Threads
Say more with Threads — Instagram’s text-based conversation app.
Threads is where communities come together to discuss everything from the topics you care about today to what’ll be trending tomorrow. Whatever it is you’re interested in, you can follow and connect directly with your favorite creators and others who love the same things — or build a loyal following of your own to share your ideas, opinions and creativity with the world.
A few things you can do on Threads…
■ Access your Instagram followers
Your Instagram username and verification badge are reserved for you. Automatically follow the same accounts you follow on Instagram in a few taps, and discover new accounts too.
■ Share your point of view
Spin up a new thread to express what's on your mind. This is your space to be yourself, and you control who can reply.
■ Connect with friends and your favorite creators
Jump to the replies to get in on the action and react to commentary, humor and insight from the creators you know and love. Find your community and connect with people who care about whatever it is you’re interested in.
■ Control the conversation
Customize your settings and use controls to manage who can see your content, reply to your threads, or mention you. Accounts you’ve blocked will carry over from Instagram, and we’re enforcing the same Community Guidelines to help ensure everyone interacts safely and authentically.
■ Find ideas and inspiration
From TV recommendations to career advice, get answers to your questions or learn something new from crowd-sourced conversations, thought leaders and industry experts.
■ Never miss a moment
Stay on top of the latest trends and live events. Whether it’s about new music, movie premieres, sports, games, TV shows, fashion, or the latest product releases, find discussions and receive notifications any time your favorite profiles start a new thread.
■ Leap into the fediverse
Threads is part of the fediverse, a global, open, social network of independent servers operated by third parties around the world. Servers share information with each other to enable people to connect and discover new things across the fediverse.

Why Permissions Matter
If not managed properly, dangerous permissions can permit malicious access to sensitive data, and device features.
AI Observations
DETECTEDThis app uses artificial intelligence and may introduce risks including loss of IP, privacy concerns, or other unintended consequences.
Observed During Analysis
- ML Kit
- PyTorch
- See Your App’s Risk Profile
Why AI Matters
AI features can process sensitive data in unexpected ways, potentially exposing proprietary information or creating liability.
Network Connections Observations
DETECTEDNetwork analysis has detected communication with external servers and data transfer patterns.
Observed During Analysis
Connected Hostname:
- facebook.com
Server Locations:
- Chicago, Illinois, US
- Dublin, Dublin, IE
- See Your App’s Risk Profile
Why Network Connections Matter
Uncontrolled communication with external servers by an employee-used app could expose sensitive business data to unauthorized third parties. This unauthorized access can lead to data breaches, regulatory non-compliance, and damage to your business's reputation and financial standing.
Privacy Declarations Observations
NOT DETECTEDThis test did not detect a discrepancy, indicating all required declarations are disclosed.
- See Your App’s Risk Profile
Why Privacy Declarations Matter
Declarations matter because they provide transparency on how apps collect and use sensitive data. iOS requires Privacy Manifest declarations, while Android requires Data Safety disclosures and manifest permissions.
Sensitive Data Collection and Sharing Observations
NONE DETECTEDNone detected. Further analysis recommended.
