Overview
- Meta, which announced the milestone Tuesday, said Threads now has 500 million monthly active users and that daily activity is increasing strongly worldwide.
- The company credited growth to topic-focused Communities and is graduating Communities out of beta with a Communities Hub, distinct community icons, Community Progress tracking, expanded Community Champions, and native-language tags in select markets.
- Threads is launching Your Algo, a private tool that lets users request more or less of specific topics for one, three, or seven days; the feature begins rolling out in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand.
- Meta plans to expand Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding co-hosting and the ability to quote chat moments into the main feed to encourage real-time event and group-driven conversation.
- The milestone follows steady scale since Threads’ 2023 launch, including roughly 100 million new monthly users since August 2025, built on Instagram integration and a measured approach to monetization that aims to keep the app focused on community discovery and retention.
