How Threads usernames work
Threads usernames must follow Instagram-style rules. Check the format here first, then open the profile URL on Threads to confirm availability.
Usernames are 1 to 30 characters
Threads usernames can be short brand handles or longer names. Stay within 1 to 30 characters.
Only letters, numbers, periods, and underscores
Spaces, symbols, and other special characters are not allowed.
No consecutive or edge periods
A username cannot start or end with a period, and it cannot contain two periods in a row.
Confirm availability on Threads
Open threads.net/@username. If a profile loads, the name is taken. If Threads says it could not find the account, the username is likely free.
Frequently asked questions
