News & Reviews:   Threads

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.

In case you didn't know, Meta has been secretly developing a rival app to Twitter called Threads. Well, it seems that we are getting the app earlier than expected as it has appeared on the Apple App Store. It's expected to launch on 6 July 2023 globally.

Twitter users are ironically taking to the platform to express their frustrations at Elon Musk’s recent decision to aggressively limit how many tweets users can view per day. Allegedly implemented temporarily to address “extreme levels of data scraping”, verified accounts are now limited to 6000 posts per day, unverified accounts to 600 per day and new unverified accounts to 300 per day.

The latest in a flurry of changes to the platform since Musk’s takeover, many have expressed willingness to switch to a competing app. Well, Meta may take this opportunity to expedite the release of its Twitter competitor, Threads. In fact, the app briefly appeared on Google Play yesterday.

Meta is reportedly planning to launch a new social media platform to compete with Twitter, codenamed “Project 92”. Based on internal documents, the name for the platform could be “Threads”.
