Instagram’s Threads started out as a camera-centric app for staying in touch with your close friends but eventually evolved to let you message everyone on the platform. The Facebook-owned company is now rolling out a redesigned version of Threads that introduces a new Status tab in the bottom navigation bar among other changes.
If you’re not a huge fan of the recent Messenger-Instagram Direct integration that brings a lot of fancy features such as selfie stickers, chat themes, message reactions, and vanish mode, Threads is your friend. It offers a clean layout, comes with elegant themes & snazzy animations, and is arguably the best way to take a break from Instagram without really losing touch with your friends and loved ones.
