Up 20 Million, Threads Now Has More Than 150 Million Monthly Users

Threads is the platform with the fastest growing number of users, even though Meta's social media platform is less than a year old.

It is stated that Threads currently has 130 million active users as of April 2024. However, the platform is still 'missing' mandatory features on social media at this time.

nYup, Threads still doesn't have a Direct Message (DM) feature. This doesn't seem like it will last long.

Reported Engadget, Monday (15/4/2024), Meta is currently testing the DM feature in Threads. This is reinforced by a number of users of the new social media platform.

Reportedly, they found a “message” button on top of another Threads user's profile where the “mention” feature was usually located.

This is acknowledged by Meta. The company spokesperson said that they are currently testing the ability to send messages from Threads to Instagram.

For the record, Threads currently does not have its own inbox and it is not yet known whether it will have one.

Several times, Instagram head Adam Mosseri said he didn't want to create a separate inbox for Threads. However, he prefers “making the Instagram inbox work” within the app.

A Meta spokesperson also emphasized, “this trial is not a test of the DM feature in Threads.” Even if it isn't, the DM Threads feature will make the process of sending messages from the application easier.
