In the US I’ve never met anyone that uses WhatsApp. I think this is because texting was free for everyone here for a long time before it came out, so there was no real reason to move to a messaging app over what was already built in and free.

Do you really need it when you could use FOSS instead?

Threads is basically a new feature of Instagram, they don’t even talk about it as something that is distinct from it.

It happened at my work the other day. There was a popup with a not so obvious option that sets it back to your default browser.

No, not possible at this time. It is a requested feature, so maybe eventually.

I can find it in search and going to it directly also works.

I’d like a hide post button. I sometimes want to hide posts, but not usually ones I’ve interacted with.
