#Threads surpasses the 100 million user mark just five days after it launched, according to estimates from data tracking platform Quiver Quantitative.
The Meta-created Twitter clone has been a hit with users, reaching the milestone even faster than OpenAI’s ChatGPT, per The Verge. Threads owes much of its success to its connection with Instagram. The platform has unique access to Instagram’s roughly more than two billion active user base.
Threads proved to be an early hit almost immediately. In the first two hours, it hit 2 million users and steadily climbed from there to 5 million, 10 million, 30 million, and then 70 million. The launch has been “way beyond our expectations,” CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on Friday.
