# Threads How-To Guides: Posting, Limits and Cross-Posting

Source: https://bolta.ai/guides/threads
Last updated: 2026-07-28

Threads mechanics explained: post and media limits, how Threads relates to your Instagram account, and how cross-posting between the two actually behaves.

## Summary

Threads is the newest surface with the least documentation, so this is the section we re-verify most often. Every claim carries a check date.

## Threads guides

- [Threads and Instagram: what cross-posts and what does not](https://bolta.ai/guides/threads/cross-posting-with-instagram): Threads is built on your Instagram account, but the two apps are further apart than people expect. Here is what carries over, what does not, and how to share a thread to Instagram on purpose.
- [Threads post limits: characters, media and video](https://bolta.ai/guides/threads/post-limits): How long a Threads post can be, how many photos or videos fit in one, how long video can run, and how replies chain together when you need more room than one post allows.
- [Editing and deleting Threads posts](https://bolta.ai/guides/threads/edit-and-delete-posts): The Threads edit window, what happens to replies and reposts when you delete, and the thing that catches people out: what deactivating the linked Instagram account does to a Threads profile.
