Today is the day. Threads de Meta has arrived in Spain, is the great alternative to Elon Musk’s Twitter during low hours. Will it be the new trend?
How can you make an account to check it? It’s really simple. The EU forced Meta to make its Threads app allow you to enter without creating a profile in it, so to use it, you really don’t even have to have an account.

Now, using Threads without a profile also means that your Instagram information won’t be used in Threads for ads. You will be able to access public content in Threads, share links and report content, but you will not be able to interact or follow profiles.
The other option is connect your Threads account with your Instagram account. You can do it here. This way, you will be able to create a profile and publish content on the new social network.
