Instagram has rolled out an update to its Threads app

Instagram has rolled out an update to the thread app. The new app allows you to message any Instagram user. I am sad. As planet earth’s only user of thread, I is sad..

Some 220,000 people were using Instagram’s threads app as of last year. That’s less than 0.1 percent of Instagram’s monthly active users. It essentially takes some stuff you can already do with Instagram and asks you to do it on a different app.

The app infers what you’re doing based on your phone’s location and activity. Users can send any close friend a photo or video with the click of a single button, on the home screen, through an interface eerily similar to that of Snapchat.

Facebook recently launched cross-platform messaging on Instagram and Messenger. The company says that cross-platform messaging wo n’t be enabled for threads.

The app still separates your DMs into tabs for’close friends’ and’everyone else’. Notifications are only enabled for close friends by default, though you can change that.

Instagram threads app has basically become the direct app. The latest update allows messages with anyone, not just close friends pic.twitter.com/5jwgdhlejddddddd.

The update is a change to the philosophy of thread. Without that philosophy behind it, thread only contained those people. It’s not sure what makes threads unique.
