Threads vs Friends Status

Discover new perspectives and connect through conversation on Threads. See what people are talking about right now—from niche interests to big moments. With communities, you can find people who also care about your interests on Threads. Reply, listen, share or just follow along. Here’s what you can do on Threads: ■ Start a thread, share your take Have something on your mind? Take it to Threads. Share a thought, ask a question or open up a conversation. There’s more than one way to kick things off with text, images, polls, ghost posts and more. ■ Jump into replies Jump into the discussion, react to new ideas or just see where the conversation goes. Every thread is an invitation to join in. ■ Keep up with what’s trending From live scores to breaking moments, Threads helps you stay close to what’s happening —and join the conversation when you’ve got something to say. ■ Control the content you see Control who can reply to you, mention you or see your posts. Use Hidden Words to filter out posts and replies that include words or phrases you don’t want to see—so your experience stays on your terms. ■ Go deep on your interests Follow friends, creators and communities for every interest. Threads is built to help you discover new voices and join conversations—starting with the communities you care about most. ■ Connect over chat Keep the conversation going privately with 1:1 and group DMs. When a public thread gets more personal, move it to your inbox to go deeper or share it with a smaller group.

Friends Status is the anti-social network: a small circle of friends, one status of the moment, and nothing else. No feed, no followers, no public profile. Just what your people are up to, right now. ONE STATUS, FOUR WAYS TO SAY IT • A giant emoji or a few words. • A photo taken on the spot (camera only, no library). • A drawing made with your finger. • A voice note, one minute max. Posting replaces the previous one, and every status clears itself after 4 days. Nothing piles up. YOUR FRIENDS ON YOUR HOME SCREEN The Friends Status widget shows the latest status your friends posted, without opening the app. Pick a star friend: the widget then shows them all the time, with a small star. A CIRCLE, NOT A NETWORK Share your invite link, or add someone by their exact username: every request has to be accepted. There is no directory, no suggestions, no people discovery: you only add people you already know. Your status is visible to your accepted friends only — never public. PEACE OF MIND • Notifications are off by default, on when you want them, with a mute per friend. • Block anyone silently: they will never know. • Report content in two taps; every report is reviewed within 24 hours. YOUR DATA No selling, no third-party analytics. Statuses are erased after 4 days, photos and voice notes live in private storage, and you can delete your account — and everything with it — right from the app. FREE, WITH PREMIUM AS AN OPTION Text and drawings are unlimited and free. Without Premium, a short video gets you 3 photos or voice notes to keep in reserve (up to 5). Premium is a one-time purchase — no subscription, no renewal — that unlocks unlimited photos and voice notes and removes all ads. Friends Status is available in English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese (Brazil), Italian and Japanese, and is for people aged 15 and over.
