Meta has launched a new social media platform, Threads. Within a mere seven hours of its launch, Threads attracted an astounding 10 million users. The news was confirmed by none other than CEO Mark Zuckerberg himself, who took to his official Threads account to share the exciting announcement.
Threads, designed by Meta as a text based platform, emerges as a direct competitor to Twitter. Since its release, it has garnered immense popularity and engagement. The app focuses on real-time updates and public conversations, offering users an experience reminiscent of Instagram.
For those eager to try it out, Threads is readily available for download on both the Apple and Google Android app stores in over 100 countries. Major markets such as the US, UK, Australia, Canada, and Japan are included in the list. Media reports have shared screenshots of the app, showcasing its resemblance to Twitter’s microblogging style.
To facilitate user interaction, Threads incorporates various interactive buttons, enabling actions such as liking, reposting, replying, and quoting threads. Moreover, each post includes counters that keep track of the number of likes and replies received.
The rapid surge in Threads’ popularity and its impressive user base within a short timeframe reflect the strong demand for fresh and engaging social media experiences. With its unique features and competitive edge, Threads has established itself as a formidable player in the social media landscape.
