The Threads app, which aims to compete with Twitter, has amassed more than 100 million users within five days of its launch, beating the record set by AI-powered chatbot ChatGBT, according to new data released by the BBC.

Opened texts It hit smartphone app stores in over 100 countries around the world last Wednesday, but is not yet available in Europe due to the uncertainty of EU data privacy legislation.

Mark Zuckerberg, chief executive of Facebook-owned Metta, said the app had amassed 10 million users in the first seven hours of its launch, and had more than 30 million users by Thursday morning, roughly doubling that number 24 hours later.

While the app has amassed 100 million users, Threads’ user base is less than a third of Twitter’s, which is believed to be 350 million, according to figures from data site Quiver Quantitative.

Some Twitter users have grown frustrated since billionaire Elon Musk took over, and other Twitter competitors like Mastodon and Bluesky have emerged, but they’ve failed to garner a large user base.

Since the launch of Threads, rival Twitter has threatened legal action, and Twitter’s lawyer has alleged that Zuckerberg planned, willful and unlawfully misappropriated Twitter’s trade secrets and other intellectual property in order to create Threads.

Twitter alleged that Meta hired former employees who had and still have access to Twitter’s trade secrets and other confidential information. Meta denied the allegations.
