While most features mimic those of Twitter, its user interface design resembles Instagram’s, with the same heart, comment and share buttons and similarly placed tabs.
Once logged in, new users will arrive with the same usernames and bios as their Instagram accounts. Verified Instagram users will take their check marks to Threads, as well. Users can then choose to follow in bulk all accounts they already follow on Instagram, which includes pre-following anyone who has not yet joined Threads.
Others on the app as of Wednesday's launch included Jennifer Lopez and Tom Brady, as well as brands like HBO and publishers like Teen Vogue.
