Threads is a dedicated text-based messaging app developed by Meta that allows us to engage in more personal conversations with close friends and individuals. Threads will follow the same terms of service as Instagram since they are both under Meta. This means that users over the age of 13 can use the app. To ensure safety for younger users, it is encouraged that parents and guardians monitor Threads activity. Meta has also specified that Instagram accounts registered to users under the age of 13 will have their accounts automatically set to private.
