Threads surpasses X in daily mobile usage with 141.5 million daily active users compared to X's 125 million.
Threads' growth is attributed to cross-promotion via Meta's apps, focus on creators, and rapid feature rollout.
X faces controversies, including an investigation into its AI, Grok, for creating non-consensual deepfake images.
Bluesky sees increased app installs amid X's controversies.
Threads has added features like communities, DMs, and disappearing posts, and is testing games.

X still leads in the U.S. and on the web, but Threads is narrowing the gap.
