Since the advent of Instagram Threads, it has been in the news and almost everyone is talking about it. This app was launched at the beginning of this week and it is being talked about all over social media. This app has been brought as a competitive app of Twitter. Many people have signed up for this app in the first 48 hours. More than 100 million accounts have been created on this platform. Threads touched the figure of 100 million users in as little as 5 days. This platform seems to be growing faster than Chat GPT, Tik Tok and even Instagram. Twitter threatened to drag Meta to court. The rapid growth of the thread can be gauged from the number badges appearing on Instagram profiles. Its current user count has crossed 100 million and if the speed continues like this, Threads will give a tough competition to other apps in the coming hours. How big an achievement this is can be gauged from the fact that it took 2 months for Chat GPT to reach 100 million users, 9 months for TikTok, and 2.5 years for Instagram. One reason for Thread growing so fast is its integration with Instagram. Seeing the great response and growth the thread is getting, Twitter has written a letter threatening to drag Meta to court. According to this letter, Meta has hired employees fired by Twitter who had access to Meta’s sensitive data. Looking at this, it can be said that there is a strong competition going on between both the social media giants. Such growth of threads in just 48 hours shows the strength of Instagram’s user base. With the ability to reach 100 million user base much faster than its predecessors, this app has made itself a big competitor in the messaging app category.
