Threads Social Media Platform Sees Rapid Growth, Surpasses 2 Million Users in Two Hours
The text-based app Threads by Meta, powered by Instagram, was launched ahead of schedule on July 6 at 4:30 AM IST, instead of the expected time of 7:30 PM IST. Both the iOS and Android versions of the app are now available for download and installation. This platform, which aims to compete with Twitter, experienced a significant influx of users immediately after its launch. Within just two hours, over 2 million users registered on the app, according to a report from The Verge. Let’s explore this new social media platform.
Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri told The Verge that he acknowledges Twitter as the pioneer of a text-based social media platform, but “given everything that’s happened, we thought we had an opportunity to build something open and something that was good for the community that was already using Instagram.”
