    In comparison to X (formerly Twitter) with around 550 million monthly active users, Threads has room for growth. Meta is actively investing to scale the app, addressing initial usage decline issues by swiftly introducing key features like keyword search and multiple account support.

    Meta’s focused efforts on enhancing Threads with features such as editing capabilities, voice posts, improved discovery, and more have yielded positive results.

    Daily downloads nearly tripled to 28 million in December. The app’s expansion into the EU and increased integration with Instagram profiles further contributed to its growth.

    Looking ahead, Meta’s CFO stated that the company is committed to scaling Threads’ community even further by introducing additional features and enhancements throughout 2024.

  • Why did Virat Kohli withdraw his name from the Test series against England, special friend AB de Villiers made a big revelation

  • Massive Wildfires In Chile Kills 51, Toll Expected to Climb | world news

    Forest fires raging in central Chile have killed at least 51 people and the death toll is likely to keep climbing, authorities said on Saturday, as emergency services battled to snuff out flames threatening urban areas.

    Black smoke billowed into the sky over many parts of the Valparaiso region, home to nearly one million inhabitants in central Chile, while firefighters using helicopters and trucks struggled to quell the fires.

    Areas around the coastal tourist city of Vina del Mar have been some of the hardest hit and rescue teams were struggling to reach all the affected areas, Chilean authorities said.

    The death toll rose when five bodies were found on public roads, and information indicates “we are going to reach much higher figures” in coming hours, said Interior Minister Carolina Toha.

    “The condition of Valparaiso is the most delicate,” Toha said, saying the country was facing its worst disaster since a 2010 earthquake that killed about 500.

    President Gabriel Boric told the nation in a televised address, “The situation is really very difficult.”

    Wildfires are not uncommon in Chile over summer months. Last year, on the back of a record heat wave, some 27 people died and more than 400,000 hectares (990,000 acres) were affected.

    “The area with fires today is much smaller than last year, (but) at this time the number of hectares affected is multiplying very rapidly,” Toha said.

    Between Friday and Saturday the area affected by the wildfires increased to 43,000 hectares (110,000 acres) from 30,000.

    Toha said the authorities’ greatest concern was that some of the active fires were developing very close to urban areas “with the very high potential to affect people, homes and facilities.”

    Raipur.

    Former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel raised questions on Evm and said, when the machine can be repaired from here on another planet, then what is the big deal about Evm. If Pentagon and PM’s account can be hacked then what is the big deal with EVM? Congress Party’s stand from the beginning has been that elections should be held through ballot. EVMs can be hacked.

    Bhupesh Baghel further said, after we won in 2018, the civic elections were conducted through ballot. We won in that also. When we win, questions are raised and when we lose, we raise questions on EVMs. Now the issue regarding EVM has reached the lower level.
