Mark Zuckerberg has focused his attention towards boosting retention on Thread (twitter rival) after the app lost more than half of all of its users weeks after its launch.
The CEO said this to employees on Thursday July 27.
“Obviously, if you have more than 100 million people sign up, ideally it would be awesome if all of them or even half of them stuck around. We’re not there yet,” he said.
Meta will introduce new features to the app including a desktop version and a search button.
Meta is keen to add more “retention-driving hooks” to entice users to return to Threads like “making sure people who are on Instagram app can see important threads.
Mark Zuckerberg told employees that he believed Meta’s work on virtual reality technology was “not massively a head of schedule, but on track.”
He said, Meta must start investing in that work a head of rivals such as Microsoft and Apple.
“That way, we have all the tools ready for when this is ready for prime time,” he said, predicting that mass adoption of metaverse technologies would take place in the 2030s.
Mark Zuckerberg also revealed that Meta will release an artificial intelligence model which will be called Llama 2 in July. The AI technology was made readily available to any developer with less than 700 million users.
The model has been downloaded 150,000 times in the week since its release according to senior officials from Meta.
