Meta's social network, Threads, has surged to 275 million MAUs, the company announced on Sunday.

"Yesterday we crossed 275M monthly active users on @Threads. A big thank you to everyone who's helped us get this far. There's a lot more to do, and plenty of things to fix, but there's something exciting about this place," said Adam Mosseri, head of both Threads and Instagram within Meta.

Threads, which launched in July 2023 as an attempt to take advantage of the millions of users who were leaving X after Elon Musk bought the platform, has quickly gained users and is now becoming one of the biggest text-first social networks. The platform reached the 150 million MAU mark in April and 200 million MAUs in August, meaning it has gained 75 million active users in just 3 months.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said last week that a million people join Threads every day, citing this while speaking during the company's Q3 2024 post-results conference call.

Even though the platform is seeing an upward trend in user acquisition, Threads faces a host of moderation issues that have frustrated users.
