Meta’s Threads continues to develop, all whereas the service it aped, X, continues to splutter and disintegrate. Mark Zuckerberg mentioned that Threads at present has “just below” 100 million monthly active users and that the app may attain 1 billion customers within the subsequent couple of years.
Threads picked up 100 million sign-ups in its first week, with simple methods to create an account out of your current Instagram profile.

Meta has since steadily added new options, and engagement appears to have rebounded in latest weeks as Elon Musk continues to make unpopular modifications to X, like stripping headlines from hyperlinks and effectively, all the other things.
