How to fix Threads not working
Threads is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach threads.net over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Force quit Threads
Swipe the app card away in your recent apps view, then open Threads again. This clears a stuck feed or a reply that will not send. Force quit does not log you out.
Update Threads
Open the App Store or Google Play, then install any pending update for Threads. An old build can fail to load replies or post after the service changes something on its end. If no update is listed, skip this step.
Sign out of Threads
In the app, go to your profile, tap the menu icon at the top right, open Settings, then choose Account and Log out. Sign back in with the same method you used before. A broken session can block posting and loading, and this rebuilds it.
Reinstall Threads
Delete the app from your home screen or app drawer, then install it again from the App Store or Google Play. This removes the local copy and any cached data. You will need to sign in again.
While Threads is down: what to use instead
- Instagram Use it when you want to share updates with photos, Stories, or short videos.
- Bluesky Try it for text posts and public conversations while the app is unavailable.
- Mastodon Choose it for community-based discussions across independent servers.
- X Use it for short public updates, replies, and live event conversations.

What happens when Threads goes down
Threads is a text-based social app from Instagram where people post short updates and reply to each other. When it goes down, your home feed stops loading and new posts or replies fail to send, which interrupts casual scrolling and the work of creators who use the app to talk with their audience.
During an outage, the home feed usually stalls first: pull to refresh spins and older posts stay in place. Posting and replying often hang next, and direct messages can sit unsent with a retry option that does nothing until service returns. Problems are frequently partial, so you might load your feed on Wi-Fi while a friend on mobile data sees the same failure; regional clusters are common because reports depend on where people are and which network they use. If the trouble lasts, check the help centre at https://help.threads.net/ for login or account access questions, but this page only counts user problem reports above their usual level and does not test the service itself.

How we track Threads
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Threads, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Threads, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Threads doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
