September 26, 2023: According to Michel Protti, Meta’s chief privacy officer for product, Meta is planning to launch account deletion feature for Threads by December. “Technically, it was extremely challenging to allow deletion of a separate Threads account without also deleting your overall Instagram account out of the gate. So we paid particular attention to ensuring the user could still exercise their deletion rights, by deactivating the account to sort of hide all content, setting it to private or deleting individual threads,” he said.

September 25, 2023: Insider Intelligence forecasts that Threads will have 23.7 million U.S. users by the end of 2023, far below X (56.1 million users). It will also rank below Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, which will have 177.9 million, 135.2 million, and 102.3 million, respectively by the end of 2023. However, by 2025, Threads users wil increase to 30 million while X users will drop to 47 million. “Threads received an initial boost from Twitter’s missteps, but it can’t rely on X defectors to continue to grow,” Jasmine Enberg, Insider Intelligence’s principal analyst said in a statement<ref>https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/26/23890592/threads-meta-monthly-users-data-x-twitter</ref>. | |||
August 21, 2023: According to the Wall Street Journal, Meta Platforms will launch a web version of Threads early this week. Already, users can see web posts of Threads but their access is limited since the app is mostly intented for mobile phones. Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram said last week that the web version is already being tested internally and that it will launch soon. According to people familiar with it, the launch is expected this week though the launch plans aren't final. “It’s a little bit buggy right now, you don’t want it just yet,” Mosseri said. “As soon as it is ready we will share it with everybody else.” The search feature could help Threads reach more users after time spent on it declined sharply.
