Threads, the rival to Twitter \u2014 er, X \u2014 that Meta Platforms Inc. launched in early July, will add a desktop version this week, the Wall Street Journal reported Sunday.<\/p>\n

A desktop version has been one of users\u2019 top requests after a chronological timeline, which Threads recently added. While Threads links can be viewed on the web, a desktop-native version could help promote the service to a wider audience across the internet, experts told the Journal.<\/p>\n

\n

On Friday, Instagram head Adam Mosseri said a desktop version of Threads was in the works. \u201cIt\u2019s a little bit buggy right now, you don\u2019t want it just yet,\u201d he said on Instagram. \u201cAs soon as it is ready we will share it with everybody else.\u201d<\/p>\n

Threads was rushed to market in July following widespread user frustration of changes Elon Musk has made to X. After jumping out to more than 100 million signups in its first few days, Threads has seen its user-growth and engagement numbers sink in the subsequent weeks.<\/p>\n

Still, Meta Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said in July that signups were \u201cway ahead of what we expected,\u201d and expressed confidence in the platform\u2019s long-term success.<\/p>\n

Musk sparked a new wave of outrage on Friday when he announced plans to eliminate the ability to block people on X \u2014 a basic safety function that would apparently also violate the terms of service of Apple Inc.\u2019s
