We compiled a list of things we noticed on Meta’s new application, Threads app. Threads is a standalone social media application developed by Instagram, which is owned by Meta.

Threads is primarily focused on enabling users to share photos, videos, text with a select group of people from their Instagram network. It allows users to create and maintain a separate space for their close friends, ensuring that they can easily stay connected and share updates with this smaller circle.

Below is a list of things we learned about Threads

1. For every thread there is a 500 character limit
