Threads became available in the US and UK a little earlier than anticipated, following Meta’s countdown timer unexpectedly jumping forward. The web version of Threads briefly went live earlier today, featuring posts from Mark Zuckerberg and other individuals.
Meta took an innovative approach to generate excitement for the “text-based conversation app” by sending personalized invites via Instagram. Users were directed to search for ‘Threads’ in the Instagram search bar, where they discovered a red ticket leading to a personal invite. However, the app is now accessible on both the App Store and Google Play Store.
