Like most of my social media feeds, my Threads feed is also full of cat videos. When I see one I like, I sometimes download the video to watch later. As you may know, Threads doesn't support media downloads, which means that you'll need to rely on third-party tools to download videos from the app. You can try Threads Downloader on Android, or the Threads Download shortcut on iPhone. Using the Android app is simple enough: Just copy the Threads link and paste it in the app. On the iPhone however, you'll have to download two other free apps: a-Shell mini and Scriptable to let the shortcut do its thing. After the shortcut is set up, you can hold the share button under any Threads post, and select the "Threads Download" shortcut from the share sheet to start the download.
Use the Tweetdeck style multi-column layout on desktop

Luckily, you can easily change the default feed to posts from only people you follow. To do this, open the Threads app on your phone, and tap the two-lines button in the top-left corner. Press the pencil icon, drag Following to the top, and select Done. This will show posts from people you follow whenever you open Threads.
Create custom feeds to focus on specific topics
If your account is public, Threads automatically suggests some of your posts to people on Instagram and Facebook. I think this kind of a feature is great for brands and influencers, but not so much for people who'd rather not share their ramblings on Threads with friends and family on other platforms. You can turn this off by going to a page buried in the app's settings. Tap the profile icon in the bottom-right corner of the app, then select the two-line menu in the top-right corner of the profile page. Next, go to Privacy > Suggesting posts on other apps and turn it off for both Instagram and Facebook.
Block some Threads notifications without disabling all alerts
Sending countless junk notifications is par for the course for any app owned by Meta. I've countered this problem by disabling all notifications for Threads and most other Meta apps, but I understand that it's not ideal for everyone—especially if you don't want to miss DMs. You can turn off some types of junk notifications, such as posts "suggested" for you and follow suggestions, in Threads. Go to your profile on Threads, hit the two-line menu button in the top-right corner, and select Notifications. Go to From Threads and disable everything. Then head to Following and followers and disable account suggestions, and Pre-followed user joined Threads. You can also go to the Threads and replies settings page, and disable junk notifications such as Insights, Weekly insights, Views, First thread, and Updates from posts with links.

Hide your online status
Threads also reveals whether you're online to people who follow you. If that makes you uncomfortable, you can hide your online status from others. Go to Threads settings > Privacy > Online status, and select No one.
