A leaked document showcases a list of features which are "coming soon" to Threads app. As per the document, direct messaging feature may come on the app soon. Other features such as 'Trends and Topics' will also be reportedly introduced soon. Instagram chief Adam Mosseri had earlier said DMs weren't on Threads' immediate roadmap.
This update to the platform comes as Threads now has over 100 million user sign ups just within days of its arrival. It boasts of a weekly active user base that is nearly one-fifth of competitor Twitter’s.
Within just its first week of launch, Threads racked up about 93 million active users globally and on 10 July, Meta announced that the app had reached 100 million signups.
The app now has more than 150 million downloads, reaching this milestone “5.5 times more quickly than the second-fastest app to do so”, according to the app intelligence firm data.ai.
Among Threads’ userbase, according to data.ai’s report, India accounts for nearly a third of the app’s downloads, followed by Brazil, with 22 per cent of overall Threads’ installs, and the US representing about 16 per cent of the total.
Other features such as improved search, trends and topics are also reportedly coming soon, along with a feed in chronological order. It is however unclear when these new updates will come.
