A basic Twitter user can tweet up to 280 characters, which can be expanded if subscribed to Twitter Blue. Meanwhile, a Threads user is allowed to post with a maximum of 500 characters.

Another notable difference is in terms of posting photos and videos. Twitter limits this to four photos or four videos in a tweet, while Threads allows up to 10 photos and videos combined in a single post.

Threads is currently ranked 1 among social networking apps on App Store.
