Text and links
- Captions: up to 500 characters.
- Links: up to 5 in one post. Threads refuses a post with more, and the composer tells you how many to remove before you publish.
Photos and video
One post takes up to 10 photos or videos. Video on Threads can run up to 5 minutes and 1 GB per file.
Topic tag
A topic tag files the post under one topic on Threads. It must be 1 to 50 characters, with no periods and no ampersands, and a post carries one tag. The composer removes periods and ampersands as you type, so the tag you see is the tag that goes out.
