Doesn’t every Instagram user automatically have a Threads account now?
To my knowledge, no. They just have a 1-click on-boarding process that you’re constantly harrassed about doing.
Comment on Threads is nearing X's daily app users, new data shows

Doesn’t every Instagram user automatically have a Threads account now? (Even if they’re unaware of it.)
Meta faking Threads user count that way on top of what’s happened with X user count would explain this “milestone” quite easily.

Not sure now, as I stopped using it months ago, but no, they give you annoying teasers and force you to make an account to see more than the cropped pic. So people are actually signing up for this.

That doesn’t count against daily users. The teasers in instagram are so bad that I just refuse to install another fucking app to pickle my brain faster. I’ll be over here huffing farts like it’s 2006 thanks

How do you know it doesn’t count against daily active users?
No one I know uses threads. When I tried it and followed the same public people I do on Twitter, their posts on threads had like 1% of the likes/shares/comments they had on Twitter.
Meta would absolutely lie to make threads seem more active than it is to try and get people to use it.
