It turns out calling the app "Threads by Instagram" is not just a branding gimmick. The Instagram backend was always Python/Django since before the acquisition.


That's pretty interesting, I wonder if that means that it's build by a team at Instagram, and not Facebook. I'd assume so.

I get that Facebook is still a huge success, but I do find it telling that they opted to put Threads under Instagram, rather than Facebook.


I think its pretty obvious they went with Instagram branding, as Facebook branding has been tarnished for a while.


I'm confused.

It's Facebook by Meta. Instagram by Meta. Why isn't it Threads by Meta?


Tied to ig account.


Threads by Instagram by Meta ... TIM for short.
