Instagram stories have become very important in the application. For some users, even more than the publications themselves. So Facebook, in light of that, is thinking of taking it a step further. And that is intended to do with Threads.
It is not known if in the end the project will be carried out or not, but the idea does not look bad. Threads is an application that will bring together Instagram stories and direct messages in a single application, thus creating a similar operation to Snapchat.
Threads. The new Instagram app
This new app would be designed to be complementary to Instagram and it will use the same account you already have.
In the application as we have said you could see them stories of your friends and girlfriends, answer them and chat with them. Especially your best friends.
You will see the active users with a green circle (if they want) and you will be able to see and upload stories from there, at least send them to your best friends. The stories or messages will also be seen on Instagram, without the need for Threads.
Broadly speaking, the idea is to have the stories in a different application, but maintaining the functionalities of the original app, so it will not be mandatory to have it, or so we think. But the idea is similar to Facebook Messenger.
But that is not all that Threads wants to offer, and it also wants to contribute something that you would not have in the Instagram app itself.
Share information with your best friends
But the main interest of this app is share information with your best instagram friends.
It will be done automatically, and will share things like location or speed. Of course, not one hundred percent accurate if you don't want to. You can notify your friends that you are moving. Respecting your privacy a little more.
Anyway this is for Best friends. The number of best friends you have selected in the popular photography social network depends on the user. But you may give this option a second life through this new app.
Business launch event
What we do not know is whether the project will finally be approved and launched. As far as is known they are testing it with Facebook and that afterwards it will be decided whether the project goes ahead or not.
And you do you think? Do you think it is a good idea? Would you download and install this app on your mobile with Instagram already downloaded? Leave us your opinion on what you think in the comments!
