Instagram introduced a Twitter Killer known as Threads a few months ago. The app was introduced at the right time and has become the fastest app to reach the 5 million active users mark.
While the craze of Threads has gone down, people still use it, and it’s still considered the best Twitter alternative. The best part is that both Instagram & Threads are interconnected.
Thread app uses your Instagram account data to create an account. This means you can just log in to Threads with your Instagram account credentials. While Threads account getting linked with Instagram does make sense, it has a few demerits.
