GMA’s Michael Strahan, Ginger Zee and Sam Champion have announced they’ve created accounts on the Threads app.
The GMA anchors decided to join the new social network and made their own individual announcements on existing accounts.

Threads is a new app from Meta, Facebook’s parent company.
It’s similar to Twitter, operating in a manner like the “bird app.”
Users can post photos and videos as well as regular text posts there.
It looks like all three hosts are going to be posting on Threads as well as their regular social media accounts.
Each host announced their intentions to move over on Twitter and Instagram.
“Heading over to threads as well – See you all there,” Ginger shared with a link to her profile.
“Testing 1,2,3,4,” Michael posted on his Threads profile.
“Hello Threaders. Don’t look back…let’s build forward,” Sam wrote on his profile.

The hosts didn’t say whether they would be abandoning their Twitter accounts or not to move to Threads instead.
VACAY OVER
Meanwhile, Michael Strahan and Ginger Zee have returned to their posts, but Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos have not just yet.
After spending some time away from their desks, Michael and Ginger are back on the air.
However, it appears Robin and George are still away on an extended vacation.
Earlier this week, all three anchors had been away from their posts.
This meant there had to be three fill-in anchors.
On Tuesday, all three GMA anchor positions, usually held by Michael, 51, Robin, 62, and George, also 62, were being filled in by substitute hosts.
Whit Johnson sat in for George, morning show fill-in regular Linsey Davis subbed in for Robin, and Juju Chang fulfilled Micheal’s duties for the Fourth of July broadcast.
Now, Michael and Ginger are back doing their jobs, but Robin and George are still away.
Previously, Robin and fiancee Amber Laign had attended Jay Z’s mother’s wedding.
George had taken some time off to spend time with wife Ali Wentworth in Spetses, Greece.
It doesn’t look like there’s an ETA for their return just yet.
OFF DUTY
Meanwhile, Michael had previously been replaced by a beloved fill-in as he joined Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos on a break from the show.
The morning show host recently gave fans an inside look at how he’s spending his much-deserved vacation with a new Instagram post.
Juju filled in for Michael last month after he and Robin were absent from the hosting panel.
With it being Summer, the hosts are regularly taking vacations, off on assignment, or enjoying personal time with family while the weather allows for it.
This past Friday, Good Morning America again replaced all three main anchors.
Three fill-in anchors took their place at the GMA desk.
Again, Whit Johnson sat in George’s seat.
Rebecca Jarvis filled in for Robin as show newcomer, Mary Bruce replaced Michael.
Robin was out that Wednesday and Monday, while George had been out the whole week.
Whit filled in for George all five days.
Meanwhile, Rebecca and Linsey Davis took Robin’s spot when she was absent.
None of the hosts posted about why they were out or where they are, but it is most likely due to the fact that this is the Fourth of July weekend.
George has been on vacation all week in an unknown location.
It is not clear when all three main hosts will return to the morning show.
‘HAPPY PUP’
Before being absent on Friday, Michael showed off his new addition to the family.
He snuggled up with his pup Zuma in new Instagram snaps.
Michael was seen spending some time on the couch with his furry friend while reading up on sports cars.
The GMA host captioned his photo: “Zuma and I are in sync with our facial expressions LOLOL #HappyPup.”
Both Michael and Zuma appeared to be doing the same thing, smiling at the camera in one snap.
In another, they were both staring off-camera, apparently deep in thought.
Michael’s family welcomed Zuma into their home in May as a puppy.
A QUICK PHOTO
Michael’s daughter, Sophia, recently shared a photo of his girlfriend on Instagram.
The former New York Giant and Kayla Quick tend to keep their relationship private.
Last month, Sophia took to her Instagram story to show some love to her dad.
It was Father’s Day and she shared a throwback picture, as well as a recent photo.
The recent snapshot featured her, Michael, her twin sister, Isabella, and Michael’s girlfriend, Kayla.
They all posed for the camera outside after celebrating Isabella’s high school graduation.
In the photo, the twins stood between Michael and Kayla.
Kayla wore tan dress pants, a white blouse that tied up in the front, and brown, open-toed heels.
She and the GMA host began dating in 2015 and have since kept their relationship private.
Michael married Sophia and Isabella’s mother, Jean Muggli, in 1999.
The two got divorced in 2006.
