You can also enable notifications from unfollowed accounts, and follow other users directly from your followers list. Meta says that you many need to restart the app or wait until the end of the day to see the new updates.

Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, said that "tens of millions of people" are returning to Threads everyday amid reports that the platform was witnessing a drop in active users soon after launch.

According to data from analytics firm Similarweb, Threads saw a decline of active users to 23.6 million on July 14, down from 49 million on July 7. In the US, Threads usage fell to 6 minutes compared to a peak of 21 minutes at launch.

Threads crossed 100 million users in less than five days after launch, making it one of the fastest growing social media platforms worldwide.
