Want to keep the picture? Press and hold on the screen for 1.5 seconds. Select "Save Image" to your phone’s gallery. Comparison: Threads vs. The Competition Now that the Threads profile picture viewer is fixed , how does it stack up against its rivals?

Threads now outranks X (Twitter) in profile picture quality. Twitter compresses avatars aggressively to save bandwidth, often leaving jagged edges. Threads, leveraging Instagram’s infrastructure, now offers crystal clarity. However, X still wins on desktop functionality. The Privacy & Safety Implications Fixing the profile picture viewer is a double-edged sword. While great for usability, it raises questions about privacy. The Good: Transparency Impersonators used to hide behind blurry, scraped images. Now, if someone steals a photo from a celebrity’s Insta and uses it on Threads, the original owner (or their fans) can zoom in to see pixel-level artifacts, watermarks, or compression patterns that prove the image is stolen. This fix is a massive win for anti-catfishing efforts. The Bad: Content Theft Because the fix allows long-press saving, artists and influencers are worried. Previously, the low resolution acted as a deterrent for screenshotting. Now, a troll can download a high-res profile picture of a creator in one second. threads profile picture viewer fixed
