Navigating Your Threads Profile

When you’re on the web version of your Threads profile, you’ll notice several options. You can navigate using three tabs—Threads, Replies, and Reposts. These tabs organize your posts into different categories: your own thread posts, your replies on others’ threads, and the threads you’ve reposted. By selecting any of these tabs, you can view that particular type of post.

Moreover, selecting your number of followers allows you to see who follows you and whom you follow. Additionally, clicking on the Instagram icon enables you to visit your Instagram profile.

The Home Feed and Interacting with Others Threads

On the Home feed page, you’ll find two primary features at your disposal: a toggle button for changing your feed view and the “Start a thread…” option.
