Meta Launches Web Version of Threads App Today

Instagram head Adam Mosseri has announced that Meta’s new microblogging platform Threads will soon be available online. The company has already started rolling out the online version of Threads.

“We’re launching Threads online in the next few days and everyone is excited,” Mosseri wrote on Threads. Online, Threads users can post messages, view the feed, and interact with messages from their desktop. However, the web user experience is not identical to the Threads mobile app for now.

In a Threads post, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg also announced that the online version will be available to users in the coming days. He shared a photo of himself with the caption, “Here I am working on Threads for the web. Launching soon.”

According to a TechCrunch report, the Meta team will be adding new features in the coming weeks to make the web app as capable as the mobile version. Desktop users cannot edit their profiles or send a thread to Instagram DMs (direct messages).

Last week, Mosseri hinted that progress is being made with the online version. In response to the user’s message, Mosseri stated: “The desktop network will arrive well in advance of the foldable support. We are almost done with the network, and we are not focusing on the foldable products.”

Mosseri mentioned that the company has been conducting internal tests of the early online version for some time, but improvements still need to be made before a wider release.

Just a few weeks ago, Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg assured that the online version would arrive soon. Ever since Threads was introduced, users have been eagerly waiting for a web version, which has unfortunately been conspicuously absent.

According to related news, the Meta-owned microblogging platform is rapidly losing daily users. Despite becoming the most downloaded non-gaming app in a decade and having over 100 million users, the platform has reportedly been losing users rapidly.
