Meta’s Threads app is picking up the pace in terms of popularity and success, days after we saw its launch in the EU for the first time.
Data proves how the platform is a favorite amongst journalists and the next leading step in this regard has to do with the creation of APIs. The latter will reportedly give rise to the trend of direct publishing (including manual and auto sharing) being enabled on the app through third parties. This includes analytics, more scheduling, and others too.
The Threads team continues to work through this with the head of the app adding how they’re excited for the changes to arise very soon.
The decision being taken is called write API which allows third parties to publish on the platform and that’s a huge form of assistance for managers of social media platforms that are keen on grabbing a hold of other apps to expand their role. But with that being said, it’s not going to give rise to the likes of analytics and more insightful possibilities, right now, at least.
As of this moment in time, the feature is live and already in its testing phase. Therefore, it’s very near to getting a launch as Threads looks toward an expansion of both its partners and those working separately to analyze the situation further.
Threads will similarly combine APIs from ActivityPub and launch greater forms of connectivity too but the current status on that is stagnant as less focus is on development for such options right now.
The Threads app has seen its fair share of highs and lows in 2023 and one of the biggest ones has to be the massive 100 million subscriptions that it attained in record-breaking time. After that, it got up to 100 million users using the app each month, after it saw the launch.
But it has a lot to do with the fact that it’s got close ties to Instagram and the huge amplification that Meta is providing via cross-promotion of the app through both Instagram and Facebook.
Without such links, it wouldn’t be wrong to add that Threads would never attain success of that sort. The huge decisions being taken by Elon Musk for his X app are another reason for the archrival Threads to gain momentum.
Users are not happy with the tech billionaire and they’re looking for other options in terms of competitor apps that can get the job done of having their voices heard without a lot of fuss.
Now the question on plenty of people’s minds is how sustainable an app is Threads as far as the future is concerned. The team continues to take an innovative strategy in terms of promoting those posts that people engage with more, depending on the raw stats available.
And they’re not even including Trending Topics or adding hashtags, as was seen with others.
Now the question is how well the app does in 2024 and if it can keep up with its momentum and success as seen toward the closing of 2023.
