Instagram also revealed new details on the app, which will be open source and support text, photos, and video.
As expected, Threads will be connected to users Instagram accounts, allowing for easy connections to followers, public figures or brands. The text posts will be limited to 500 characters.
Instagram says accounts will be private by default, with a main feed comprised of accounts you follow and suggested content from creators you perhaps haven’t discovered yet. Threads can be posted to Instagram stories, or shared via a link. Threads will launch in more than 100 countries, with apps for iOS and Android, with plans to roll out new features like an enhanced recommendation engine and search functionality over time.
Perhaps most notable is Instagram’s goal to make Threads compatible with ActivityPub, the open social networking protocol established by the World Wide Web Consortium. If that happens, Threads would be interoperable with other apps that support the ActivityPub protocol, including another Twitter competitor, Mastodon, and WordPress.
“Our vision is that people using compatible apps will be able to follow and interact with people on Threads without having a Threads account, and vice versa, ushering in a new era of diverse and interconnected networks,” the company wrote in a blog post.
