How to Install Threads on Windows 11

This article explains installing the Threads app from Meta on Windows 11.

The Threads app is a standalone app similar in functionality to X (formerly known as Twitter), which is designed for sharing photos and videos with your connected friends.

While Twitter is a social media platform that allows users to post tweets, follow other users, and engage in public conversations, Threads is a more private and intimate platform, allowing you to connect with a smaller group and share personal moments.

Initially, the platform was exclusively accessible on mobile devices. However, Windows users now have the option to install it on their computers. This is a Progressive Web App (PWA), essentially the web version of Threads housed within an application frame.
