In a blink of an eye, Meta, the genius behind Facebook, unleashed its Twitter rival, Instagram’s Threads App, through 100 countries. And boy, did it make a splash! Within a mere four hours, this shiny new social platform managed to snag a whopping 5 million eager sign-ups. Talk about a popularity explosion!
But that’s not all, folks. As if to prove it’s not just a one-hit wonder, Threads App went on to conquer even greater heights, reaching a mind-boggling 30 million sign-ups within 24 hours. It’s like the cool new kid in school who instantly becomes the life of the party.
But hey, here’s a question to ponder:
🧵🐦 What Sets Twitter Apart from its New Competitor, Threads App?
✨ Character Limit: Threads has a character limit of 500, while Twitter has a limit of 280 characters for unpaid users.
✨ Verification: Threads only allows users to verify their accounts if they are already verified on Instagram. Twitter, on the other hand, offers verification to anyone who meets the criteria.
✨ Deleting Accounts: Threads accounts can only be deleted if the associated Instagram account is also deleted. Twitter accounts can be deleted without deleting any other app, of course.
✨ Video Sharing: Threads allows all users, even those who are unverified, to share videos with a duration of five minutes. In contrast, Twitter permits users without the highly sought-after blue badge to upload videos that are two minutes and 20 seconds in length.
✨ Homepage: Users can easily access popular and relevant topics on Twitter’s homepage through hashtags, For You page, and the following page, while on Threads, the sole method to discover content is by navigating through the home feed. There are no hashtags or any other pages.
✨ No Ads: Threads comes without any advertisements, which means no strings attached. The intention behind this decision, as reported by Bloomberg, is to generate maximum enthusiasm among users for the product.

📲🔴 Implications of Threads App for Live Streaming
So, it turns out that Threads App hasn’t given us the option to go live just yet. But here’s something interesting: when you go live on Instagram, Threads App actually sends a notification if you’re using it. Pretty cool, huh? Let’s see how this new social platform shakes things up in the world of live streaming. Even though the Threads App doesn’t have the live streaming feature at the moment, how about we make an announcement on the Threads App before going live? Sounds like a plan, right?
