Richard Arnold: US correspondent says new Threads app is a significant move from Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Thirty-million users have signed up for Mark Zuckerberg's newly-launched Threads app on its first day.

The owner of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp - Meta - has released its direct competitor to Elon Musk's Twitter, which offers a text-based version of Instagram.

US correspondent Richard Arnold told Tim Dower this is a significant move from the Meta boss.

He says Zuckerberg hopes to turn Threads into a 'mega app', something Zuckerberg says Musk has failed to do with Twitter.
