YOGYAKARTA The Threads application made by Meta, which is very similar to Twitter, has been launched in 100 countries, including Indonesia. Threads allows its implementers to create real-time online conversation spaces, a function that has long been the selling value of Twitter. So, what are the differences of Threads and Twitter?

Through the Threads application, users can retweet other people's text uploads by clicking Repost and creating a tweet thread with the available options.

This application is also equipped with a counter feature that shows the number of likes and replies that a post has received. The ability to share direct posts to Instagram Stories is also offered by Threads.

Verified Instagram accounts are also automatically verified on Threads and can be set as public or private. In the new app, users can upload videos for up to five minutes and can be shared as links on other platforms.

Users can also stop following, block, limit, and report other people and filter replies with certain words in it.

messages posted to Threads will have a limit of 500 characters, while Twitter only has 280 characters. If users want to upload a long tweet, they have to pay for it through the Twitter Blue service whose character text reaches 25 thousand.

The display of the Threads interface does not show the number of people being followed (following) by other users on their profile. If you're on an absorption, you can open a profile, click the number of followers (followers), then slide to the right to see the following tab.

This is different from Twitter, which has a live interface showing off the number of followers and following side by side.

Verified accounts on Instagram will automatically get a blue tick in Threads. This is because Threads are directly connected to Instagram. Threads users are required to have an Instagram account to be able to start using the application.

Meanwhile, to get a blue tick on Twitter, users need to subscribe to Twitter Blue.

Twitter users can easily view trending topics. This is because Twitter has the Trends For You feature.

This feature was not found in Threads. This may be because Threads are not yet available for desktop access.
