Messaging app Threads sees a surge in downloads as businesses look for Slack alternatives

Threads offer features such as quick voice memos and messaging suggestions.

Threads, a messaging app released by Instagram, is seeing a spike in downloads as it has become a popular Slack alternative for many businesses and remote teams. While the app is completely unrelated to Instagram, it has seen a 124% increase in downloads in just the last three months. The app has been around since October 2019, and it has been touted as a messaging app designed specifically for close friends. However, as businesses adapt to remote working, Threads has been growing in popularity as a Slack alternative. Threads offer features such as quick voice memos and messaging suggestions.

 While it is not specifically aimed at businesses, its features make it an excellent communication tool for teams working remotely. The app integrates with Instagram, allowing users to easily share photos and videos, as well as view and respond to messages, all within the Threads app. With remote work becoming the norm for many companies, messaging apps like Threads are becoming increasingly popular. Slack is still the leading messaging app for businesses, but Threads is gaining traction as a simpler, more user-friendly alternative. Threads have become a popular choice for remote teams looking for an efficient communication tool that helps keep them connected and productive.
