Threads from Instagram for Negative User Reviews
✓ It’s fine but…Threads should be for Instagram what Messenger is for Facebook. Or even better, integrate Instagram messaging into the messenger app but under an Instagram tab to separate conversations on FB and conversations on IG (to avoid duplicate friends on the same message thread). Or maybe a little bubble with IG and FB icons on the profile photos..Version: 2.0.0
✓ EWhen I’m in the app I can’t hear the sound from the video and when I try to save the video, it will only save half of the video not the entire thing..Version: 1.2.19
✓ I love this app but-I really like the style of the status’. I think it would be even better if, when the phone is turned off for more than 20 minutes, without moving around or being active, you could put ‘💤 - Asleep’ as the a default setting, as you did for ‘⚡️ - Charging’ because it would make it a lot easier for people to know if you are asleep or not. Also, I think it would be useful if you could have a setting to show your status to everyone, as people with bigger accounts could make it easier to show their followers when they’re busy..Version: 1.1.25
✓ One expensive redundancyI got this app the explore features I knew were only available on Threads, not realizing it was an entire messaging app. I already have a camera app for my close friends — it’s called Instagram. IG already lets me send stories or messages to friends and specific people. Why go to all the effort to design an entire app that has just some of the features of the main app? I have to go BACK to ig to view or share posts that are sent to me within Threads. The entire thing is a giant redundancy and I can’t believe facebook paid for it. Add captioning to the main app and call it a day..Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ Slow and glitchyLove not having to open Instagram to see and reply to messages But the Threads app is slow and half the messages I send using the app don’t even go through, just says “sending” when I view them on Instagram itself.Version: 1.2.42
✓ Cannot video call friends!!My friends (in a group chat) can video call me but when I try to call them, other groups chats, and individual people, it fails. Please fix this!!! I’m enjoying the app and it’s making me a happier person, despite having to add 20 people to my close friends list, not being able to upload photos from my camera to my story, and etc. I would also like to use all the stickers from the public story and the option for this to be just close friends or everyone else who follows you. I wold also like to see the time that messages are sent, it’s a basic function which should be there. PLEASE PUT STORY VIEWING BACK!! I use the app so much less because I need to look at stories, as they’re quite personal most of the time..Version: 1.1.26
✓ Another ruined appHad to use this alternative as Instagram refused to acknowledge the message notification bug since upgrading to my iPhone 12. Now you’ve ruined this all by not being able to search for people to message, and made this a clunky circle ui.. why?.Version: 2.0.0
✓ Where is hands-free?!Using this app to add subtitles to Instagram stories and videos (why isn’t this function available within Instagram already to make it more accessible for those with hearing impairments?!) and while I appreciate the filters and gifs from my Instagram account now being a part of this app, the one feature I really need is hands-free. I need to record tutorials and how-tos using both of my hands with my phone attached to a tripod, so I can’t keep my finger on the record button. This feels like a big oversight! And as mentioned above, why does this need to be a separate app - can’t you just add subtitle capabilities to the main Instagram app? You can send Instagram stories to close friends only already, so I don’t see this point of any of this being separate..Version: 1.2.19
✓ Descent AppThreads from Instagram is an interesting little app, like Instagram Direct Messaging but only with close friends. It’s very obviously trying to compete with Snapchat but there are some subtle features like themes (dark mode!) that the app does have to differentiate itself from the rest. It seems to be very early in development, not too far off from Facebook messenger minus a few essential features, but overall it’s a decent app. Is it entirely required? No. Would I use it more often if I actually used Instagram to message people more? Maybe..Version: 1.0
✓ OkI like it quite a bit, but please introduce the voice captions to the UK, and other english speaking countries. Much appreciated.Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ CanadianBoyyyyy if yall dont make the bleeping out cuss words available in canada i will literally skin all of you and eat your flesh 😍.Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ Confused!Super excited for this app but there’s no option for captioning my videos and that’s the main reason I wanted to use it! Deleting and I’ll come back when the caption option is offered in Canada. Forced to give it 1 star but zero star is my true review..Version: 1.2.18
✓ Step forward for accessibility but slight changes will be amazing.I have some feedback about this app. I am so happy there is a free way to caption videos. But the captions need some major improvements 1.)please make the captions pop up on screen as one full meaningful chunk instead of one word at a time 2.) deaf people deserve to see all words. Even swear words. Please get rid of the bleeps in app 3.) one consistent font size would be easier to read. 4.) making a solid colored background for the fonts would be easier to read aswell. 5.) make the captioning feature available on the main app. Major improvement for accessibility on Instagram. Thank you for developing this. But we can always improve!.Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ CussingCan you guys add the cussing censor for and the text as well England as well cause it’s only Americans who have it and England would appreciate it if you could add it please.Version: 1.2.17
✓ Idk how I feel abt thisI have no subtitles to my video when I record is that because I’m in Australia? Or is it the phone I’m using?.Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ Down since 12/17 PLEASE FIXI can’t send video threads through the app anymore. A friend of mine and I use this app as a main form of communication because of the captions and we can’t send each other videos. App states it’s failed to send. We’ve both tried uninstalling it, updating it, restarting our phones and reaching out to support. Neither of us can send each other or anyone else Threads. At this point we’re creating the videos in threads, saving them and then sending over the Instagram DM. Which is a very long workaround to use something like Threads. Please fix this.Version: 1.2.19
✓ Pls read thisSee i’m in britain and for some reason we don’t have the captions, this is not fair. I am HoH and i try to put captions on any vids i make to help over people who are hard of hearing also. So me not doing this means i cant tell what i said when watching it back and other people cant tell what i’m saying also PLS FIX THIS.Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ Canada UpdateI wanna get bleeped out to😔.Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ Really dislike the new layout and updateMakes it really hard to message friends have have to search through and pin all my close friends again.Version: 2.0.0
✓ Bring back the previous IG fonts please1. Bring back the previous IG fonts please... You would win me back as a user 2. This app is extremely buggy 3. Stories quality are always bad because text or stickers are warped on the screen 4. Earlier versions if this app was much more proficient.Version: 1.2.19
✓ Need helpIt would be a 5 star if everything was there like it shows but the writing doesn’t come up and then walkie-talkie Icon isn’t there j think it only works for big creators honestly really annoying cause you want to writing so people who can hear can red what your saying :/ please get the walkie-talkie icon back please!!!.Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ Dm issuesMy direct message haven’t been working and there hasn’t been a fix. It doesn’t load my DMs I’ve done all the methods to try fix this issue and no luck please sort this out.Version: 1.1.3
✓ Make it work on CanadaCaptioning is only for US users.Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ Needs more featuresI downloaded this app as a way to avoid instagram but still stay in contact with my “close friends”. If that is not your intention with this app then it’s pretty much useless. It is just your instagram dms page with less features, you can still view your close friends stories and set a close friends story yourself but you can’t see posts or accounts. It is good for my purpose but not much else. What I really hate is that you can’t use filters on your photos that you send to people or put your story and you can’t instantly reply to photos you’re sent. On normal instagram there would be a little camera icon at the bottom of the photo but it is not there on threads. The app itself works fine but it has this weird “status” feature but you can’t view peoples statuses on normal instagram. It’s would work better if you could view your close friends status from instagram..Version: 1.1.4
✓ Notifications glitchPLEASE FIX THE NOTIFICATION GLITCH I don’t get any notifications for all of your apps.Version: 1.2.35
✓ Group chatLet us have our group chats please! Not just close friends.Version: 1.2.4
✓ MAKE IT AVAILABLE IN CANADAPLEASE MAKE BLEEPING OUT CUSS WORDS IN CANADA😔😭.Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ Stop blocking DM notifications from InstagramAs the title suggests, I absolutely hate that the app stop notifications from close friends on instagram, redirecting you to use the app. Some people might enjoy it but personally its too complicated for something that should have been simple. The status act is cool but the rest of the features I personally dislike. That being said the status feature should honestly just be implemented into instagram itself. I might download this again if theres an update that adds another option that would let me continue DMing and receiving notifications normally. For now I can’t ignore this huge flawz.Version: 1.2.14
✓ Flips my video horizontally + no hands freeI just downloaded this to be able to caption videos for accessibility. I uploaded a recorded video to caption, and as soon as I edit one word, it flips my video sideways to horizontal...for zero reason. The captions still display upright and there is NO way to fix it! Makes no sense and it’s very frustrating. Also, I would love to record IN the app to save a step, but how is there no hands-free option? I agree with other reviews that they just need to add the captions options directly to Instagram and call it a day..Version: 1.2.20
✓ DecentGood for avoiding reels, but I wish you could switch between accounts and add music to your story..Version: 1.2.33
✓ What for french peopleBonjour, Très dommage que le sous titrage en français ne fonctionne pas. Mon contenu est en Français ainsi que l’ensemble de ma communauté. Vous devez absolument ajouter cette fonction... en plus mon app est en français... ps: ya pas juste de l’anglais dans le canada....Version: 1.2.23
✓ What’s the point of this app?It honestly feels like Instagram/Facebook is running out of ideas. This app is literally Instagram DMs with 1 or 2 new features that no one really cares about. The app feels way too basic because it is extremely limited and inconvenient, especially since most of the features already exists in the Instagram app. Why should I switch apps just to talk to the same people about the same things on an identical platform? I feel like the concept for Threads wasn’t thought out very well. It just creates more inconvenience for the user in the end. Hopefully a lot more features and diverse functionality get added to the app to make it actually stand out from Instagram DMs..Version: 1.0
✓ Where are the features?Cool app but the group feature as listed on the threads help site and the auto captions which work for my friends don’t work for me (and why aren’t captions in instagram?). So much potential but not having the group feature makes it a little pointless, may as well just use Facebook messenger. Once these features are available universally I’ll happily change my review..Version: 1.2.15
✓ Open it up to everyoneI don’t want to share my location with all my close friends and I definitely don’t want to message just my close friends, just open this up to all people we follow.Version: 1.0
✓ No subtitlesI think the subtitles is only for Americans, big disappointment as it’s the only reason I would download this app.Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ Bad bleepCan yall put the bleeping cuss words on here pls💀.Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ Terrible.My bf and I only text on instagram. I can now only get the notifications through threads. Where did my notifications go from Instagram. I’ve deleted the app and now Instagram wont send me notifications this app sucks. Do not recommend.Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ How to do video notesI want to do the censored video notes with captions but it never shows up when i do a video there’s no use for this app bye.Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ MAKE THE BLEEP THING AVAILABLE IN CANADAMAKE IT ARE TOU WELL GO TO HELL 😈.Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ Your momTiktok won’t work lmao.Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ Enjoying the app butI tried the app when I heard about it and I’m enjoying it so far. It’s smooth and not buggy, I haven’t been using the camera as much and I’ve read a couple reviews and found out that it’s been crashing so I would suggest you work on that. However I’m here because whenever I type something and accidentally leave the chat. Whatever I have typed would be deleted and I’ll have to retype everything again. As someone who moves to different apps all the time, it is very annoying to retype everything all over again just because I left the app and it has cleared what I typed. Hope you can work on this quickly..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Who’s going to use this?Unless you’re always updating your close friends list, or maybe wanna post something a little scandalous you don’t want your mom seeing, everything Threads is, is built into Instagram to begin with, and that’s where I see the app failing to take off. People want everything under one umbrella. So far Instagram has every major aspect of a successful social media app, and trying to off load the sharing aspect of social media to a whole separate app is just a bad idea. The camera sends whatever you snap directly to your close friends story, so you there’s no way to send anything to your main story. The whole point of this app is the close friends list. However, if for the very specific reason that you only want your close friends in one inbox, you’re going to love it, and it might make you value and use your close friends story..Version: 1.0.6
✓ DO NOT USE THIS APPI found out this app accesses your camera when you’re not in camera mode. I’m not sure if its a glitch, but this is definately a breach of security. It also messes with your notification when you get a message through. Awful app, Instagram. SORT IT!!!.Version: 1.2.19
✓ Missing many features! Quite buggy and out of date!Great app concept but the Threads version of messages is missing many functions. I’m not sure if this is a bug or an update. It’s missing the reply and react functions, when it was working just a few hours ago. The camera shortcuts function (select friends to be shortcuts during initial set up) only works if you also have the Instagram app on your phone. I have redownloaded this app several times and the functions are still not back. Please keep Threads updated alongside Instagram, or it’s essentially useless and extremely disappointing..Version: 1.2.41
✓ More than one vid at a time? And camera functionsLove the app but would be so much better if the camera had the same features as the original insta stories on the insta ap. like hands free options, recording up to 4 vids at a time. I just want to be able to caption my insane ramblings and it’s difficult to do that one vid at a time.Version: 1.2.18
✓ The New Update 👎🏽Before this last update it used to actually be amazing. Could post on your story and have your close friends stories at the top of the lists as well as view others stories and it almost felt like Snapchat but a bit more productive for those who use Instagram more. Now it pretty much is useless as I can’t even post onto my stories. Going onto the camera or trying to message anyone who isn’t automatically previewed is a headache and I can no longer view stories either so I’m not too sure what the intention was here but it’s gone from being a great app I could use without heavy reliance on Instagram to now an app that has no purpose even downloading. :(.Version: 2.0.2
✓ OkHavent used the app yet.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Needs hands free recordingNeeds hands free recording and needs to record for longer than 15 seconds! Give us at least a minute like Instagram does! Glad captions have finally been rolled out though..Version: 1.2.19
✓ Account switchingCan you make an option where i can switch accounts? i choose the wrong one and it’s pissing me off i can’t change it.Version: 1.2.19
✓ Horrible appStop taking me to threads every time I try to open a dm on instagram 😭 so out of the way and unnecessary.Version: 1.2.19
✓ BruhPlease fix the autostatus.Version: 1.2.4
✓ PointlessWhy?.Version: 1.0
✓ TerribleBring the cussing transcribing thing to canada lame.Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ New Design ❌I’m not enjoying the new layout at all. Missing the function of being able to see my message threads at a glance makes this app less useful to me. I liked the separation between the stories and messages, rather than having to do the press and hold function. Also, I am unable to view stories that I post myself, making it difficult to know if they actually were posted. I would roll back to the previous design if I could, please allow a choice as I’m almost ready to stop using it entirely..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Captioning videossThe captioning option doesn’t seem to appear for me. I have the iPhone 11 but I live in Canada. Is my location the reason why?.Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ Decent but would love these thingsFirst of all I am using this app to divert my attention away from my insta feed. I understand some people want the Threads features to be integrated into the original Insta App, but I believe this app should still attain the less distraction purpose. This app should include - adding selected people , not just your close friends group. There are some people that aren’t in my close friends group that I want to dm, but also some people in my close friends group that I don’t want to dm. So adding this select option would be great - integrate “category tabs”, like the general dms tab function from buisness accounts into this app. I like to prioritize some people over others. This function should also be added to the original Instagram app, I’d like to have at least three tabs for dms. - add insta features and effects, I like to send my friends filter effect pics. Other than that this app is great. I love the separated Dm environment..Version: 1.1.12
✓ Video graphyIts good app but want to know why its video graphy as iphones have function to let us know what apps are doing and its shows this app is using video camera even if we are not using camera ☹️☹️☹️.Version: 1.2.15
✓ Advice developers plz readSo the reason I am giving three stars is for two reasons. One, when you drag down the notifications, you are not given the option to write back, unlike Instagram, so I highly hope we can see this in the future and two it’s kind of unnecessary to be honest there’s not really and new features besides status but most people don’t even have the app that I DM so they can’t even check my status so yea.Version: 1.0.4
✓ Some features not availableThe app itself is what it says it is, and that’s great. However my problem is that some features aren’t available to some users because of their location. So my only feedback would be to expand on the list of countries or regions so that whoever actually has access to this app in the AppStore or wherever, would also have access to the very same features they downloaded the app for. I was really keen on trying out the transcribing audio, but again as we now know- it’s not available. And I can’t be using a VPN every time I want to transcribe a simple 15sec video. There’s no ease of use in that, and that should be one of the apps ultimate goals, if not all apps..Version: 1.2.19
✓ Cant switch accounts :(I like this app so I don’t have to use the explore page on Instagram but I wish we could switch between accounts easier than signing in and out each time :(.Version: 1.2.19
✓ Now pretty uselessNo longer able to search for people to message, no longer able to see a preview of the message, just why?.Version: 2.0.0
✓ Please fix annoying bugThere’s a bug where it constantly shows a notification that a group chat member sent a photo. Even though I’ve already opened and viewed all the photos sent, the notification won’t go away. I’ve tried deleting and re-downloading the app multiple times with no change. The Instagram app does not show this notification, so I know it must be a Threads problem then. Good app otherwise.Version: 1.2.22
✓ Disappointed.Walkie talkie doesn’t show up and it won’t transcribe anything, I have the updated version of the app so I don’t know why it’s doing this..Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ CanadaMake this available in canada or else im going to get every single canadian to review this a 1 star so it gets taken down 🥰.Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ I loved this app but the update…This app was helpful to stay in contact with friends. but, the new update is confusing and unpleasant to look at. the old layout was fine the way it was, i dont understand the change..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Will get your account blockedThis is the only app I’ve connected to my Instagram account and now I’m action blocked for a week for using “third party apps” literally right after connecting Threads. AVOID THIS APP!!!!.Version: 1.2.28
✓ Caption doesn’t workI just downloaded this after I saw it on bretman rock using it but after downloading it, the caption DOES’NT even work! & Bretman also said it too. So pls fix it.Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ Was great before updateMaybe I’m doing something wrong but literally the update has ruined this app, it doesn’t show stories for everyone just the people you’ve messaged recently and a few random others and you can’t change that. Think I’ll just have to download the Instagram app again..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Imported video changes orientationI love this app, the subs are pretty cool however, if I import a pre-recorded clip so I can transcribe it and share, as soon as I edit the text that has been transcribed or even when I add my own text to the clip the video shifts from a portrait clip to landscape and the subtitles remain in place. This is very frustrating.Version: 1.2.32
✓ Hm..If you’ve decided to depart from instagram and have an independent app, don’t you think the app should contain something innovative? If you are just providing all the same features available by your competitors, you should have just gone with the “direct” built in the instagram. You do realize there’re so many similar apps nowadays, people don’t want downloading 50 apps for the same features. At least if the apps are from the same company, why not put them all together nicely within a single app. Like, how many apps do you have already for a single purpose. This just seems like wanting to collect more data on people. You won’t beat the competitors like this, no...Version: 1.0
✓ Can’t send photosEvery time i try to send a photo so someone, it says that the message was not delivered and cannot be retried. this is really frustrating because i usually don’t save the photos so my message is just gone forever.Version: 1.2.19
✓ DuckI want to swear let me.Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ Photo chainsI wish the app would allow photo chains? I tend to do a lot of photo chains with my friends where I reply directly to their photos with the little camera button on the bottom right corner, however this feature isn’t on this app. It would be much more convenient if this feature could be added in?.Version: 1.1.10
✓ Tried it but it’s boring...I thought this will replace Tik Tok on my phone since there’s talk to ban it. I tried this now and nah...it’s boring and very narrow focused on Instagram only... reason for giving 1 star is because you copied but you didn’t innovate....Version: 1.2.3
✓ Just mergeJust merge this with Instagram. There’s no need for this app and I doubt anyone will truly use it (on its own) and switch between Instagram and threads to just message someone. The dm system is really good and overall, extremely attractive (except for the midnight mode, those red text are horrid for the eyes at night and it defeats the whole purpose of midnight). There’s no other texting app needed, a simple one at that. Sending photos with filters and it having different modes is nothing special but it will be special if you add it with Instagram because it makes the bundle better..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Why no reply option?A good effort, but why is there no option to reply to a photo via Threads?.Version: 1.0.4
✓ Make the notes available in Canada.I was so happy to find out there was an app the generated CC only to find out I can’t use it cause IM in Canada..Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ You can’t view Instagram stories via the app.You cannot view your friends Instagram stories via the threads app..Version: 1.0
✓ Captioning functionYou should be able to make videos longer than 15 seconds and you should have an option to toggle on and off the bleeping of swear words..Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ Please let me record for longerIv been using app for not very long but please let me record for like 1 minute like Instagram not 15 seconds !!!.Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ Kinda dumbI stg this app is sums I only downloaded it to use that bleep out filter and it’s not even in Canada 😐 disappointing, you can’t even message anyone you made a separate app that more or less is the same thing as Instagram but without the feed it’s so similar to other apps it just wasn’t needed, please just make it a better app and let Canadians have fun too ..Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ CanadaPlease let Canada also have subtitles when we record videos just like Americans do..Version: 1.2.18
✓ Potential.Its ok, i like the idea of it, if youre going to eventually get rid of dms entirely. but my main wish is that it worked with ALL of my dms and not just the close friends list. i hate getting multiple different notifications from different apps for my messages, it seems pointless and ends up more frustrating than helpful. i appreciate the dark modes, but we really dont need so many? just one dark and one gray would be fine, but other colored themes would be compelling as well..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Doesnt even let me log inEverytime i try to log in it gives me a random error.Version: 1.2.19
✓ No captions in Canada?Absolute garbage. I wanted it for captions..Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ Not necessaryWell it’s not a bad app and it doesn’t have bad ideas but I don’t think it should be a whole separate app. This is basically instagram DMs with extra steps. I really do like the status feature I think it’s cute, but that’s really the only good thing about this app. I downloaded it and stopped getting notifications from instagram it was really inconvenient. I wish instagram would just add the status feature to the regular instagram app cause downloading this app isn’t really worth it in my opinion..Version: 1.1.2
✓ UmThe main reason i downloaded this app is so i could make videos with the closed captions feature. it’s good and all that america has it, but in the UK it doesn’t have that feature, which is really annoying. so can you please put the closed caption feature for all countries for this app..Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ CAN’T SAVE!I really enjoy using the new captions mode. Once I have moved the text and changed some of the words, I press the save button. I waiting until the words saving have disappeared, and check my photos. The video never shows up. I can’t even send the video to others 😤..Version: 1.2.19
✓ ProblemsInstalled threads then changed my mind and uninstalled it,, now my Instagram app won’t alert me with pop ups or sounds of my message notifications anymore? Ik I turned on threads notifications for messages but I uninstalled it and now my insta is not sending me message notifs? And I don’t know how to fix it because of lack of features on the app? So please help if this happened to anyone also? (I did go in my settings and insta settings and the sounds and alerts for direct messages are on,, but it stopped working when I installed threads??) 😀✋.Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ Pointless and makes everything inconvenientI cannot get notifications on Instagram until I download threads. Okay, no big deal, I’ll download threads. But you can only have one account active on Threads, so now I can only have notifications on one of my accounts which is extremely inconvenient. Most people have more than one account. Please let us add other accounts. This is so pointless and brings unnecessary problems. There was no problems or need for improvement on instagrams regular messaging. Ever since this came out there have been pointless issues with notifications..Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ Bad and a ripoffBasically trying to copy Snapchat but only worse and lazier. I don’t see the point in this at all..Version: 1.1.21
✓ ThreadsWhile this app from instagram may have many features similar to Snapchat, it would be nice if they merged this app into Instagram. It’s to make it easier rather than switching constantly between two different apps. From personal experience, I found that after trying to text people, I’m still stuck on a loading screen no matter how many times I try to open and reload the app. That’s the only bug I’m experiencing..Version: 1.2.3
✓ It’s the lack of features for me 😒I know I’m late to the party and all, but dang, I don’t even know if this party was worth coming to. Auto-captioning works great (granted, I haven’t thrown any obnoxious words at it to try to figure out yet), but I want my video filters! Not the crazy face changing ones, just the whole camera/vibey ones. And you can’t change the font of the captioning like you can in your regular stories. If the captioning is really the only special thing you can do in this app - you can already private message a video to your friends in the main app, tf? - why not just make that a new feature IN THE MAIN APP? Y’all are taking up space on my phone for.......what exactly?.Version: 1.2.10
✓ Notifications brokenWhen I downloaded this app all of my message notifications from Instagram came from this app but when I deleted it I wasn’t getting notifications anymore so I have to download it if I want notifications again.Version: 1.2.19
✓ Few changes..I really love the app especially because it focuses on your close friends and I hate notifications. With this app I can completely turn off Instagram notifications while still getting notifications of my close friends from this app. It’s perfect! What I love to change is the fact that this app has less dm features to Instagram. I just find that funny because how come? I don’t get how we cannot reply to messages like we can on Instagram. Also, I really don’t get why you guys added “theme chat” feature on the Instagram dm but didn’t to Threads. Why wouldn’t you do the opposite? Please, would love to have the them chat feature on Threads. Cheers.Version: 1.2.13
✓ Censor filterI have been looking through the app to find the trendy “censor filter” that everybody is using on tiktok. But the sad thing is that it is only available in America and not in the uk (where I currently am). So if you are from the uk trying to find the “censor thing” it is not on the app but I would really appreciate it if they would add that!.Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ PUT STORIES BACKThe whole reason I got this app was to stay away from Explore Feed and regular feed on Instagram and only connect with friends, but I can only receive messages from close friends (can't add groups from my Instagram DMs, and most importantly I loved being able to catch up on my friends' stories but you took that away!! Who does that?? App is now essentially worthless unless someone wants to send me a DM directly and I can't see my groups from insta cause they're not all close friends. So stupid. So bummed - I was so excited to replace Instagram with this app..Version: 1.2.11
✓ Video Note FeautureThe video note feature is no where to be found. I seen other videos showing how to, but my whole app lay out is different. It doesn’t let me transcribe audio to make captions in my videos. That’s the only reason I downloaded the app. I have a iPhone Xs with iOS 14.2 so I don’t see what’s the problem here. I have friends which it all worked for them so why me?!. One star rating for sure..Version: 1.2.17
✓ Nagging notification every time the app opensI use Threads as an alternative to the Instagram app, since I want to reduce my usage without fully disconnecting from Instagram. I also have major privacy concerns about the whole Facebook system. For that reason, I only allow the Threads app access to selected photos rather than my entire photo library. Every time I open the app, a notification comes up asking me to allow the app to access all my photos, and I can’t proceed without answering the notification. This is annoying, and it’s completely unnecessary since I don’t want the app to access all my photos which is why I didn’t allow it to in the first place. Removing this feature (and all the other ways Facebook’s apps try to encroach on user privacy) would drastically improve my experience as a user.Version: 1.2.23
✓ Great great appUpdate: can’t post to my story any more!! somewhat buggy with the camera and i wish i could hide stories from my non close friends, but this has been a great help for my mental health Also- the stories from threads are really bad quality compared to the normal app. Would be great if this could be improved.Version: 2.0.2
✓ GET SWEAR BLUR IN CANADAMan this ain’t fair.Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ Super LaggyIt’s a good app when it works but every single time I open it it freezes for over a minute and it’s very frustrating. Despite the numerous big fix updates nothing has been fixed about this yet..Version: 1.2.43
✓ Some upgrades you should addI like the threads but you should make it longer to write in. After I think 24 hrs it goes away and I would like to have the feature that It doesn’t go away. When a close friend sends a message, it pops up like normal but form the app not instagram. A friend would send me a message and when I click on the message it brings me to the thread app(even when I have Instagram open). If these where different I would enjoy it a bit more but overall I do like having a thread in my bio..Version: 1.2.15
✓ App Crashes While Using Filters.It’s definitely the best app to connect to your best friends. Even better than other apps I should say. But I have trouble dealing with filters, whenever I click a picture on any one the filters the app crashes and even the picture it clicks moves the focus and captures something else. It’s gonna be a great experience using the app once this is fixed. Other than this GREAT Work Guys I finally have a app wherein I can connect all my besties in sync with Instagram and rather not rely on a third party app. Thanks Guys..Version: 1.1.11
✓ Caption colours?Love the ability to record stories with closed captioning but at the very least please add a black colour option for people recording in lighter settings or with a white background! Thanks!.Version: 1.2.20
✓ More AccountsI love the fact this app allows us to separate our DM’s from Instagram. However I feel it’s missing the ability to switch accounts like you can on Instagram. As for someone who owns a few Instagram accounts, it would be nice to be able to switch accounts on thread and be able to see my dm’s easily without having to log out or use Instagram..Version: 1.2.18
✓ Not useful unless you’ve thousands followersIt’s basically a snapchat for close friends. And some features don’t work (e.g. CC generating). I had it and now it disappeared. My Instagram also disappeared on one of my accounts (personal, I have two). I’m also extremely unhappy with their support, no one ever responds..Version: 1.2.23
✓ Messenger for InstagramI’m very happy this app has been made. I’m trying to spend less time on IG but I rely on the DM service to keep up w friends. That this allows me to see their Stories is really a good middle ground. I like that the alert is not the default iPhone chirp. In a future update please make account switching as simple as it in with IG. Add the full Story creator too, filters, create, etc.. a real contender to snapchat would be awesome. Most of my friends only use Story so this is really an app I would use more than IG itself. For people sad it’s only close friends.. just add everyone to your list!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Amazing App! but...Lately when I try to open threads, it doesn’t work. It just has a black screen and nothing is loading.. does anyone else have this problem? If so do you know how to fix it ._..Version: 1.1.23
✓ I SHOULDN’T NEED A SEPARATE APP FOR THISMy sentiments echo that of several others. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous to have to download this. These features do not seem too complicated to put in the actual Instagram app. It’s bad enough that no one asked for the changed layout within the app. People don’t like it but we’re all getting used to it because we don’t expect you to change it back out of fear of embarrassment. We get it... Next time release a Beta version and let people try it out and review it..Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ Okay, but, why?Threads is a lot like Facebook Messenger, but without the games. You can messsage people and send pictures. These functions are available in the regular Instagram app, though, so what’s the point of Threads? There are also no filters. So the camera can get really boring really quickly if, like me, you don’t have much to send. I like the idea of themes, but the options currently available are very limited, and there isn’t a “custom” option. I don’t get what the point of this app is, but it just launched. Maybe after a few updates the purpose of the app will become evident..Version: 1.0
✓ Angry canadianInstagram y do u hate Canada so much, first the Instagram music feature was only available in the US now the bleep feature on ig 😐 fix this now pls.Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ Half the time it worksWorked great until about a week ago, now I have tried several times to get a few different videos to caption and for whatever reason it turns the video from upright to sideways (and cuts off half the video) when trying to add captions and I cannot fix it no matter how many times I will re-save a video and try it again. The length of the video does not seem to matter, it’s happened both with 30 second and 15 second videos. Also if music is playing and I try to record it tends to freeze and blur the screen. If I hit the button to record again it stays frozen to the screen but will record a video...I just can’t see it until I’m done. If it doesn’t do that then the whole app freezes and I have to close it and try again. If they can fix these ASAP the app would be much better..Version: 1.2.19
✓ Is it THAT difficult to make a landscape mode for ipad??Honestly baffles me that apps like this cant simply rotate to work on ipad. I dont even care that the app is just a zoomed in, blurry version of the iPhone app, just at least allow it to rotate!.Version: 2.0.0
✓ Wrong locationRandomly the app will say that my location is in Ecuador when I am no where close to that. My friends will ask me about it as well. Does this mean someone else is logged into my account?.Version: 1.2.26
✓ Canadian strugglesSo i’m canadian and i want the censored word thing rn istfg make it available in canada, america isn’t the main character 🙄.Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ Walkie talkie button?Really good app but I’ve noticed I don’t have the walkie talkie button where I know most people have don’t know if it’s because I live in the uk but I hope it gets fixed.Version: 1.2.19
✓ I Don’t Get It?What is the point of this app? No, like seriously. Developers - take a step back - use the damn thing. What is the point? It offers messaging, but even more crippled than the regular Instagram application by only offering your ‘Close Friends’. Why would anyone download this over using the application they already have? And while the ‘Automatic Status’ is kinda cool, it didn’t allow me to turn it on as I was not presented with the option for my location in the background, like the app instructed me to select. Besides that, we have the entirely useless camera feature - which looks like Instagram’s devs tried their hardest to create a skeleton of Snapchat. It is pretty much useless and can be achieved in the main Instagram app, without a seperate app for it. So all-in-all, we have messaging (which can be done in the main app), statuses (which are useless if nobody uses the app anyways, and should be integrated into regular Instagram), and Camera (which is featureless and practically already part of the main app). Nobody is going to download anything they do not need to - and this app is the perfect example of that. Limiting it to the barely-used ‘close friends’ feature is 100 degrees of backwards thinking, as it limits the amount of social interactivity available in the app. People love Snapchat and Instagram because it allows them to see the lives of people who aren’t their close friends. This app is niche enough, why make it worse? Who will use this? People who only desire to be in contact with just their closest friends in a way that could be already achieved with the app they already have? What? I don’t get it. It’s time to re-evaluate the core purpose of the app. This ain’t it chief..Version: 1.0
✓ Utterly pointless, redundant waste of spaceVery much like Facebook to develop yet another app that does the same thing in a slightly different interface. There are no significant features on this app that aren’t in the existing instagram app/DMs, the features like themes and statuses could be brought over to Instagram but it seems like Facebook would rather have an incentive for people to install an app that tracks your location constantly. Don’t enable this feature unless you want Facebook selling your location data to companies..Version: 1.1.1
✓ 2 starts to be nice.Disliked it just another version of Instagram that works more with close friends, it’s also quite stupid how the button on the side which transcribes the audio on text only works in the US it’d just be fine if you added buttons/filters worldwide maybe you’d get a nice review from me..Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ Cc featureWhere is the close caption feature for iPhone XS?.Version: 1.2.19
✓ Please add thisCan you please add highlights and Instagram stickers and a follow back option it would be great and will make this app even better but I must say this app is great🦋.Version: 1.0.8
✓ Auto-Caption/long videosPlease allow the app to upload more than just 15 seconds to our story ;/ I want to start using auto caption for a business i work for, and we normally just record a whole video and upload to our story. However, though threads will auto caption the entire video (let’s say, a 45 second vid), it will only POST the first 15 seconds to the story. Even if i send the story to an individual, they only see the first 15 seconds. it is a hassle to break up our videos perfectly into 15 seconds just to close caption it. why not offer this in the main app for accessibility???? i have deaf family members who would LOVE this to be a common thing. also WHY is the camera button so far?? the three people it “recommends” i don’t even EVER message them??? i always accidentally click their film button instead of the regular camera and it tries to send to them.Version: 1.2.33
✓ Why only close friends!??I have group chats on insta that I can’t have on the app. Please update the app so we can message everyone, not just close friends.🙏.Version: 1.0
✓ I’m not sure what this app aims to beI initially downloaded threads because it felt like a nice respite away from the toxic and addictive parts of instagram: - the feed - endless clicking through stories of people who i follow. i loved how it was centered around close friends, but now it seems like some of the “regular” friends aspect of instagram is creeping into it. was really bummed to see how stories were auto playing between users (i.e, i watch one persons story and suddenly it clicks to the next user). is it more convenient? sure, but it also slips back into the attention economy issue that plagues all social media. i’d rather be very intentional about whose stories i’m watching. would be nice to be able to customize threads: - have the option to hide ALL stories from non close friends - no message counters for non close friends - ability to choose whether stories automatically move to the next user..Version: 1.2.30
✓ Removed the abilities to see and add storiesGreat update being able to message everyone but removed the ability to watch other people’s stories in the top bar is rubbish . The view profile doesn’t work either when you’re on someone’s profile you haven’t spoken to.Version: 2.0.0
✓ FiltersI pretty much only use Instagram messaging for the filters you can use but you can’t use them on this app. Bring the filters over from the main app and it would be much better.Version: 1.0
✓ It disappersI really love this! But i used it for a few times but now when I set a status, i doesn’t show. I tried check from my other acc and asking from my friend if it shows up but it doesn’t. I even deleted the app and tried but still it won’t show up. When i change it, it shows up for 0.1 second then it doesn’t show up at all until i change the status..Version: 1.1.6
✓ No automatic subtitlesThe main reason I got this app is because I saw everyone on tiktok saying it’ll do the subtitle but in the uk it doesn’t show up with that option.Version: 1.2.17.1
✓ Tik Tok trend failChile did y’all remove the walkie-talkie option for captions??.Version: 1.2.17.1
