Facebook’s new app breaks this ChatGPT record
Meanwhile, Facebook parent Meta Platform recently launched its Twitter rival app Threads. Within just five days of its launch, the newly introduced Threads app garnered over 100 million sign-ups, as revealed by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a post on the Threads platform. This achievement establishes Threads as the fastest-growing online platform to reach such a significant milestone, surpassing the growth rate of ChatGPT.
Surpassing the record set by OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which became the fastest-growing consumer app in history back in January, the app’s journey to reaching 100 million users was remarkably swift. OpenAI’s chatbot achieved this milestone two months after its launch, while the newly introduced app accomplished the same feat in an even shorter timeframe.
