How do I use Threads? Elon Musk might face serious difficulties as a result of Meta's Twitter clone.

The most well-known microblogging service, Twitter, is quite similar to Meta's Threads, a text-based chat programme.

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, is once again doing what he does best: building social networks that inspire participation and dialogue. In just a few hours after its global launch, Threads, Meta's microblogging network designed to capitalise on Twitter's self-inflicted problems, has managed to surpass 10 million subscribers. This gives Threads some credence as a real Twitter substitute. It remains to be seen if this uptick will sustain over time and succeed in luring users and interaction away from Elon Musk's Twitter. A lot will rely on how Meta handles user privacy and safety on this new mobile-only service. However, the support for Threads does highlight the necessity for a neutral area where ideas may be discussed without fear of retaliation.

We discuss the free text-based software Threads from Meta and if it signals the end of Twitter as we know it.

How can I purchase Threads?

In more than 100 countries, including India, you can now download the Threads app for free from the Google Play and Apple App Store online stores.
