Open the Apple App Store on your iPhone
Select Install and finish installing the app.
Those with an Instagram account will find the registration process particularly simple, as the profiles of each platform are linked. Meta app users who open Instagram-adjacent threads today won’t be prompted to create a different Instagram account, or even switch accounts, simply to switch apps. The new app’s built-in connection makes the process of configuring Thread as simple as possible. It is not necessary to create a new account. Instead, you can keep your Instagram username, Instagram handle, bio, and public profile picture.
Some users report that searching for the actual name Meta Threads or just Threads still doesn’t show the actual threads app. Instead, users are directed to a different app called Threads, published by Threads Group, Inc who quickly added a disclaimer on their download page that reads [NOT AFFILIATED WITH THREADS BY INSTAGRAM].
On Android devices (e.g. most smartphones and tablets excluding iPhones and iPads) the Google Play Store is pre-installed.
First, open the Play Store app.
We have reports that searching for the much more intuitive term Meta Thread or simply Thread brings up an entirely different download titled Threads (Early Access) posted by the Threads Android Team. That will likely change after the Play Store quickly recognizes Meta’s latest app as the most popular new download of that name, but for now, the Threads Android team has added a disclaimer that reads [NOT AFFILIATED W/ THREADS BY INSTAGRAM].
Frequent questions
Is Thread on iOS?
Yes, Threads is available for iOS devices. You can download it now from the Apple App Store.
Is it Thread on Android?
Yes, Threads is available for Android devices. You can download it now on Android Play Store.
Final thoughts
I can only imagine the panic of Threads Android Team and Threads Group, Inc (which appear to be the same organization, under different names between App Store and Play Store) this morning as over 100,000 new users downloaded their app hoping for something else. Will the disclaimer, where they couldn’t be bothered to type the word, be enough to appease Meta Inc’s lawyers? Thankfully, that’s not your problem, your problem, if I’ve done my job, has been solved! Here’s how and where you download the app.
