App Store rating, a 3.8-star rating across 20,000 reviews. In one thread on Threads (ha), in fact, users rushed to defend the app against the narrative that the app was dead, remarking that people should be more patient and wait for the needed features, and reminding others that even Instagram wasn’t an overnight success.Īnother post, led by social media consultant Matt Navarra, asked “threads is…” To this, Instagram head Adam Mosseri replied “a work in progress.” Across hundreds of other replies, many posted positive messages, calling the app an “opportunity,” better than Twitter, an “inspiration,” “exciting” and more - an indication that Threads is already building a community of fans.Īnother indication is the app’s U.S. These features are still in the works, along with Threads’ planned integration with ActivityPub, the protocol powering open source Twitter alternative Mastodon. Threads, though now publicly available, is effectively still a beta - an unfinished app - without a number of the features users want in a microblogging tool, like a chronological timeline, following feed, the ability to view your likes, a fully functional web version, an edit button, support for multiple accounts and more. What’s stopping people from using Threads more as of late may not be disappointment with the concept of the app itself but rather its current feature set, as compared with Twitter. Microblogging users then spent 12.5 minutes per day, on average, across 7.8 app sessions. That’s more than the “microblogging” category averages, which data.ai says includes Twitter, Truth Social, Mastodon and Bluesky. In its first few days on the market, Threads users were spending 15 minutes on average per day on the app, across 9.4 app sessions. Though Threads usage may have declined for now, as Sensor Tower data shows, its early usage numbers demonstrated its potential as a Twitter rival. Android usage declines - 21 minutes on July 7 to 6 minutes on July 14 - aren’t able to tell the whole story. That’s why analytics firm Similarweb’s analysis of U.S. delivered 27.8 million downloads or 15.1%. As of July 17, India and Brazil accounted for a larger number of installs, at 60.1 million (32.6%) and 40.2 million (21.8%), respectively. is only its third-largest market, data.ai’s analysis shows. By last week, data.ai estimated the app still had roughly one-fifth of the weekly active user base of Twitter.Īnother key point to note is that Threads is catching on in emerging mobile markets where downloads are still growing. During its first three days, it had 18.3% of the daily active users of Twitter, or 54.4 million to Twitter’s 298 million. Launched on July 5 to global markets, excluding the EU, Threads topped 100 million users within days of its arrival - becoming the fastest app to achieve that milestone, ahead of Pokémon GO, according to app intelligence firm data.ai. But it could also be a legitimate Twitter killer or mid-level success. Could it be an early record-breaker that eventually flops? Sure. Threads is still too new and too incomplete to make any sort of determination yet on its eventual fate. Plus, The WSJ points out, Meta executives said they planned for an eventual decline and don’t see this usage drop as worrisome. As the newness wears off, it’s also typical to see usage numbers drop as users return to their old habits while determining if and how they’ll continue to fit the new app into their daily routines. It’s expected that a highly anticipated new app would have stellar usage numbers in its early days as users set up their accounts, find and follow friends, and test out the app’s capabilities. By other metrics, the app is continuing to grow its user base and traction in global markets, which, in time, could also boost its usage - especially as the app’s feature set improves. Despite this seemingly worrying trend, it’s far too soon to count Threads out yet. By comparison, Twitter’s daily active users are around 200 million. Citing third-party data from Sensor Tower, the paper reports the number of daily active users on Threads dropped for the second week down to 13 million, a 70% decline from a July 7 high point. 23, 2022.A Wall Street Journal article on Friday warns that Instagram’s new Twitter competitor Threads is already losing steam.
