News & Reviews:   daily active users

According to the latest data from Similarweb, at the beginning of this month, Threads had 141.5 million daily active users (DAU) on the smartphone app compared to X, which had 125 million DAU. That said, what should you know about it?

With X (Twitter) losing its user base, you'd think Threads was well-positioned to take over. But that's not the case, with the latter's daily active user count falling by over 80% within a month. Fortunately, an upcoming update could turn things around.

When Threads first launched, it was met with hype and excitement for Internet users to explore the platform. However, half of the daily active users on Threads were gone after a week, and right now, the platform continues to drop drastically before reaching a month.

It's been more than a week since Threads by Instagram launched. As always, it was met with enthusiasm on how it would compete with Twitter. It even crossed over 100 million users in just five days but it seems that the hype has gone down considerably.
