SAN FRANCISCO, July 7 (Xinhua) -- Instagram Threads, a new app from Meta, is catching up to X in terms of mobile app users, according to new data from market intelligence provider Similarweb.

In June 2025, Threads' mobile app for iOS and Android saw 115.1 million daily active users, representing 127.8 percent year-on-year growth, while X reached 132 million daily actives, as its year-on-year growth declined by 15.2 percent.

The Meta-owned social network saw 15.3 million U.S. daily active users on iOS and Android compared with 22.9 million for X.

However, the new data suggests that Threads could become a more significant competitor for X across iOS and Android, as X still has a huge advantage on the web.

Similarweb found that X's worldwide daily web visits are well ahead of Threads', with the former seeing 145.8 million average daily web visits worldwide in June 2025, compared with just 6.9 million for Threads.

Threads has 350 million monthly active users, according to Meta's latest earnings report. X is no longer required to share metrics publicly as a private company. Its owner Elon Musk last year claimed that X has 600 million monthly active users. ■
