Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, the owner of the Instagram application, announced that the Threads platform in the application reached 130 million monthly active users in the last quarter of 2023, increasing the number of users by approximately 30 million in just a few months.
Threads announced growth at the end of 2023! Exactly 130 million usersThreads is known to be a competitor to Elon Musk’s X app. The great tension between Zuckerberg and Musk for this reason once again revealed the importance of text-oriented social media applications. But Threads is not X’s only competitor. The company has many geared competitors such as Bluesky, Mastodon and Nostr.While Mark Zuckerberg claimed that Threads is taking firm steps despite receiving many criticisms, he said that the platform’s re-growth trend promises great hope for the future. According to Zuckerberg, it is easy to reach more than 1 billion active users on its platform within a few years. It looks like Threads will continue to be a significant threat to X.
It is known that the server problems experienced from time to time in X and the radical policies implemented by Musk to increase the income of the application played an important role in the rapid development of Threads. The platform appeared as the 6th most downloaded application on the Apple App Store and Google Play platforms last December.
Threads, which was seen as a short-lived medium by many authorities, made an unexpected comeback, although it seemed to justify these criticisms at first. The platform, which continues to easily attract many users on Instagram, seems to be a headache for Musk, who purchased X, formerly known as Twitter, with a large investment.
