Facebook announced a few months ago the future availability of a new app for Instagram that would allow us to keep in touch with our friends in an easier way. That app has already arrived. We're talking about Threads for Instagram Basically it's like having direct messages from the photography social network in an independent app, but with the odd extra. I'll tell you all the details and how you can install it on your mobile.
Threads for Instagram takes advantage of one of the best features of the social network: stories and direct messages.But in this case with a different approach, only for closest friends or best friends. By installing the application we can link it with our Instagram account and select the users to whom we want to send content or messages . This way, if we post a 'story' from Threads , we can send it directly to all of our selected friends. We can also chat or even make video calls. The chats are synchronized with our Instagram account, so old conversations will appear.
If we take a video or a photo, the app will give us the possibility to publish it in our best friends story (it is sent to all the contacts that we have established when opening the app) or, send to certain contacts. In either case, users will receive the 'story' in the chat. Threads also allows us to create more closed groups or change the status In addition to different sharing options customization, such as changing the color of the interface.It is still a more specific app for the publication of stories in Best Friends, so it is not something that we cannot do in the app. Of course, it is somewhat more intuitive.
How to download Threads
How can you have Threads for Instagram? The application has not yet been published on Google Play, but it is possible to download it through an APK. You can download it here on Android. Once downloaded, install it like any other application. You will see that a new purple icon appears on the home screen Then you just have to log in with your Instagram account and follow the steps that the application shows you. I have not found a way to download this app on iPhone, so if you are an Apple user, you will have to wait for its official launch in the App Store.
