AdvertisementSensor Tower shows that Instagram downloads were up 20% in 2023 compared to 2022, in contrast to TikTok's 4% year-over-year growth. Instagram beat TikTok not only in growth, but sheer volume of app downloads in 2023: Instagram had 767 million while TikTok had 733 million. One reason is Threads, the newly launched Twitter competitor, which requires an Instagram account and may have prompted some people who were curious about Threads to re-download Instagram.

Instagram's new app, Threads, has dominated the discourse around Meta since its July 5 launch.

Mark Zuckerberg was "by far the most convicted" about launching Threads as a separate app, Mosseri said on the podcast. "But, the thing is, we're not a messaging app," Mosseri noted. Mosseri has a bias for simplicity and said he recognizes that the Instagram app is overrun with too many features.
