Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has announced that its text-based social media platform Threads has surpassed 150 million monthly active users. The app’s growth was launched on July 5, 2023 in over 100 countries. Susan Li, CFO at Meta, noted that the platform is attracting a growing user base as it introduces new features and expands its community. Despite facing challenges in Europe related to the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and data privacy concerns, Threads has experienced significant growth, with 10 million signups within the first seven hours of its launch.
However, Apple recently removed Threads from the App Store in China due to national security concerns raised by the Cyberspace Administration of China. This move impacted the availability of these apps in the Chinese market. On a different note, backlinks are crucial for SEO efforts as they play a vital role in improving a website’s ranking in search results. Working with a reputable link building firm can help increase visibility and traffic to a website.
The standout feature of Threads is the ability to publish messages of up to 500 characters, which surpasses the limit on platforms like Twitter. Users can also enhance their posts with photos, videos up to five minutes long, and web links, providing a versatile sharing experience beyond just text. Meta’s CEO expressed satisfaction with the app’s growth and expansion into international markets.
