More than 10 million people have registered accounts for Meta’s new Twitter rival, Threads, just seven hours after its launch, according to Billionaire Mark Zuckerberg.
The CEO, who goes by the handle “Zuck on Threads,” made the announcement on Wednesday night,, July 5 as he wrote a flurry of posts and replies coinciding with his new app’s debut.
“10 million sign ups in seven hours,” Zuckerberg wrote with a “mindblown” emoji.

Threads is linked to Instagram, which Meta said in October has around two billion monthly active users.
