Mark Zuckerburg’s Threads, an Instagram app is here to compete directly with Twitter. The platform lets you do everything that Twitter allows you to do except for the option to automatically post your account and also the option to send messages to other people via direct messages. As of now, the platform has only the most basic features. We do hope to see the platform bring in some monumental features as the number of users increases on Threads.

As it is with a lot of apps and games, a beta version of the app will let you try out certain new features which based on user feedback will be released or canceled for the main global version of the Threads app. Here is our guide on how you can join the Beta version of the Threads app on your Android smartphone.

How To Join Threads Beta On Android

While it’s always great to test out and try new features of the app before it releases globally to all users, you should note the following points in mind:

  • The beta version of the app can contain some sort of bugs. This is to be expected.
  • The beta version of the app will receive updates more frequently as compared to the regular release of the app.
  • You can expect the app to crash and fail to launch regularly. Only if you’re fine with this, do join the beta version.
  • Features that you see in the beta version may or may not make it to the final version of the app.

Now that you have the important points in mind, let’s take a look at how you can join the beta version of the Threads app on your Android device.
