Latest News:  threads

Today, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg finally announced that Threads will have a new Following feature update. It was confirmed on his Instagram broadcast channel, where Threads users can check out posts of people that they follow instead of random accounts. 

It's been more than a week since Threads by Instagram launched. As always, it was met with enthusiasm on how it would compete with Twitter. It even crossed over 100 million users in just five days but it seems that the hype has gone down considerably.

It's been almost 2 weeks since Threads launched, but the company isn't ready on its laurels. Previously, Instagram's boss announced that features like hashtags will be added. And one of those upcoming features should include DMs (direct messages).

Recently, Twitter threatened to sue Meta over its rival platform Threads. Now, Elon Musk’s social media platform company is further taking steps against the new app by blocking all of its links on Twitter’s search function.

It's been almost a week since Threads launched and even until now, most of us have no clue what to do with the app. Although it's mimicking Twitter, its role is quite different from what we expect, at least according to Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri.

Threads might be four days old. But that does not stop it from recording over 100 million users after its launch. This is a new world record because ChatGPT took over two months just to reach the same number.

It's been only five days since Threads was launched but there are already millions of users. That said, new Threads users would notice a couple of missing features if compared with Twitter such as hashtags, the flexibility to switch accounts and more.

While everyone is exploring how Threads work, some discovered that deleting your Threads account is not that simple. In the Supplemental Privacy Policy section, it is stated that “Your Threads Profile is Part of Your Instagram Account. Therefore, it may be deleted at any time by deleting your Instagram account”.

According to Mark Zuckerberg, Threads by Instagram has already reached over 30 million users on the first day which is quite a feat. That said, we wondered how would Twitter react to this and apparently, the company is threatening to sue Meta about it. 

If you have been keeping up, Meta just officially launched Threads as a direct competition to Twitter. The app is now available for download on both the Apple App and Google Play Store and here's what you should know about it.
