Threads Gaining Support for Analytics, Scheduling Posts, Multiple Drafts and More

Threads, Meta's social network that's meant to rival X, today announced several new features that are available or coming soon. For creators, Threads is launching analytics for performance measurement.

instagram threads app
Users can see view numbers, replies, reposts, and quotes, along with follower count over time and follower demographics like age, location, and gender.

Threads on the web is gaining support for writing and saving multiple drafts of posts before sharing them with an audience. Up to 100 ideas can be saved in the new Drafts section. To go along with drafts, Threads plans to add scheduling, so Threads can be created and scheduled to go up at a later date and time. Multiple posts can be scheduled per day, multiple days in advance.

While these features are available only on the web at the current time, Threads plans to bring them to the mobile versions of the app in the future. Insights and multiple drafts are rolling out now, and scheduling posts will be coming soon.

It has now been just over a year since Threads launched, and it has over 28 million daily active users. Meta has been regularly adding new features to the social network to put it on par with X (formerly Twitter).

Where did that end up?
28m DAUs, 200m MAUs. Pretty good numbers for a year old social network.

And has left Twitter so desperate for money they are having to sue brands for not advertising.

The allegedly freestanding legitimate social network that doesn’t do news and yet not a single celebrity with a massive following on real platforms will post on it…

But I guess if they burned that much money on their Second Life knock-off, they can keep this going infinitely.

Maybe they can get thirsty wannabe influencers to pay to promote their “viral“ stories they steal from Tiktok and Reddit.

As much as “it all happens on X” is a hilarious Linda Yaccarino meme for the ages…nothing happens on Threads
Threads is a lot more interesting to me because of all the smaller tech personalities that left Twitter the same time I did. Twitter became super toxic IMO, I don't really see any of that on threads on my feed. It has a lot of daily and monthly active users now, it's just a different platform than Twitter (all in a good way for how I use it).
