Meta owner, Mark Zuckerberg, has expressed delight at the success of his newest social application addition, Threads.

Taking to the new application to share the good news with users, he said the number of people who have signed up thus far is not only impressive but has also exceeded Meta’s expectations.

“70 million sign-ups on Threads as of this morning. Way beyond our expectations,” he wrote.

The Meta boss also assured app users of ongoing improvements that will make the application user-friendly.

We reports that since its inception, it has seen widespread adoption from people all over the world.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu recently announced his arrival on the app, joining other notable political figures and celebrities such as Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun, MrMacaroni, Woli Arole, Linda Ikeji, and a host of others.
