Threads (app)

Threads is a social media microblogging service. It was developed and owned by Meta Platforms. The service was started on July 6, 2023. Threads reached 30 million users. It is similar to X (formerly Twitter). 

Threads works "adjacent" to Instagram, users need to have an Instagram account and use their Instagram login details. When Elon Musk bought Twitter in 2022, Meta workers talked about the creation of "Instagram Notes", a text-based feature of Instagram. They also talked about creating a separate and text-focused app, that helped create the idea of Threads.

 History 
On April 19, 2022, Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion dollars.
