Threads now has 275M monthly active users

Meta’s social media platform, Threads, now has 275 million active users (MAUs), the company said on Sunday.

“Yesterday we surpassed 275M monthly active users on @Threads. A big thank you to everyone who helped us get here. There’s a lot to do, a lot to fix, but there’s something exciting about this place,” said Adam Mosseri, Meta’s CEO of Threads and Instagram.

Threads, which was launched in July 2023 in an attempt to win over the millions of users who left X after Elon Musk bought the platform, quickly gained users and is now one of the largest social networks of the first text. The platform reached the 150 million MAU mark in April and 200 million MAUs in August, which means it has gained 75 million active users in just 3 months.

Last week, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said during the company’s conference after the Q3 2024 results that a million people subscribe to Threads every day.

Although user adoption of the platform is trending upwards, Threads faces a number of moderation issues that have frustrated users.
