Threads launches mobile web version; find out what's new

livemint.com:

Threads via a mobile browser is now an option. I prefer accessing social media services through the mobile web rather than downloading an app." As per HT Tech, the introduction of a mobile web version is a significant relief for numerous Threads users who have voiced their frustration about the lack of such functionality. Until this recent update, manually navigating to a particular user's profile was feasible, but engaging in activities like browsing feeds, posting, replying, or logging in from browsers proved to be elusive.

Initially introduced as a mobile-first platform, Threads quickly amassed millions of users, surpassing even the popularity of ChatGPT. However, over time, waning interest resulted in a decrease in engagement, leading users to abandon the app. Recognizing the decline, both Mark Zuckerberg and Adam Mosseri had committed to providing a mobile web version for Threads.

Mosseri had previously revealed that the team was working on resolving bugs to improve the overall user experience. A significant factor contributing to user attrition on Meta's platforms, including Threads, was the demand for additional features. In contrast to well-established social media giants like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, Threads was confined to a view-only mode on desktop.
