How to Install Threads on Your Windows Desktop ๐งต
It's quite a bit of work but you can get Threads to work on Windows.
The article from Wired provides a step-by-step guide on how to install Meta's new social app, Threads, on a Windows desktop. Here's a summary:
Prerequisites: Ensure you have Windows 11 installed with the latest updates. Also, make sure Microsoft supports Amazon Appstore in your country or region.
Install Amazon Appstore/Windows Subsystem for Android: Open the Microsoft Store and search for Amazon Appstore. Click Install or Get to begin the download. Follow the setup process, allow the necessary permissions, and restart your computer. After the restart, your PC will automatically begin installing the Windows Subsystem for Android. You can find Windows Subsystem for Android in your Start menu. Open it and select Advanced settings on the left, then toggle the Developer mode slider to the right.
Download the Threads APK: Download the Threads APK from a reliable source like APKMirror.
Install WSATools: Open the Microsoft Store and search for WSATools. Install it.
Install Threads: Open WSATools from your Start menu. Click Install an APK. This will prompt you to install the ADB if it's missing. Select or make a folder to install it into. Once thatโs done, youโll get another prompt to find your file. Go to your Downloads folder and select the downloaded Threads APK. Click Install when it shows the Threads icon and information. If it asks for permission for ADB Debugging, click yes. If this doesnโt work, or it says it canโt access the WSA, restarting your machine to try again will do the trick.
After these steps, Threads should now be available in your Start menu. You can open Threads on your Windows 11 PC with the same ease as Microsoftโs Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram Windows apps.
