The craze around Threads, Meta's latest Twitter competitor, has slowed down. The app, however, has already garnered over 100 million users, making it the fastest to log this achievement. Almost all celebrities and internet personalities have jumped ship to the new platform given how closely intertwined it is with Instagram, the photo and short-form video-sharing app.
The once-nascent follower profiles on the new microblogging app quickly exploded to millions of followers over a few hours. Although the numbers are much lesser than those on Instagram and Facebook, they are quite impressive given the app is just a month old.
In this article, we will fill you in on where the most followed profiles are and how they are growing a month after the app went live in online stores. All the mentioned profiles are individuals rather than business entities or companies.

Khloe, the youngest of the Kardashian sisters, is an American model, media personality, and online influencer. The 38-year-old grew to prominence following her role in the TV series Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Besides, she has also been seen on multiple other web series and reality shows.
