Threads has crossed the 175 million mark, a year after the platform was launched as an alternative to X (formerly known as Twitter). The microblogging service owned by Meta was launched on July 6 last year. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg also revealed that India has emerged as one of its most active markets. In an blog post published on Thursday, the social networking giant shared that Indian s regularly use Threads to share their thoughts and opinions on a wide array of topics.

While Meta announced on Thursday that Threads has onboarded over 175 million monthly active s, it did not share the number of its s from India or other country-specific statistics. The service now has 50 million topic tags, according to the Facebook parent firm.
