Does OneUp support the new "Threads by Instagram" app?

Yes, OneUp supports the new "Threads" by Instagram social network 😊

However, Threads does not have an API yet, so that means the only way to schedule posts to Threads is via mobile notifications 👈👈👈 VERY IMPORTANT


So when you schedule a Threads post with OneUp, OneUp's mobile app will send you a notification each time your scheduled Threads post is ready to be published.

NOTE: As soon as Threads releases an API for posting directly to Threads, OneUp will support direct posting to Threads, but unfortunately only posting via mobile notifications is possible at this time.


You can download the OneUp app for iPhone here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/oneup-social-media-scheduler/id1533692450

You can download the OneUp app for Android here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oneupmobile

TIP: It should be the first app if you search "OneUp social media" in either the App Store or Play Store


How to connect a Threads account



On the Accounts page of OneUp, click the Threads Connect button:




After connecting your Threads account, you must download AND login to the OneUp mobile app (logging in with the same email and password as your main OneUp account), and allow notifications (otherwise you will not receive reminders).

How do Threads notifications work?



You'll receive a push notification on your phone at the time you scheduled the post for.

Note: Please make sure you have allowed notifications from the OneUp mobile app. If you did not allow notifications when you first logged into the OneUp mobile app, you can allow them by following the steps here.

Tap the notification, and it will open your post in the OneUp mobile app:





Tap "Share this on Threads", and your post caption will automatically be copied. Then just select the Threads app here:




Then you are ready to paste in your caption. Tap in the caption box and you will get a "Paste" option.




Your caption was automatically copied to your phone previously, so you just need to paste it in:



You are now ready to share your Threads post! 😊

TIP: If you miss a notification, you can find all your recent notifications in the Notification History tab in the mobile app.


NOTE: Please make sure you are logged into the Threads app on the same device that you are receiving the notification from OneUp.
