TRUETELLS NIGERIA brings you detailed instructions on how to sign up and use Threads by Meta.
1. Download the Threads app
At the time of writing, the only way to signup for Threads is via its official app. You can either search for Threads on the iOS or Android app store. Or you can visit Threads.net and scan the QR code in the bottom left corner.
2. Log in using your Instagram account
Once you’ve opened the Threads app, click the “Log in with Instagram” button at the bottom of the screen. Now enter your Instagram account details.
3. Select Join Threads
After entering your Instagram account details, you will be prompted to verify your account and then will see a splash screen that explains how Threads works. From here, press the “Join Threads” option to complete the sign-up process.
4. Enjoy Threads
You are now ready to explore all that Threads has to offer, and you can also customize your profile. This can be done independently of Instagram. For example, you can set your Threads account to public, while keeping your Instagram private, or vice versa.
And that’s everything you need to know about how you sign up for Threads. We expect the process will eventually be possible without a pre-existing Instagram account, and a proper desktop version of the social media platform may be launched in the future as well. For now though, while Threads is very much the new kid on the block, it’s already developing into a fairly interesting social network that is a great place to connect with people. And share memes, of course.
That said, if you’ve signed up for Threads and decided it’s not for you, here’s how to deactivate your Threads account.
