Threads daily users drop 61% post-peak, Meta disputes data

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

New data from Apptopia suggests that Threads, Meta's Twitter competitor, has seen a significant decline in daily active users since its peak in October 2024, dropping by 61 percent. While Threads briefly surpassed X in US daily users in early 2024, its usage has fallen more sharply than X's, which has remained relatively flat. Meta has disputed Apptopia's findings, citing eMarketer predictions of substantial user growth for Threads this year. AI
