For the first time, Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg disclosed that Threads has surpassed 100 million daily active users. He also indicated that if the current growth continues, the app could rival the social platform previously named Twitter.
Zuckerberg appears motivated to counter the rising success of Bluesky, highlighting a recent achievement in monthly active users.
Current Threads User Statistics
These figures were shared in a post on Threads, fittingly enough.
Threads is experiencing robust growth — currently over 300M monthly active users and 100M daily active users
The announcement received mixed reactions, with some commenters criticizing Meta’s $1M contribution to Trump’s inaugural fund.
Threads chief Adam Mosseri echoed Zuckerberg’s sentiments, expressing appreciation for the user community’s support.
A heartfelt thank you to this fast-growing community — together we’re creating something unique, and our goal is to enhance it even more in the coming year.
The Verge reports that Bluesky appears to have around 25 million users total, though the number of daily or monthly active users remains unknown. Regardless, it is evident that Threads is currently a much more popular platform.
Potential to Compete with X/Twitter
Social Media Today suggests that Threads could potentially close the gap with X.
Threads experienced a growth spurt from 100 million to 200 million users in 10 months, and it has now reached 300 million in less than half that time. Growth on social platforms often accelerates in this manner; as more users engage, additional users are attracted to join the conversation […]
If Threads continues its current growth trajectory, it may indeed approach X, which currently boasts 570 million monthly users.
Presently, Threads is the most downloaded application on the App Store, surpassing ChatGPT and TikTok.
