San Francisco Meta’s Twitter rival, Threads, has finally crossed 100 million user sign-ups within a week of its launch, while Twitter is experiencing a decline in traffic.
Threads reached the milestone even faster than OpenAI’s ChatGPT that passed that mark after two months, according to reports.
Meta launched Threads last week for iOS and Android users in 100 countries, and it is currently the top free app on the App Store.
The new app crossed 2 million sign-ups in just two hours after launch, 10 million users in seven hours and 30 million in just 12 hours.
IT service management company Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince on Sunday tweeted a graph showing Twitter’s declining domain name system (DNS) ranking from January to now.
Twitter-owner Elon Musk on Monday posted, “You will get more laughs from this app than everything else combined.” In response to a tweet about Meta Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s investment in the Metaverse, Musk said, “Censorship pays them well.”
Last week, Zuckerberg had said that the launch of the new app has been “way beyond our expectations.”
