According to the Wall Street Journal, social networking company Meta will launch the online version of Threads, an app that competes with X formerly Twitter, in the coming week.
According to the source, Meta intends to release Threads on the internet early this coming week, although these are preliminary plans that might alter. A few Threads posts have been accessible to users online, but accessibility has been restricted because Threads was created with users of mobile phones in mind.
The web-based version of Threads is now being evaluated within the organisation according to Adam Mosseri, the chief executive officer of Threads and Instagram, who also verified this last week.
Replying to a comment on Threads, Mosseri noted, “We’re working on it! We’ve been using an early version internally for a week or two. Still needs some work before we can open it up to everyone though…”

The following tab and the option for users to confirm a connection to their Mastodon profile are recent additions to Threads’ feature set. According to the WSJ article, Threads began labelling regulated media organisations as of Thursday to curb misinformation and propaganda.
Mosseri mentioned that the Threads online version has only recently begun internal evaluation and still needs some work before it can be made available to the public. A new “Reposts” option on profiles, which enables users to examine all the topics they have republished in one place, was also introduced by him. Reposts will also be added to users’ Following Feeds.
In response to user questions, Mosseri said that the online version will be released before foldable device compatibility. He acknowledged that the online version is now at a high point of development.

To compete with social networking site X and gain the favour of some of the members upset with the modifications made by owner Elon Musk, Threads was introduced on July 5. The social network app was enthusiastically greeted by users, and within a week it had reached the milestone of 100 million active users per month. However, as per SimialrWeb statistics from August 7, Threads’ active user base has already shrunk to about 10 million.
Comparatively, Insider Intelligence calculated that X gets about 363.7 million active users each month. X stated that it had 237.8 million active users on a daily basis in its most recent quarterly earnings, which were released in July of last year.
