It has only been five days since the launch of Threads, the new Instagram app that is ready to take on Twitter, and we just received news that the app has managed to reach 100 million users. Making it one of the fastest growth for a social media app, and it has even managed to beat ChatGPT, which reached 100 million users in two months. It is safe to say that Meta's app is taking off, and for all the good reasons, they could not have picked a better time to launch the app, especially with Twitter going through many issues at the time.
Not only Threads has surpassed 100 million users, but people are also actively engaging on the platform and taking part in different conversations
Threads managed to cross 10 million downloads in just seven hours, and while at that time, many of us wondered that the traction would eventually slow down, it hasn't slowed down at all, and now it has managed to cross 100 million users. Thankfully, this number isn't just for show, as a lot of people are already using the app and doing so actively. If you head over to the app, you will realize that there are several posts on various topics, so it is safe to say that people are engaging more and more on the platform.
Another thing that makes this growth so impressive is that Threads is not available around the world at the time. For instance, the app is still unavailable in the EU, which obviously would contribute to a lot more users, but until then, we can actually look at it and see how far this trend goes. I have not had the chance to sign up for the app just yet, but considering the pace at which it is going, I won't be surprised if I have to eventually join the platform.
Before you join Threads, however. It is worth noting that the app relies heavily on your Instagram account. This is to the point that if you want to go ahead and delete your profile, you will have to delete your Instagram account along with it. I am really hoping that this changes in the future because, from the perspective that I see, Meta's latest app is definitely becoming a hit.
