Instagram’s Threads – Know Everything About Twitter’s Rival App
Threads, Meta powered app that is closely similar to Elon Musk’s Twitter and is affiliated with Instagram has witnessed over 1 crore downloads within 7 hours of going live.
Meta has come up with a whole new social networking app called Threads which is identical to the world-famous social media platform Twitter. The app is a potential alternative to Twitter since it has similar features where one can share text updates along with images, links, and videos.
The app went live for both Android and iOS users on Wednesday, the 5th of July, and immediately caught up people’s attention. It went on to record more than 10 million signups within 7 hours of getting launched.
“Our vision with Threads is to take what Instagram does best and expand that to text, creating a positive and creative space to express your ideas. Just like on Instagram, with Threads you can follow and connect with friends and creators who share your interests – including the people you follow on Instagram and beyond.”- Meta’s Blog.
Just like you can share your thoughts and opinions or join public conversations on Twitter, Threads allow you to do the same. With a word limit of up to 500 characters and a media limit of up to 5 minutes, users can post and share stuff, privately or publicly.
Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta also expressed his joy of launching this app by posting on it. He even replied with his thoughts when asked if Threads can beat Twitter and become a bigger app than it:
He said “It’ll take some time, but I think there should be a public conversations app with 1 billion+ people on it. Twitter has had the opportunity to do this but hasn’t nailed it. Hopefully, we will.”
Owned by Meta and developed by Instagram’s team, this app’s interface is comparatively more crisp and neat. The users can follow their favorite accounts and like, share, and comment on their posts just like usual.
