New Delhi: Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has recently launched Threads, a new app designed to provide users with a more intimate and personal means of connecting with friends and family. Similar to Twitter, Threads allows users to share short messages, photos, and videos.

However, it lacks some of the features that have contributed to Twitter's widespread popularity, such as the ability to follow unfamiliar individuals and access trending topics.

Threads is exclusively available to users who have the Facebook app installed. To utilize Threads, users must either create a new account or link their existing Facebook account. Once logged in, users can start adding friends and family, with Threads automatically suggesting connections based on their Facebook friends list.

Threads offers a user-friendly interface and facilitates seamless sharing of photos and videos with individuals who hold significance in one's life. However, it lacks the broader functionalities that have contributed to Twitter's widespread appeal, such as the capacity to follow unfamiliar accounts and explore trending topics.
