Is threads just twitter

Since Twitter got less user-friendly after Elon Musk took it over, this new platform of Mark Zuckerberg can be like breathing fresh air after a while. The truth is that all the issues that were happening with Twitter actually opened space for a new product and Zuckerberg used this opportunity wisely. Some techies also call this app a ‘Twitter Killer’. As this is a platform for smooth public conversations, which is what Twitter has been doing all these years so we cannot say that this app is not a ‘Twitter Killer’, and once you sign in you will find it very similar to Twitter.

Key differences between twitter and threads

Currently, threads are only available for Android and iOS devices, which means you can only use Threads on smartphones and tablets and can’t use it on PCs but Twitter has no such restrictions. Meta promised a 500-character limit for threads but on Twitter’s character limit is 280 words. In threads, users can upload five-minute videos with limited options while Twitter has personalized recommendations and trending topics on its home page.
