        Tips for writing Threads copy

        • 500 characters is enough for a short paragraph - use it instead of splitting into a thread.
        • The first two lines decide whether people tap More.
        • Your Threads bio mirrors your Instagram bio at 150 characters.
        • Links count in full, so a long URL can eat a fifth of the budget.
