As reported by the Wall Street Journal, the launch could happen as early as this week.
Threads, which launched as an Android and iOS app on July 5 and gained 100 million users in just five days, saw its popularity drop as users returned to the more familiar platform X after the initial rush to try Meta”s new offering, said Reuters.
Considering the last months activity, daily active users on Thread”s Android app has dropped to 10.3 million from the peak of 49.3 million, says studies published in Similarweb, an analytics platform.
Threads currently offers features to set post notifications for accounts and view them in a type of chronological feed.
Along with the web version, Threads will soon initiate “search post” feature over “search an account” feature.
