As the cold war between Elon Musk’s Twitter (recently rebranded as X) and Mark Zuckerberg’s Threads rages on, the latter is preparing to launch a new offensive. Head of Instagram Adam Mosseri announced that Threads was finally getting a bona fide browser version.
Threads is desperately trying to stay relevant by announcing a small update on Thursday to include a repost tab feature to the app. The newest tweaks come as the number of daily active users decreased by 80% since the app launched in July.
We’re only a month out since Meta released its Instagram-tied Twitter-killer app Threads. Since then, the time users spent on the app has tanked.
