Key stat: Of US Gen Zers on Threads, 40.1% downloaded the platform because it looked fun, while 38.7% wanted to try something new, according to our survey data.
Beyond the chart:
- Gen Zers are curious for a new social platform, but they don’t necessarily want to replace X/Twitter, with just 19.5% saying they were looking for an alternative.
- But it seems unlikely Threads will be the hot new app for Gen Z, as more than 80% of the Meta-owned platform’s active users have departed.
-
Threads is still innovating and will launch a web browser version later this week.
