As of the third quarter of 2025, Meta's Threads had approximately 400 million monthly active users (MAU), up from 200 million MAU in the third quarter of 2024. Just 24 hours after the release of Threads in July 2023, 30 million people were using the new network from Meta Platforms.

Meta Platforms released a new social media platform called Threads on 5th July 2023, which is available in over 100 countries, excluding the European Union. Within two hours of its release, two million users had signed up for Threads, and within 24 hours, 30 million people were on the new online network. As of July 10th, the number of sign-ups reached 100 million. Users can post up to 500 characters on Threads, and the service offers numerous features that are comparable to those on Twitter and is verified via users' Instagram accounts.

On 5th July 2023, Meta Platforms released Threads, a text-focused social media platform. Joining Meta's Family of Apps, Threads focuses on real-time conversations, giving users a similar experience to Twitter. Threads offers users 500 characters per post, in comparison to Twitter's 280 characters. However, for Twitter Blue subscribers, posts can be substantially longer. Threads users can also take advantage of longer video posts, and free verification through their Instagram accounts.

A bolt out of the (Twitter) blue

As the tech elite attempt to fill the Twitter-shaped hole that social media users are feeling since the platform’s recent changes, the company is offering users the chance to verify themselves on the platform. The famous blue check mark, once reserved for journalists, celebrities, and public figures, can be purchased for a monthly fee. As of April 2023, there 640 thousand people were subscribing to Twitter Blue, up from 290 thousand in February 2023.

Threads is off to a strong start

Creating a profile on Threads is easy for Meta product users who already have an Instagram account as the new and free-to-use platform is integrated into the widely used app. With around two billion monthly active users on Instagram, it is no surprise that Threads gained 30 million sign-ups within 24 hours of being launched. Although signing up for Threads is easy, quitting the platform is not so straightforward, as deleting a Threads account results in the deactivation of the linked Instagram account.

As per wikipedia page

Threads is an online social media and social networking service operated by Meta Platforms. The app offers users the ability to post and share text, images, and videos, as well as interact with other users' posts through replies, reposts, and likes. Closely linked to Meta platform Instagram and additionally requiring users to both have an Instagram account and use Threads under the same Instagram handle, the functionality of Threads is similar to X (formerly known as Twitter). The application is available on iOS and Android devices; the web version offers limited functionality and requires a mobile app install first. It is the fastest-growing consumer software application in history, gaining over 100 million users in its first five days, surpassing the record previously set by ChatGPT. Its early success was not sustained and the user base of the app plummeted more than 80% to 8 million daily active users by the end of July.
