Threads is a new microblogging app that was launched by Meta last week.
It is a text-based conversation platform which is linked to Instagram, allowing users to follow accounts they are already interested in on the photo-sharing platform.
Users can share their point of view in thread-like posts that appear very similar to tweets.
‘Threads is where communities come together to discuss everything from the topics you care about today to what’ll be trending tomorrow,’ Meta explained.
‘Whatever it is you’re interested in, you can follow and connect directly with your favorite creators and others who love the same things — or build a loyal following of your own to share your ideas, opinions and creativity with the world.’
While millions of users were quick to download the new app, many have noticed that it is draining their smartphone battery.
‘Is Threads just…murderous to anyone else’s battery?’ one user tweeted.
Another added: ‘Is Threads a drain on the iphone battery or did something change with the iphones lately? I’m not on the app hardly at all but lately my battery is draining way more than normal.’
