The app, led by Instagram head Adam Mosseri, has been growing at a remarkable pace. In just two years, Threads has managed to attract a substantial user base, positioning itself as a formidable competitor to Elon Musk's X (formerly Twitter) [3]. This rapid growth is particularly notable given that X has a larger user base of approximately 600 million MAUs [1].
Meta's Threads has seen impressive daily active user (DAU) growth on mobile devices. As of June 2025, Threads had 115.1 million daily active mobile users, representing a 127.8% increase compared to the previous year [3]. While X still leads in daily mobile users with 132 million, Threads is closing the gap rapidly [1].
However, Threads lags behind X in terms of daily web visits. X saw 145.8 million daily web visits in June, compared to Threads' 6.9 million [1]. This disparity highlights an area where Threads can focus on improving to better compete with X.
The app's success can be attributed to its unique features and community-driven approach. Unlike X, Threads is not trying to be a carbon copy. Instead, it has fostered new communities with a friendlier tone and added features such as trending topics, live sports scores, and integration with the fediverse [1]. These features have contributed to its appeal and rapid user growth.
Despite the impressive milestone, Meta's Threads still has a long way to go to reach its billion-user goal set by CEO Mark Zuckerberg [1]. However, the recent growth suggests that the app is well on its way to becoming a significant player in the social media landscape.
