As you remember, with the decision of the Competition Authority, Instagram’s X rival platform Threads was closed for users in Turkey. Since April 29, 2024, we have not been able to access Threads. A day after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that the number of Threads users had reached 170 million, the platform, which was shut down in Turkey, officially reached this milestone.
Threads continues to grow, reaching 200 million users
Instagram president Adam Mosseri confirmed on Threads that Twitter competitor Threads has reached 200 million active users. Meta reached this figure in just 13 months.
Threads’ worldwide growth continues unabated. The platform reached 150 million users in April 2024 and passed 175 million users on its first anniversary in July. With the growth in the last month, Threads has reached 200 million active users.
Threads’ main competitor X (formerly Twitter) had more than 600 million monthly users in May. Meta aims to offer Threads to its users as an alternative online discussion space.
Last year, Zuckerberg said Threads had the potential to reach more than a billion users. In the latest earnings call, the Meta CEO said that the platform is on a good growth curve and that they are observing deeper interactions. Zuckerberg added that they are improving the content recommendation system to keep users on the platform longer.
Meta hopes to reintroduce Threads to its users in Turkey as soon as possible. What do you think? Did you like Threads? Do you want to continue using it? Please don’t forget to share your thoughts with us in the comments section below.
