Key Points:

A recent report from Similarweb reveals that Threads has surpassed X (formerly Twitter) in daily active mobile users, with 141.5 million on Android and iOS compared to X's 125 million.
Despite Threads' mobile growth, X maintains a significant lead in web visits, with 150 million daily visits versus Threads' 8.5 million.
The increase in Threads users appears to stem from new user discovery and integration with Instagram, rather than a direct migration of users from X.
Meta's strategy of interoperability between its apps, including Instagram and Threads, is driving user engagement and growth on Threads.
Threads continues to develop new features on mobile platforms to strengthen its identity and attract more users.
