Meta’s social network, Threads, now has 275 million monthly active users (MAU), the company said on Sunday.
“Yesterday, @Threads surpassed 275 million monthly active users. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who helped me get to this point. There’s a lot of work to do and fix, but there’s something exciting here,” said Adam Mosseri, a Meta executive who leads Threads and Instagram.
Launched in July 2023 to capitalize on the millions of users leaving X after Elon Musk acquired the platform, Threads quickly gained users and is now one of the largest text-first social networks. The platform reached 150 million MAU in April and 200 million MAU in August. This means it has reached 75 million active users in just three months.
Last week, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on a conference call after the company’s third quarter 2024 results that one million people join Threads every day.
While the platform’s user acquisition is on the rise, Threads is facing a number of scaling issues that are frustrating its users.
