Meta's X (Twitter) competitor, Threads, is marking its first anniversary with a celebratory milestone and a fun new feature for users.

In just one year since its launch, Threads has amassed an impressive 175 million users, showcasing rapid growth in the social media landscape.

Birthday Celebration Feature

To commemorate its first birthday, Threads has introduced a playful new element:

• Users can now add a virtual birthday party hat to their profile.
• To enable this feature, simply create a post with the tag "Threads birthday".
• The birthday hat will be available until July 12, 2024, giving users ample time to join in the celebration.

This combination of significant user growth and engaging features demonstrates Threads' commitment to user engagement and platform growth as it competes in the dynamic social media market.

As Threads blows out its first candle, it's clear that Meta's newest platform is quickly becoming a major player in the social media space.
