Meta’s Threads microblogging platform continues to grow rapidly. Threads now has more than 350 million monthly active users, up 30 million from the previous quarter, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said during the company’s Q1 2025 earnings call.
The new data suggests that Threads’ growth is accelerating. In the previous quarter, the platform added 20 million monthly active users, showing a notable increase this time around. It’s also worth highlighting that Threads has added nearly as many new users in a single month as its competitor Bluesky’s entire user base. The decentralized social app Bluesky currently has around 35 million users, according to the latest data.

Meanwhile, X CEO Linda Yaccarino shared on Wednesday that X now has approximately 600 million monthly active users. This marks a modest increase from January 2025, when the platform had 586 million users. While X still holds a larger user base, the steady rise of Threads positions it as a serious contender in the microblogging space, notes NIX Solutions.
Threads’ audience remains significantly smaller than Meta’s flagship platforms — Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp — yet its current trajectory underscores growing user interest. Meta reported that over 3.4 billion people use at least one of its apps every day.
Zuckerberg told investors that the strong momentum behind Threads suggests it could become Meta’s next major social app. While it’s still early days compared to Meta’s established platforms, the data signals potential for continued adoption and engagement. We’ll keep you updated as more information becomes available and as the platform evolves.
