Meta's Subsidiary Platform Threads Now Leads its Rival X in Mobile Engagement.

A recent report from Similarweb reveals that Meta-owned social media platform Threads has surpassed its main competitor, Elon Musk's X, in terms of mobile app popularity. The analytics company found that Threads currently boasts 141.5 million daily active users on both iOS and Android platforms, significantly outpacing X, which counts a mere 125 million daily active users.

While X still maintains a substantial lead among web-based users, with over 140 million daily active users compared to Threads' 7.7 million, the mobile app metrics indicate that Threads has emerged as the more popular platform in this regard. The data suggests that Threads is gaining ground on X, and its growth trend appears to be long-term rather than short-lived.

The recent controversy surrounding a malfunctioning chatbot on X's parent company has been cited as a potential factor contributing to this shift in mobile engagement. Meanwhile, Bluesky, another social media platform owned by the same conglomerate, experienced a surge in downloads during the crisis, with its daily downloads increasing by 50% according to Appfigures.

It remains to be seen whether Threads' ascension will continue unabated or if X's reputation will recover from this scandal, potentially altering the dynamics between these two social media platforms.
 
Threads is killing it right now 🤯! I mean, who knew Meta had that kind of tech under their belt? It's not surprising they're taking down X in mobile engagement, though - the whole chatbot debacle was pretty cringeworthy 😂. Bluesky getting a boost in downloads during all that chaos is a nice cherry on top, but let's be real, we should've seen this coming. Meta's always been about innovation and staying ahead of the curve 💡. It'll be interesting to see how X recovers from this mess and whether Threads continues its winning streak 🔥💻
 
Ugh, I don't trust it... one minute X is all over the place and then suddenly Threads swoops in like a dark horse? What's really going on here? Are they just playing with people's emotions to get more downloads? And what about those 50% daily downloads of Bluesky during the whole mess? Sounds too good (or bad?) to be true... I bet there's some kind of hidden agenda behind this. Threads' growth trend is probably just a fluke and X will come crashing back down once people realize they were duped into using the other platform 😒
 
🤔 Threads is killin' it right now! 💥 I mean, who knew Meta's new platform would take down X in mobile engagement? 📈 The fact that Threads has 141.5 million daily active users is insane! 😲 And yeah, the controversy on X didn't help matters - you gotta feel for Elon and his team #TeamThreads 👍🏻 But seriously, it'll be interesting to see how this plays out long-term... will Threads keep growing or will X make a comeback? 🤞 Can't wait to stay tuned! 💬
 
omg is it normal for social media platforms to have so many problems tho? i mean like chatbots malfunctioning and stuff... 😳 140 million daily active users on x seems a lot but what's the point of having that many people if you can't even get your own platform right lol. does anyone use x just for the sake of it or is there something specific they're looking for? 🤔
 
I just got back from the most random trip to the park yesterday 🌳 and I saw a guy playing with his kid on the swings, and it made me think about how our phones can be such a distraction in real life... like, we're glued to them for hours on end, but then we spend so little time actually interacting with people around us. My kid is at that age where they just want to play outside all day, you know? I wish I could do that more often... anyway, back to Threads and X... yeah, it'll be interesting to see what happens next 🤔
 
😊 I think it's pretty cool that Threads is killing it on mobile! 141.5 million daily active users is a huge number and it's awesome that they're able to outpace X in terms of engagement. Maybe people just prefer the vibe of Threads? 🤔 I also heard about Bluesky and how its downloads surged during the X controversy, that's kinda wild! It's always interesting to see these social media platforms go head-to-head and see what comes out on top. Can't wait to see if Threads can keep this momentum going! 💪
 
I'm loving how Threads is on fire right now 🚀📱! I mean, who wouldn't want a more reliable and user-friendly experience on their mobile? It's crazy to think that just a few months ago, people were all about X, but now it seems like the underdog has finally caught up. That chatbot drama definitely hurt X's rep, but Threads is seizing the opportunity and running with it 💪.

I'm curious to see how this plays out in the long run – will Threads keep growing and overtake X for good? Or will X somehow bounce back from that scandal? Either way, I'm here for more choice and competition in the social media space 🤩. It's all about giving people options and letting them decide what works best for them 👍.
 
I don’t usually comment but I got curious about this Threads thing... seems like they've caught up with X in terms of mobile engagement 🤔. Not surprising though, people are always glued to their screens and apps on the go. The whole chatbot drama on X's side might've actually helped Threads gain some traction... you never know how these things work out 💸. It'll be interesting to see if this trend continues or if X recovers from that scandal 📊.
 
omg threads is on fire rn 🚀 i mean its crazy how they're outpacing x in mobile engagement, considering bluesky was a total mess during that chatbot crisis lol. but for real, what's going on with meta? can't their other subbies catch up?! anyway, i'm low-key excited about threads' growth tho, maybe we'll finally see some decent features on this platform 🤞
 
lolol i was sayin threads is gettin it on mobile for sure 📱💥 141 million daily active users is crazy! x can't touch that 💔 now that bluesky saw a spike in downloads cuz of x's chatbot drama i'm lowkey curious if this means threads will just keep takin the lead 🤔
 
omg can't believe x is getting roasted by threads in mobile app popularity 🤯 threads has been doing some sneaky stuff i think meta made a solid move acquiring bluesky btw
 
Threads is killin' it on mobile! 🚀 It's like they say: when life gives you lemons, make lemonade - but in this case, when life gives you a chatbot crisis, create a platform that users actually wanna use, ya feel? 💡 Threads is showing us that sometimes you gotta adapt and improve to stay ahead of the game. Don't be stuck on what's familiar, innovate and take risks! It's all about finding your unique sauce in the market. And btw, it's interesting how Bluesky benefited from X's crisis... maybe we can learn something from their success? 🤔
 
omg I'm not surprised at all that threads is finally ahead of x in mobile engagement 🤯 it's been obvious for ages that threads was more polished and user-friendly on the go... I mean, have you tried using x on your phone? it's a total mess 🚮 like, what's going on with those weird font sizes and how do you even scroll through posts without losing your mind?! 😂 meanwhile threads just looks like a super smooth Instagram experience 📸💻
 
🤔 I'm not surprised to hear that Threads is gaining traction on mobile - its clean and minimalistic design really resonates with people who just want to have a more relaxed online experience 📱💻. At the same time, X's reputation has taken a hit due to that chatbot fiasco... it's like when you're trying to order food at your favorite cafe, but the staff is super stressed and unhelpful 😩. You might end up choosing another cafe altogether! I'm curious to see how both platforms will bounce back from this - and if there are any other factors contributing to Threads' rise 🤔💡
 
🤔 threads is killing it on mobile and i'm not surprised tbh 📱 they've been pushing out some fire content lately 👀 what's interesting is how bluesky is doing tho 🚀 50% increase in downloads? that's crazy 📈 hope x recovers from the chatbot drama tho, but for now, threads is on a roll 💪
