"Our goal is to reinvent the text, idea, and discussion experience for text and ideas by combining the greatest elements of Instagram. I'm thankful to everyone of you who have been a part of Threads from the beginning because I believe the world needs communities like this one. Threads is now accessible through the app store," he stated.

Meanwhile on Wednesday, Zuckerberg also made his debut on Threads writing "Let's do this. Welcome to Threads" along with a fire emoji. According to reports from Meta, and Zuckerberg himself, the app has already acquired over 5 million sign ups in the first four hours.
