Instagram is among those which come the closest. Other popular online services have generally taken much longer to hit the one million user mark. Threads is now likely the most rapidly downloaded app or rapidly adopted online service, taking the crown from AI tool ChatGPT, which gained one million users five days after launching in November of last year. Twitter threatened to sue Meta over the hiring of former employees for the app. This approach is supported by fact checkers and the flagging and blocking of post detected as false or misleading by Threads. The product that is seen as a competitor to Twitter supports posts up to 500 characters, photos and videos up to five minutes and was called a place for 'friendly' conversations by its makers.
According to information from Meta itself, the company's new Threads app has registered two million users in the first two hours after its launch Wednesday.
