Threads launched last July, timed to win users from X, formerly known as Twitter, during its chaotic takeover by Elon Musk.
Meta Platforms’ newest social media offering Threads has over 175 million monthly active users, CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed on Wednesday, ahead of its first anniversary.
A challenger to X, formerly known as Twitter, Threads hit app stores on July 5 last year, timed to win users from the de facto microblogging site during its chaotic takeover by billionaire Elon Musk.
It garnered 100 million users in less than a week, partly because of an easy way for users of the popular platform Instagram to set up their Threads profiles, but some early users subsequently dropped off.
