The great technological technological ones give the teleworking, but the data tell a different story: it has doubled

by

In recent months, the great US technological ones They have hardened your policies return to your offices and Eliminating teleworking optionswhile They bet for the accelerated development of AI. However, the Spanish labor market does not follow the same trend with respect to teleworking. The data collected for the report ‘V Telework radiography in Spain September 2025‘ Prepared by Infojobs, they reveal that although it is true that the percentages have fallen with respect to the records from 2020 to 2022, the teleworking has remained stable at levels that double those recorded before 2020. Teleworking in Spain. While in Silicon Valley the headlines proliferate on the end of teleworking, In Spain, work flexibility takes a different path. The data collected by the Infojobs Employment Portal indicate that Spain has maintained sustained growth in terms of Teleworking adoption. 25% of workers currently perform their activity with some remote work formula or in hybrid format. The Last data Of 2024 of the Active Population Survey, they point out that 7.8% of the total active population worked at least half of its weekly day from home, compared to 7.6% who claimed to do it occasionally. In absolute figures, this represents a total of 3.2 million people, placing the percentage of teleworking in Spain around 15.4% of the total employed people working remote. This figure is well above 6% registered in 2019 by the INE, or of 8.3% that was recorded just before pandemic. Source: Infojobs Hybrid work: the balance between flexibility and availability. One of the keys to Teleworking success In Spain it is in its Evolution towards hybrid formatsin which face -to -face days with teleworking days. According to the Infojobs report, 44% of those who telework do so using this hybrid model with between one and four days of remote work. 24% telework two days per week, while 21% of employees who claim teleworking maintain 100% remote activity. The availability of options It has been varying In recent years and, at present, 46% of companies offer some remote work format. Of that group, only 11% of the companies maintain a 100% remote model, marking a decrease with respect to the 12% registered in 2024, but compensated for this fall with more employment offers with hybrid work, which rises from 33% to 35% in just one year. Source: Infojobs Leading sectors on teleworking. While many sectors have experienced an increase in the number of Job offers with teleworkingthe commercial and sales sector leads both in number of workers who exercise remotely and in the volume of new vacancies (39,184 published offers). In the opposite pole, the sectors with less remote work offers are the pharmacist (283 vacancies) and graphic design and arts (499 offers). As for the weight of teleworking by sectors, the sector that most remote employment offers has published is that of computer science and telecommunications (68%) followed closely by legal (58%) and finance (52%). That is, seven out of ten programmers, computer engineers or people, work under some remote work model. According to the study, the sectors with the lowest incidence of teleworking are those inevitably face -to -face, such as tourism and restoration, artisans and trades or health and health, which record values ​​below 1%. Who and where he works remotely. Among the most demanded profiles with teleworking options are, as indicated by sectoral data, IT analysts, Backend and Border developers, ICT consultants and fullstack engineers. All of them with teleworking options between 75 and 90% of the published offers. From the geographical point of view, a curious phenomenon happens and the concentration of teleworking is based on the nature of the predominant industry in that area, instead of allowing disintegration throughout the national territory. This phenomenon is due to hybrid work that, although it allows you to reduce displacements to the office, maintains anchoring with the territory by reducing the chances of workers to move to live outside the community in which the company for which they work for. The greatest proportion focuses in Madrid (40%), followed by Catalonia (19%) and Andalusia (11%), areas with strong presence of technological, commercial and financial companies.

There are users selling their Wrapped data to train AI models. Spotify has not taken it well

by

Did you ever think you could make money with your Spotify data? What for many is only an annual summary with favorite songs and artists, for others it is a source of real value. An increasing group of users has decided sell your listening history To train artificial intelligence models. Spotify, which has turned Wrapped In one of its most recognizable brands, it has not taken long to react and the tension is served. Wrapped was born in 2015 as a tool to visualize listening habits and became a global tradition. Today, its popularity has given rise to UNWRappeda collective managed by the decentralized platform Vain. More than 18,000 users have grouped their data to sell them to interested companies. According to Ars Technicain June they achieved their first sale: a portion of data for $ 55,000 to only AI, with an average payment of about five dollars in cryptocurrencies for each participant. Wrapped is no longer just marketing: it is the center of a data control fight The interest in these data is not accidental: Spotify collects a detailed history of each account, searches, devices, approximate locations and technical records. All of that is available to any user through a Official download option, which offers packages in JSON format with years of history and precise data on the use of the platform. But although access is legal, its use has clear limits in the terms of Spotify. The policy for developers It prohibits using Spotify data or contents to train artificial intelligence models, resell information or replicate essential functions of the platform without permission. Spotify confirmed to the aforementioned medium that he sent a letter to those responsible for UNWRAPPed warning that the project could violate its registered trademark and violate these policies. The company insists that users can download their data, but does not authorize that they are monetic through third parties. UNWRAPPED pagethat until recently allowed to register and sell data, is no longer available. At the time of publishing this article, an English message appears that we have translated: “This service is no longer available. We regret the inconvenience. If you have any questions, get in touch with support. ”It is not clear if the closure responds to Spotify actions or a decision of the developers, who have not given explanations about this. Unwrapped was born, according to its creators, so that users had more control over their data, although their future is uncertain. Vana, the platform that drives it, argues that the project allows to group information in a community and collectively bargain its use. They explain that it is unlikely that a user manages to sell their data separately: companies are looking for broad sets, such as those who create vain, and then distribute the income among those who participate. Wrapped continues to be for most users a curious and shared annual summary. But the interest in monetizing this data makes it clear that the discussion about who controls personal information is not yet resolved. Spotify has expressed reservations on projects that use their services out of what is allowed, while decentralized proposals try to gain relevance. It is about to see what will happen finally with this project and others of similar characteristics.

Madrid plays 23.4 billion with data centers. The risk of losing them is in the electrical infrastructure

by

Madrid has managed to position itself as The great HUB Digital of Southern Europe For the data centers industry, but the electrical infrastructure of the twentieth century cannot support the growth of the 21st century. Why is it important. The Community of Madrid leads Spain in data centers with 23.4 billion euros in investments planned until 2028. But 82% saturation This leadership puts this leadership against other European regions. In figures: Madrid concentrates 54.8% of the national capacity of data centers with 216 MW in operation. The forecasts point to 522 MW when the works under construction and up to 1.7 GW in 2030. The sector has grown 33% last year and will generate 35,000 jobs in six years. The threat. Ayuso is preparing allegations against what he considers A “over -regulation” of the Ministry of Ecological Transition, but the real problem is on the network. Electric distributors denied six out of ten access requests last year. Without immediate improvements, Spain would have already lost 60,000 million in investments, according to the employer’s calculations, Spain DC, collected by Digital economy. Between the lines. The Madrid paradox is evident: The region produces just 1,334 GWh … … but consume 27,487 GWh per year. It is an energy black hole that works because Spain exports electricity and technological ones sign long -term contracts. But that does not solve the saturation of the distribution network. What is happening. The Government He has put a Royal Decree until September 15 which will force data centers to report their environmental footprint, energy consumption and water use. Madrid considers that it can subtract competitiveness, but it is a minor problem compared to the lack of electrical capacity. Deepen. Spain DC claims an urgent modernization plan, and The electric ones ask the CNMC to raise the remuneration rate of 6.46% to 7.5% To invest in a network. The cost will be paid by consumers at the light bill, but without that investment Madrid will lose the train centers train against Frankfurt, Amsterdam or Paris.

What does the Spanish data protection agency allow and how to do it

by

Let’s explain How and when can you record spam calls to report To those who are sending them. In 2023 we received The antispam law hoping that these calls stop, although today We continue to receive commercial calls. But the law serves, and there are companies that They are already being finedso now it does not correspond to us to know how we can fight them. The thing is that the Spanish Agency for Data Protection allows you to record spam calls to report themand we are going to tell you what the procedure is. Record spam call The first thing you have to do is be able to record the call. Unfortunately, most mobiles They no longer allow you to record callshence You will have to resort to more rudimentary methods How to use an audio recorder on another mobile or on a computer.

Our conversations with Claude were untouchable. Today the urgency of data presses to make them raw materials of the AI

by

We usually talk to artificial intelligence as if I were one more person and sometimes we trust very personal information. However, we rarely stop to think about what happens to those conversations. Until now, the standard in good part of the sector had been to use them to train models, unless the user opposed. Anthropic represented an exception: Claude He had an explicit policy not to use the conversations of his private clients for this purpose. That exception has just broken. The reason is direct and forceful: the data is the raw material of the AI. Anthropic has just announced in his official blog An update of its service conditions for consumers and their privacy policy. The users of the Free, Pro and Max plans, including the sessions in Claude Code, must explicitly accept or reject that their conversations are used for the training of future models. The company set the deadline until September 28, 2025 and warned that, after that date, it will be necessary to choose the preference to continue using Claude. The Anthropic turn. The modification does not affect everyone equally: services subject to commercial terms are left out, such as Claude for Work, Claude Gov, Claude for Education, or access by API through third parties such as Amazon Bedrock or VerTex Ai from Google Cloud. Anthropic states that the new configuration will only apply to chats and code sessions initiated or retaken after accepting the conditions, and that old conversations without additional activity will not be used to train models. It is a relevant operational distinction: change acts on future activity. Why this change? Anthropic points out that all language models “train using large amounts of data” and that real interactions offer valuable signals to improve capacities such as reasoning or code correction. At the same time, several specialists have been pointing to a structural problem: The open web is running out as a fresh and easily accessible source of informationso that companies look for new data paths to sustain the continuous improvement of the models. In that context, user conversations acquire strategic value. Although Anthropic emphasizes security (improving Claude and reinforcing safeguards against harmful uses, such as scams and abuses), the decision probably also responds to competition: OpenAi and Google remain references in the field and require large volumes of interaction to advance. Without enough data, the distances in the AI ​​race that we are witnessing live can increase. Five years instead of thirty days. Next to the training permit, Anthropic has expanded the retention period for shared data for improvement purposes: five years if the user agrees to participatecompared to 30 days that govern if that option is not activated. The company also specifies that the eliminated chats will not be included in future training and that the feedback Envoy can also be kept. It also states that it combines automated processes and tools to filter or obfuscate sensitive information that does not sell user data to third parties.

The data is at maximum, the hoteliers insist that there is crisis

by

On their way to become The Great Resort From Europe, the Spanish tourism sector has encountered an unexpected dilemma: receives Many visitorsmany. So many in fact that he walks towards the barrier of the 100 million travelers International, but … does that translate into more money for hotels, restaurants and other businesses that live from tourism? In the hospitality they begin to rise voices that warn that no, a complaint that sounds with special strength in one of the most busy (and iconic) destinations throughout the country: Mallorca. And that is a problem. Accustomed to records. Talking about tourism in Spain for a long time is to make it of great figures. Even records. In 2024 the country He pulverized his brand of foreign visitors, this year aspires to overcome the barrier of one hundred million And there is studies that predict that in the medium term, by 2040, Spain will be the great ‘resort’ of the world, surpassing in an influx of tourists iconic destinations such as France, the United States or Italy. And the reality is that The data of demand that leave observatories such as the INE point in that direction. A growing sector. The information we have is still incomplete and there is a lot of year ahead, especially if we take into account that Christmas has gained weight as Tourist active In much of Spain, but the first data suggests that in 2025 the sector is maintaining its good streak. According to the INE tables, between January and July The country’s hotels hosted 67.1 million visitors (sum of national and foreign), 1.2% more than last year, which was already a good exercise for the sector. Overnight stays have also increased. And how is summer going? Promises. In July the flow of Spanish travelers grew by 1%, that of non -residents 2.1% and in general the hotels dispatched 1.8% more overnight that in the same month of 2024. The rates also respond well: the hotel price index grew up last month last month 5% in annual rate. The above are data that reflect only the “hotel establishments”, so they leave other accommodations with an important weight in the sector, but serve to have an initial idea of ​​how the campaign is evolving. Fantastic, right? Yes. And no. INE data reflect a growth trend, but over the last weeks voices have been heard They warn that the greatest influx of tourists is not always accompanied by a greater expense in hotels, restaurants, agencies, excursions and other sectors that feed on tourism. Although in June the INE did identify a sensitive increase (+5.5%) In the total expenditure of foreign tourists, a Google search arrives to understand that the photo in July is more diffuse or, at least, it changes from one region to another. Yesterday Vigo lighthouse explained How the main city of Galicia continues to earn visitors, although these are left less money in business. It is not something that happens only there. A few days ago We told you How in San Juan de Luz, in the French Basque Country, hoteliers are receiving a change in travelers’ habits, more and more given to make their own pícnics instead of going to eat at restaurants. In A statement released yesterday by hospitality in Spain, its president slides some data that, although confirming that the summer campaign is not being bad, it does not reach the forecasts of the industry. Businesses had their box 5% grow. And everything points that it will not be so. “Without meeting expectations”. “It is a good summer for tourism, but without meeting the expectations we had marked and the forecast we had with the first months of the year. It is true that we have more foreign tourists, it is true that there is a very considerable volume of tourists, but there is a change of trend. The average ticket in our establishments is going down,” José Almeida reflectsresponsible for hospitality in Spain, for whom this trend is explained by several factors, such as gradualization of national tourism, the increase in the cost of life or the influence of Tourist flats. Earrings from Mallorca. If there is a collective that is noticeable that summer is not marching as expected is that of the hoteliers of Mallorca. The Regional newspaper Last minuteBased in Palma, has published A good number of articles in which It echoes of the restlessness of the sector. In July the Hotel Business Federation of Mallorca (FEHM) warned of a puncture in the tourist influx in certain areas, especially in Capdepera and Sóller, and the president of Mallorca Caeb restoration even I went one step further: “This year will close hundreds of restaurants in Mallorca.” According to Your calculationson the island there are areas that have seen how the volume of diners collapsed a forceful 40%, which has even forced some restaurants to holiday their waiters in full high season. WELCOME, “Diesel tourists”. They are not the only comments that are heard in one of the great tourist destinations in Spain. Tourist transport refers A 20% drop in July and August, the Balearic Islands indicate a similar decrease in hiring excursions and nightlife speaks of lower collections in northern Mallorca or even Magaluf. “In Mallorca we have diesel tourists: they walk a lot and spend little,” Ironiza Recently Pepe lying, from CURTURthe Association of Tourist Merchants and Businessmen of Mallorca. What do the figures say? That something happens in Mallorca. Aena already gave a first clue when publishing her Traffic balance of July, which in a context of general growth wrote down a stagnation in the volume of palm passengers, with -0.1% less of traffic that during the same month last year. And now the most recent INE data on hotel occupancy corroborates it: in July the influx of travelers on the island of Mallorca fell a slight 1.22% and overnight stays 0.35%. The setback was more accentuated in Palma, while if we talked about the set of the … Read more

Connecting to unknown networks can be risky for your personal data. Protecting you don’t cost even 2 euros per month

by

It is a reality: cyber attacks have become increasingly common. There is a lot of undesirable loose looking to get sensitive information, whether large companies or a user like us. If we work from home or we usually connect with our network we have a safety layer, but what if we use ourselves A network on which we don’t have any control? The good news is that there are several ways to protect our Internet traffic, wherever we are. The simplest, useful and effective way to do so is to use a VPN, and if we can afford it, better bet on one of payment. In fact, There are very cheap: Surfshark’s barely costs 1.99 euros a month. Protect your traffic and IP with a good VPN As we say, it exists A good variety of free VPNperfect if we need to use something at a timely moment. The problem they have is that, in addition to being little safe, They work limitedly in terms of traffic or speed volume. For this reason, the ideal is to bet on a payment like this Surfshark, which also has a great price. One of the advantages that this has is that We can install it in an unlimited number of devicesideal to take it in the laptop, on the mobile or on the tablet (or everywhere at the same time). With this, we can protect our Internet traffic, thus gaining a greater dose of privacy. Moreover, it also helps us hide our IP, information that is better to keep away from undesirable. Surfshark VPN is included in its Starter Plan, which also comes with another tool called ALTERNATIVE ID. With it, we can create a series of fictitious data to use them on web pages where we do not want to enter our real information. That way, we keep our personal data at a good collection. As we have commented before, for 1.99 euros A month we have a quality VPN. That means that its two -year plan comes out for a total price of 47.76 euros, a fairly affordable price to have this tool with us for a long season. There does not end the thing, because we will also receive three extra monthsin such a way that we will have surfshark for 27 months instead of 24.

Spain is becoming an authentic mecca of data centers. Uruguay has some lessons about it

by

Spain is fashionable Between the Big Tech. Practically all have chosen our country to Create new data centers. Investments are notable in different communities, but Aragon is undoubtedly One of the ones that has bet most of these facilities, but there are (at least) a problem. The water. This is what a reportage from El País in which we talk about the risks that these new data centers raise Not only in Spain, but in other countries such as Mexico or Chile, where there are also strong investments of this type. Aragon tends a red carpet to Amazon In the case of Spain, it lends itself especially to what has happened in recent months in Huesca, where Amazon already had three data centers for its AWS platform (in the Burgo de Ebro, Villanueva de Gállego and the Phylus polygon in Huesca Capital), but Project new one in Walqa. The company announced last year an investment of 15.7 billion Ed dollars in the region between 2024 and 2033. This project raised quite controversial at the beginning of the year. It was then that the residents of the Rural neighborhood of Cuarte began to receive letters Notifying them of an expropriation of land next to the Walqa Technology Park. Among the concerns of these neighbors was the layout of a New high voltage electric line that crossed the townin addition to the high consumption of water resources. The neighbors met with Amazon representatives in February and finally managed to make the technology deviant that layout of the high voltage line outside the town. Amazon too reached an agreement to finance infrastructure to supply water to cuarte and other populations thanks to new channeling works from the San Julián de Banzo spring. The energy problem is still striking. These data centers, to which the one who projects one in La Cartuja, in Zaragoza, will consume 10,800 GWH, a huge figure that in fact exceeds the consumption of electricity throughout the province in 2024, which It was 10.54 GWh. To solve that problem the company has paid 1.5 million euros to expand the electricity grid to all your data centers. But Water consumption is even more remarkable. Carlos López, a member of Ecologists in Action in Aragon, explained in the country how Amazon will install several wells inside their plots to extract water from the subsoil and thus refrigerate the equipment. It is estimated That these data centers will consume more than 755,000 cubic meters of water a year to refrigerate equipment, but according to López there will be no control and “it will not be able to demonstrate how much water they will extract.” A Amazon spokesman clarified in that report that these wells “are subject to regulatory supervision” and are raised as a reserve water source. The company already indicated this year that it is using 48% more water of what I expected for a simple reason: The heat. It remains to be seen, of course, what happens when these centers are operational: it will be then when those energy and water consumption and their real impact on Aragon can really be valued, both for the consumption of their citizens and the rest of the industry – and especially the irrigation – as in the case of the environmental impact. That makes it very difficult value the true return of this type of projects for countries such as Spain. Although it is true that during its construction employment is generated, the operation does not usually require so many positions. In the recent data center project that Meta is creating in Talavera de la Reina (Toledo), it is expected that some 5,000 jobs for its construction will be created. However, when it is operational target will use about 250 professionals for its management and maintenance. Documents obtained by the country seal that in October 2021, in the three data centers that existed in Aragon “the total direct employees in each of the three centers in Aragon did not exceed twenty at that time.” That red carpet with which some autonomous communities are receiving these investments can end up giving many dislikes. A similar case: Uruguay Everything seemed promising in the new data center project that Google wanted to install in the Science Park, in the Uruguayan department of Canelones, attached to Montevideo. Google Data Centers in Storey, Nevada. Source: Google. This data center, the second of the company in Latin America, It began to build In August 2024 with an investment of more than 850 million dollars. However, the project has been surrounded by an important controversy since its inception. TO Daniel Penaresearcher at the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of the Republic (Uruguay), Something scaled him in that project of the searches giant. In July 2022 this expert analyzed the project that Google presented, but realized something important: At no time were details about water consumption or energy that would impose said data center. The Uruguayan Ministry of Environment denied access to that data, and in December filed a lawsuit With the help of lawyer Carolina Neme. Months later Pena could access the information and discovered that in a first stage the data center will need 3.8 million liters of water per day (3,800 cubic meters). In the second that requirement was bent: it would need 7.6 million liters of water (7,600 cubic meters). But not any type of water. Drinking water. Pena said that the water needs by that data center were “considerable.” The average monthly consumption of a home for three or four people is 15 cubic meters, which means that the data center raises consumption equivalent to that of about 55,000-60,000 people a day. Google ended up modifying several aspects of the project, and among them that of that use of drinking water. The company ended obtaining permission To build it, when among other things he pointed out that instead of using drinking water, he would use a call -based cooling system Chillersclosed circuits that recirculate … Read more

How to store data for 100 years

by

Think for a moment: if you could send a file to the future for someone to open it within 100 years, how would you make it sure that it is still readable? That is the real challenge: the devices and formats that we have at our disposal were not designed to survive beyond A few years. Today’s technology tends to plan the immediate, without taking into account that physical supports degrade and that the formats evolve. For something to last a century, more than choose a storage support. Neither hard or SSD discs are prepared for long -term conservation. According to Backblazethe annualized failures (AFR) rate of 2024 was 1.57% and some models reached around 4.5% in short periods. These values, of course, are assumed for daily operation, not for a horizon of a century like we point to. In SSD, the ability to keep the data stored when it is not active or connected to energy falls with temperature and wear. He JEDEC standard Jesus218A can help us understand the scope: it demands at least 1 year at 30 ° C For conventional units and 3 months to 40 ° C in units oriented to business environments at the end of useful life. Once again, they are useful as operational copies, not as a centenary passive file. Far from being obsolete, The magnetic tape is still a large -scale file pillar. LTO offers estimated durability of decades in good condition and a cost per competitive terabyte for “cold” storage. Organizations such as CERN Document of tape libraries with planned migrations. The market accompanies: in 2024 176.5 EB of compressed capacity, 15.4% more interannual were sent, more interannual, According to the consortium. The counterpart is clear: it requires compatible hardware and constant supervision. Among the optical supports, Worm discs They still have room. The M-Disc paid well in accelerated aging testsbut the projections of centuries or millennia are Laboratory extrapolationsno independent consensus. In practice, we talk about decades and modest capabilities: useful as a legible copy with a compatible reader, little suitable for large volumes due to its slow writing. Sometimes, the most advanced is not digital. The permanent role regulated by ISO 9706 and the microfilm with Le-500 qualification in ISO 18901They are still in force for critical documents. Its advantage is clear: they are read with light, without depending on software or energy, and have defined regulatory frameworks and storage requirements. Different regulators demand Le-500 for certain uses, which maintains these means in the “mix” of preservation. They are not worth Petabytes, but they are still reliable for the essential. One of the great enemies is obsolescence. That is why many institutions plan format migrations before they are without compatible software or hardware. Many times, however, they must resort to techniques such as emulation To recreate old systems. It is not so different from what we see in the world of video games, when access to certain platforms is fading over time. Beyond the present, there are developing technologies with centuries. Project Silica, from Microsoft, records laser quartz glass data. The company speaks of “tens to hundreds of thousands of years” of potential life. And, as we saw a while ago, he did a test storing ‘Superman’ (1978) in a 75.6 GB glass piece. DNA storage is another of the options tested in research environments. They are promising lines, still far from the general use. Extending the life of the data does not depend only on support: budget, responsible and measurable objectives is needed. Governments and organizations already have plans to preserve long -term information, which implies well -defined strategies and periodic reviews. Today, when we talk about digital information, the great challenge is to save it in non -experimental supports that endure the passage of time without continuous supervision … and that can be read within a century.

Threads is eating the toast to X. He is doing it without making noise and with some data that already starts to weigh

Not all the mountain is oregano and not all text -based social networks are X. After the Elon Musk arrival at xthen Twitter, there were few users who fled from the bird’s social network in search of more green pastures. It was then that Mark Zuckerberg, Meta CEO, opened the doors of his: Threads. Two years They have passed Since then and the platform has grown to become a powerful X rival, one that already begins to stand up. The data. As confirmed yesterday Zuckerberg and Adam Mosseri (Instagram CEO) In its official profiles, Threads has managed to reach 400 million monthly active users. It is a significant figure, especially considering that they closed 2024 with Something more than 275 million users that in April the amount amounted to 350 million. 23 Twitter tricks – This social network is completely dominated! Monthly active users (MAU) are a key indicator to quantify the performance, state and health of, in this case, a social network. This metric measures the number of unique users who have visited the platform at least once during the past month. That the Mau grow is a good sign. And what about X? The only information related to X we have in some of the latest statements by Linda Yaccarino, which until a few weeks ago was the CEO of X. According to YaccarinoAs of April 2025 x, it had 600 million monthly active users. The growth was, however, softer. In September 2024 X it had 570 million Mau that, in January, became 586 million. That is, in general terms X it has more monthly active users than Threads, but the growth of Threads is much higher. On the other hand, it is also evident that Threads has more growth capacity than X, a social network that Elon Musk apart, already showed signs of having touched the roof when it was Twitter. Anyway, they are data that must be taken with tweezers because in both cases the source are the ceos of the platforms and, therefore, interested parties. A matter of use. However, there are more third -party data that support the growth of Threads. According to SimilarWebThreads and X have a very similar amount of daily active users (Dau) in their mobile apps: as of June 2025, the X and Android apps had 132 million Dau (15.2% less than the previous year), while Threads added 115.1 million (127.8% more than the previous year). The photo is very different if we look at the use of the websites, with X adding 145.8 million daily visits and Threads only 6.9 million. On the other hand, and according to Apptopia data Shared by Sheel MohnotThreads wins X in another key metric: the engagement. Threads users enter the app 6.6 times a day and each session lasts 190 seconds, while those of X enter 7.3 times and 150 seconds pass. This, in other words, means that Threads users spend 21 minutes daily using the app, while X spends 18 minutes. Threads has fewer users, but those who have them retains them for longer. Threads has a large user tractor: integration with Instagram THE ALMENDRUCO trick. It is no secret that goal has made Threads grow based on integrating it with one of the great titans of the industry of the industry of the doom scrolling: Instagram. IG users see some THREADS posts in their feeds, they can interconnect both profiles and even receive Instagram Push notifications with Threads content.

After growing greatly at the end of last yearthe platform currently adds 38.2 million registered users, although its real activity is much lower than that of X and Threads users.
