(7-5-23) Meta announced the initial version of Threads was rolled out today in more than 100 countries for iOS and Android, and people in those countries can download the app from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Threads is an app built by the Instagram team for sharing with text. Threads offers a new, separate space for real-time updates and public conversations. Working toward making Threads compatible with the open, interoperable social networks that we believe can shape the future of the internet.

You can now follow us on Threads at www.threads.net/mcoutlook, you can sign up at the Apple Apps Store. With threads when we a post a story with a link you will be to click on that link, Instagram does not allow that for us.

Instagram is where people around the world connect over photos and videos. Threads is to take what Instagram does best and expand that to text, creating a positive and creative space to express your ideas. Just like on Instagram, with Threads you can follow and connect with friends and creators who share your interests – including the people you follow on Instagram and beyond. And you can use our existing suite of safety and user controls.
