Facebook-parent Meta officially launched its Twitter competitor, Threads, after first confirming its plans for the app just three months ago. Here's everything we know so far.
Threads is already off to a strong start: 10 million users signed up for the app in the first seven hours after its launch, according to the company, including a large number of brands, celebrities, journalists and many other prominent accounts. The mood on Threads Wednesday night felt a bit like the first day of school, with early adopters rushing to try out the app and write their first posts — and some questioning whether the app could end up being the “Twitter killer.
” Some users have also raised concerns about the amount of data that the Threads, like Instagram, can collect about users, including location, contacts, search history, browsing history, contact info and more, according to the Apple App Store. Where is Threads available? Threads is available in 100 countries and more than 30 languages via Apple’s iOS and Android, according to the company.
