Meta’s social network, Threads, now has 275 million monthly active users (MAUs), the company said on Sunday.
“Yesterday we crossed 275M monthly active users on @Threads. A big thank you to everyone who’s helped us get this far. There’s a lot more to do, and plenty of things to fix, but there’s something exciting about this place,” said Adam Mosseri, the Meta executive who heads Threads and Instagram.
Threads, which launched in July 2023 in a bid to capitalize on the millions of users leaving X after Elon Musk bought the platform, has rapidly gained users and is now become one of the biggest text-first social networks. The platform reached the 150 million MAU mark in April and 200 million MAUs in August, meaning it has gained 75 million active users in just 3 months.
Last week, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said during the company’s Q3 2024 post-results conference call that a million people sign up to Threads every day.
While the platform’s user acquisition is trending upwards, Threads is facing a number of moderation issues that have frustrated users.
