Meta's new Threads app captured global hype at its launch and secured millions of users in the first week. It was one of the most fastest-growing apps on iOS and the trend continued for a few weeks. However, the company failed to retain its users which led to the app becoming a Twitter or X ripoff. While there were several reasons for the downfall, one of the major aspects was the absence of a web platform. Now, Meta has finally launched its Threads platform for the web, boasting similar features to X.
The web version of Threads is now rolling out globally but delivers more or less the same experience
Meta's Threads app launched with some pretty basic features and the user experience was pretty similar to that of X (formerly known as Twitter). Twitter CEO Elon Musk took note of the similarities and implemented various features. Threads, on the other hand, failed to introduce new features for a while, keeping the user experience pretty standard and kind of boring. Ultimately, the platform lost millions of active users, roughly more than 70 percent. Now, the company is working to gain ground again by launching the Threads app for the web.
Even though Threads is now available on the web, the success of the platform is not guaranteed. This is because the platform delivers more or less the same experience as that of its mobile counterpart. What this means is that the company has not unveiled any new features that content creators or users can utilize for growth. However, the company is working on introducing new features that will bridge the gap with X and allow users to make a better choice.
It appears that Meta is rolling out the web version of the Threads web version on a global scale. However, at the time of writing, the web version of the platform is not available in our region. If you are encountering a similar situation, it would be wise to wait. The Threads web app will be available to everyone shortly. In the previous Threads app update, the company made some changes that will display content in a chronological manner, or content from accounts that you follow. As for features like Direct Message, you will have to wait.
Meta needs to be quick to add new features to the mix. X took its fair share of time to reach the point where it is today and users would not want to wait again for a platform that offers a similar user experience. You can access the web version by heading over to Threads.net and see if it suits your needs and preferences better than that of X.
