Mark Zuckerberg's Threads surges with over 5 million sign-ups in first 4 hours
Meta's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, revealed that Threads, the company's Twitter rival, experienced an impressive surge in registrations within the first four hours of its launch.

Notably, the app garnered two million registrations within the initial two hours, further highlighting its rapid popularity among users.
What to know about Threads
Threads is primarily designed as a platform for sharing real-time text updates, similar to Twitter. The resemblance to Twitter is apparent, with Threads sporting a comparable layout and font style. Users can create posts of up to 500 characters, which can include links, photos, and videos with a maximum duration of five minutes.
These posts are displayed in a timeline and can be interacted with through actions such as liking, reposting, replying, and sharing. However, unlike Twitter, posts on Threads are not organized chronologically, and there is currently no apparent option to change the default sorting order. Many users on Threads are expected to be individuals who have transitioned from Instagram, including celebrities, athletes, and friends, who can be followed on the platform.
How to download and register to Threads?
Threads is conveniently accessible for users through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. To get started, simply download the Threads app from your preferred store. The login process is streamlined, as you can use your existing Instagram account to sign in to Threads seamlessly. This integration allows for a smooth transition and immediate access to your network of friends and connections from Instagram.
