Threads works "adjacent" to Instagram, as the users need to have an Instagram account and use the same name.[4] When Elon Musk bought Twitter in 2022, the workers of Meta talked about the creation of "Instagram Notes", a text-based feature of Instagram. They also talked about creating a separate and text-focused app, that gave a rise to the idea of creation of Threads.[5]
