Ever wish your Instagram besties were just a simple message away?
Threads appears to be the ideal solution: a fast, private messaging software made for your most intimate group.
While there is no magic "transfer followers" button, we have a subtle way to grow your Threads family using your existing Instagram following.
3 Methods to Transfer Followers from Instagram to Threads
Threads app allows you to invite friends, but you cannot move a large amount of followers. You can invite and add friends to Threads through the following:
- Follow Accounts on Instagram
This is the most straightforward approach to expanding your Threads circle of friends. To do so, tap the first choice.
If you wish to follow the same profiles you do on Instagram, simply scroll down and select "Follow all."
If not, you can go through the list and select the accounts you want to follow one by one, then touch the "Follow" button.
You can also cancel your follow-up request by hitting the following icon again.
- Invite Friends via WhatsApp
You can ask your friends to join you on Threads via WhatsApp. You have to follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Go to your Threads profile by clicking your profile icon present in the lower right corner of the screen.
Step 2: Now press the two-line menu symbol present in the top right corner of the screen to access the settings menu.
Step 3: Now, go to "Follow and invite friends" and select "Invite friends by WhatsApp" from the menu.
Step 4: It’ll generate a link to your profile that you can send to your contacts or post in your "Status" to get your followers.
- Invite Friends via SMS and Email
In addition to WhatsApp, Threads allows you to share your Threads profile via SMS and email. The process is the same as for WhatsApp. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Go to your Threads profile by clicking your profile icon present in the lower right corner of the screen.
Step 2: Now press the two-line menu symbol present in the top right corner of the screen to access the settings menu.
Step 3: Now, go to "Follow and invite friends" and select "Invite friends by Email" from the menu, if you want to get them via Email.
And if you want to send your profile link via SMS, select "Invite friends by SMS."
Step 4: It’ll generate a link to your profile that you can send to your contacts via SMS or embed the link in your "Email" to get your followers.
While it is not currently possible to move an extensive Instagram following to Threads, you can establish your close circle on the new network by inviting trustworthy friends.
However, navigating the social media world carries obvious security dangers.
