Threads connects directly, not through Instagram — even though the two share an account. You connect one Threads profile at a time.
Connect Threads
Open Channels
Select Channels in the left sidebar, then Connect channel.
Choose Threads
Pick Threads from the Add a connection panel.

Approve all three permissions
Threads asks for permission to read your profile, publish content and manage replies. Approve all three. The replies permission is what lets Ocoya publish threads — without it, any caption over 500 characters fails at publishing time.
There’s no profile-selection screen. Threads returns a single profile, and it appears on your Channels page once approved.
What you can post
| Post type | Supported |
|---|---|
| Text post | Yes — no image needed |
| Single image | Yes |
| Carousel | Yes — up to 10 images |
| Video | Yes — one per post |
| GIF | Yes — one per post |
| Reel or story | No |
Threads’ limits
| Limit | |
|---|---|
| Post text | 500 characters per post, 5,000 total |
| Hashtags | No fixed limit |
| Images per post | 10, maximum 8 MB each |
| Video per post | 1, maximum 100 MB |
Long captions become threads
Above 500 characters Ocoya splits your caption into a chain of replies rather than refusing it. Ocoya warns you while you write, and the post still publishes. Above 5,000 characters it’s refused outright.
See Long posts and threads for how the splitting works.
Common problems
“Threading requires the threads_manage_replies permission.” You approved the first two permissions but not the third. Reconnect the profile and approve all of them — see Reconnect a channel.
“My Instagram account is connected but Threads isn’t.” They’re separate connections in Ocoya, even on the same login. Connect Threads on its own.
