In early July, Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg officially launched a new app called Threads. Now this application can be accessed in 100 countries including Indonesia.
Threads users are expected to exceed 100 million within five days of debut, according to reports. Despite this remarkable feat, Threads has demonstrated a declining tendency in terms of user growth, and it is claimed that it has not been able to make users feel at home using the service for long.
If you haven't already begun using Threads, read this article to learn more about the app itself.
What are Threads?
Threads is the Instagram team's most recent social media app, with the primary feature of text sharing and joining public discussions.
The app, which is expected to be a Twitter competitor, looks remarkably similar to Twitter, with text as the primary format in the feed. However, users can also use photos or videos to upload posts.
What are the Features of Threads?
Users can submit a maximum of 500 characters for one post in the Threads program. Users can react, repost, and quote other users' replies on Threads postings, similar to what a user can do on Twitter.
Threads' application interface and navigation structure, on the other hand, maintains the aesthetic DNA of Instagram and allows users to immediately share posts from Threads to Instagram Stories.
Furthermore, a verified Instagram account will instantly display as a confirmed Threads account. This increases the number of Instagram verified accounts who want to use Threads and Instagram at the same time.
Mobile version Only
For the time being, Threads are only available on smartphones, which is why many users complain about not being able to use the app from a PC or laptop.
So far, there has been no official announcement from Threads whether they will also make a desktop version of this application.
Conclusion
Threads, despite its early success, has a lot of opportunities for growth. Threads, for example, lacks capabilities such as a desktop version, instant messaging, trending topics, and the ability to change messages when compared to Twitter. However, with Instagram's large user base, Threads still has a great opportunity to compete with Twitter.
