Threads aims to provide a text-based, real-time conversation platform with a focus on visual content, while Twitter offers a broader microblogging experience with direct messaging capabilities.Focus: Threads is primarily focused on real-time updates and public conversations, whereas Twitter serves as a microblogging platform where users can share thoughts, news, and updates in short messages.Visual content: While both platforms allow users to post text-based messages, Threads is an extension of Instagram and allows users to post photos and videos as well. Twitter, on the other hand, primarily focuses on text-based posts with limited support for images and videos.Direct messaging: Threads does not currently support direct messaging, which is a key feature of Twitter. Twitter users can engage in private conversations through direct messages, while Threads is more focused on public conversations.Account integration: Threads is closely integrated with Instagram, requiring users to have an Instagram account in order to sign up. Users can import their Instagram followers and follow the same accounts on Threads. Twitter, on the other hand, operates as a standalone platform.Character limit: Threads allows posts of up to 500 characters, which is significantly more than Twitter's 280-character limit. This provides users with more space to express themselves in each post on Threads.Data privacy: Threads has raised some data privacy concerns due to the extensive personal information it could collect, as highlighted in its data privacy disclosure. Twitter has its own data privacy policies and practices</blockquote>
