Easily make threads in Threads with three taps.

As shown by Instagram boss Adam Mosseri in a 💎 Hidden Gems 💎 thread (I’m just bringing over his emoji usage here), if you tap return three times in a row while composing a Threads post, you can make another post in the thread. I think it’s a really clever feature, and it’s one of my favorite features of the app.

He’s got a few other handy tricks in the full thread, though you can also see them all on video on his Instagram page.

Does anyone have a better username idea for me? Many expected variations of my name are taken or unavailable. This one is silly but I’m guessing I’ll be tired of it in a month or two.
