Instagram account.
- Send it – choose to follow all the accounts you already follow on Instagram.
- You can also select the people you want to follow individually if you don’t want to follow everyone.
