How to Post on Threads

Tap through each step to see exactly how to post on Threads.

  1. Open the Threads app

    Log in with your Instagram account and launch Threads.

  2. Tap the plus icon

    Tap the "+" icon at the bottom center of the screen to open a new post.

  3. Write your text and add media

    Type what you want to say, and attach a photo or short video if you like.

  4. Tap Post

    Once you are done, tap "Post" to share it with your followers.

For quick, text-first thoughts instead of a polished photo

Unlike photo-focused Instagram, Threads lets you quickly share short text-based thoughts, and you can jump right in using the same Instagram account you already have.

Know the character limit before you start typing

Each post can be up to 500 characters, and if you have more to say you can continue the thought in a reply. Because Threads is tied to your Instagram account, your follower relationships carry over between the two apps as well.
