Threads, the new social media app created by Meta, launched officially on July 6 and has quickly made its mark. With Elon Musk of Twitter and Mark Zuckerberg of Meta in the spotlight, the launch of Threads is seen by many as a clash of social media giants.

Serving as direct competition to the heavily criticized Twitter app, Threads has proven to be a smashing success for Zuckerberg, drawing in an impressive five million users in a matter of hours.

Like Twitter, Threads is a microblogging platform where users can generate content, receive updates from news sources, and access promotional material from brands. Users can engage with posts by liking, replying to, or reposting them on their own feed.
