Threads sees active users drop 70% in two weeks

.

The latest figures relating to Threads don't necessarily bode well for Meta. For the second week running, its number of daily active users is down, falling to 13 million. According to Sensor Tower, this represents a 70% drop from the peak on July 7.

And it's not just the number of users that is declining. Average time spent on the app is also in decline, SimilarWeb says, dropping from 19 minutes a day to just four minutes on the Android and iOS apps. In the US, the average time spent on the Android app has fallen to five minutes, compared with 21 minutes when Threads was launched, WSJ reports.

The Threads craze could be likened to the fleeting success of Mastodon and Clubhouse, whose popularity soared in the wake of Twitter's various controversies. It remains to be seen whether Threads will suffer the same fate as its predecessors, who saw their users jump ship shortly afterwards.

They’ve not been hyped, just built up their user base and topic base, and let nature take its course. Good app, good management and good folks, nutbags are pushed out.

open it up to web / desktop use. I don't want or need it as an app on my phone. Also, I don't want to deal with friends from FB and instagram. I want my twitter folks. So until those things are worked out, I have no real use for it. I'm not about to manually add over 600 people.
