Meta's 'Threads' Gains 10 Mln Subscribers in 7 Hours, Says Zuckerberg

Early Thursday, Meta's Threads was officially launched on App Store, and Google Play, and it gained more than 10 million users in only seven hours, according to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

Threads is a Twitter-like app and it is tied to Instagram, and it carries the majority of Twitter features except Spaces and Messages.

The 10 million as a number is a respectable one but it is still far away from the number of Instagram users and Twitter.

The launching of the application came as feedback to the latest Elon Musk restrictions on Twitter, including restricting the number of browsed tweets for non-Twitter Blue subscribers to 600 tweets per day. 

Zuckerberg is so active on Threads after the launch. He expressed that Meta will keep the platform "friendly," which is "ultimately be the key to its success." 

On the other hand, Musk tweeted that it's "infinitely preferable to be attacked by strangers on Twitter, than indulge in the false happiness of hide-the-pain Instagram."

In the past few days, a clash between the giant figures were teased, and they aimed to fight each other. So, it seems that their conflict is taking another shift.
