How Long Did it Take Threads to Reach 1 Million Users?

Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, launched its new Twitter rival, Threads, on Instagram on July 6. The app allows users to share short text posts, photos, and videos with a select group of followers.

Some users were excited about the new app, while others were skeptical. Many users took to Twitter to share memes about Threads, comparing it to Twitter's own Threads feature.

Interestingly, Threads crossed the one million user mark in just 1 hour after it was made public. But how does that compare to other technology companies?

The growth of the user base of Threads is definitely notable as opposed to other industry giants, including Netflix, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Netflix took 3.5 years, Twitter took 2 years, Facebook took 10 months, Spotify took 5 months, and Instagram took 2.5 months, ChatGPT took five days while Threads took only 1 hour to reach one million users.

Here is a table comparing the user growth of Threads to other technology companies:
