Threads Hits 400 Million Monthly Active Users

Instagram chief Adam Mosseri announced that Threads has reached 400 million monthly active users just two years after its launch.

“As of a few weeks ago (there are) more than 400 million people active on Threads every month,” he wrote.

“It's been quite the ride over the last two years. This started as a zany idea to compete with Twitter, and has evolved into a meaningful platform that fosters the open exchange of perspectives. I'm grateful to all of you for making this place what it is today 🙏🏼. There's so much work to do from our side, more to come,” he added.

Meanwhile, its rival X, owned by Elon Musk, has more than 600 million monthly active users, according to earlier statements from its former CEO Linda Yaccarino.

According to data from Similarweb, Threads is closing in on X’s daily mobile app users. In June 2025, Threads’ mobile app recorded 115.1 million daily active users, compared to 132 million for X.

However, X still leads significantly in daily global web visits. The Elon Musk–owned platform had 145.8 million daily web visits globally, while Threads recorded just 6.9 million.
