Threads Reaches 175 Million Monthly Active Users in One Year, Mark Zuckerberg Highlights India as Key Market
Meta Has Yet to Disclose Country-Specific User Statistics, Including Active Users in India
Threads, Meta’s alternative to X (formerly Twitter), has achieved a significant milestone, surpassing 175 million monthly active users just one year after its launch. The platform, which was introduced on July 6 of the previous year, has been gaining traction as a new space for microblogging and social interaction. According to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, India has emerged as one of the most active markets for Threads, with Indian users frequently engaging on the platform.
Meta’s announcement highlights the platform’s growth and its broadening user base, but it stops short of providing detailed country-wise statistics. While the exact number of users from India remains undisclosed, the company’s blog post indicates that Threads is seeing substantial engagement from the region. Indian users are reportedly among the most active, regularly sharing their thoughts and participating in discussions on various topics.
The microblogging service has also noted that it now hosts over 50 million topic tags, reflecting a diverse range of conversations and interests among its users. This extensive tagging system is designed to facilitate easier navigation and participation in relevant discussions, further encouraging user engagement.
Despite the lack of specific figures for Indian users, Meta’s acknowledgment of India’s active role on Threads underscores the country’s growing influence in the digital space. As Threads continues to expand, it will be interesting to see how the platform evolves and whether it can maintain its momentum in the competitive social media landscape.
The platform’s success in India and its ability to attract a significant user base so quickly speaks to its potential to shape conversations and trends in the digital sphere. As Threads evolves, it will likely continue to emphasize user engagement and topical discussions, leveraging its growing user base to refine its features and offerings.
