Threads Surpasses X In Mobile Usage

TechCrunch reported Jan. 18, citing Similarweb data, that Threads now has more daily mobile users than Elon Musk’s X, with 141.5 million on iOS and Android versus X’s 125 million as of Jan. 7. X still leads web visits (about 150 million daily). The report links Threads’ mobile growth to longer-term trends rather than recent Grok deepfake controversies and investigations.
