Threads has surpassed X in daily users on mobile. The paradox is that this has not changed.

by

Threads and X play, in essence, the same game. Short messages, public conversations and the ambition to become the place where the things that matter are discussed. On mobile, Threads is already moving very close to X in daily active users on a global scale, to the point that, on specific days, it was ahead. But when you look beyond the numbers, the feeling is different. The conversation that jumps to the media and public debate continues to be born, almost always, in the same place. The most cited photograph comes from Similarweb data and focuses exclusively on mobile use. That’s where Threads has closed the gap significantly. According to this analysis firm, both platforms converge in very close figures of daily active users on a global scale, around 130 million. In the week with data until September 20, 2025, Threads was ahead of X on three of the days analyzed. Even so, the series as a whole does not allow us to speak of consolidated leadership, but rather of a very tight and localized equality in time. Daily active users on iOS and Android. Threads approaches X on mobile phones globally | Source: Similarweb What does this data measure and what is left out. When talking about daily active mobile users, it is advisable to sharpen the focus. Similarweb accounts daily use on iOS and Android, counting each person only once a day, even if they open the app multiple times. Additionally, any user who performs a minimal action, such as opening the app or logging in, is considered “active.” This metric reflects access habits, but does not distinguish between reading, interacting or publishing, nor does it measure what type of accounts concentrate the activity or what content is amplified outside the platform. Daily web traffic on a global scale. X maintains a very large advantage over Threads in browser visits | Source: Similarweb That balance that appears in mobile use is broken as soon as the focus is expanded. When looking at web trafficthe distance between both platforms is once again very marked. Similarweb data shows that It is not a minor detail, because web access is usually more present in professional contexts, newsrooms and news monitoring. Changing metrics also changes the story the data tells. Information consumption follows another map. When the question is not how many people enter each day, but rather where users get information, the scenario changes. The conclusions of the Digital News Report 2025 of the Reuters Institute point out that The difference is not so much size but function within the media ecosystem. Part of that difference has to do with the type of use. A academic study published in 2024 describes X as a “passive sensor” especially useful for detecting opinion leaders, by combining public visibility, active community and clear temporal traceability of messages. This architecture makes it easier for statements, reactions or controversies to be followed in real time and reused in other contexts. For media and analysts, X not only works as a social network, but also as a tool for observing public conversation. A growth pushed from within the ecosystem. The progress of Threads is largely explained by its integration with Instagram and, in general, with the Meta ecosystem. Direct access from an already massive application reduces barriers to entry and makes it easier for many users to try out the platform without additional effort. That push helps explain why mobile usage numbers have grown rapidly. However, this dynamic does not guarantee that users adopt Threads as a central space for public or informative debate, nor that they transfer there the practices that they currently maintain in X. Not even the recurring controversies surrounding Elon Musk have been sufficient to displace X from its role as an informational reference point. Threads advances in usage and visibility, but the center of gravity of the conversation remains where it was. For that to change, it will not be enough to add users or rely on the Meta ecosystem. It would require a deeper transformation of professional, media and political habits that, for now, is not appreciated.

On the ByteDance mobile, Android is secondary. AI is the real operating system

by

The Doubao AI smartphone, a Chinese mobile that we saw arrive a few weeks agois not another mobile phone with AI functions crammed in, but a serious attempt to turn AI into the device’s real operating system, one capable of relegating Android to mere infrastructure. ByteDance’s bet is clear: whoever controls the assistant that executes the tasks will be the one who controls the user. Although I don’t control the app store. That breaks with the model of the last seventeen years. Why is it important. The model has not changed since 2008: The operating system funnels the user into its ecosystem of applications. That app store is capital for 99% of users: without it, you wouldn’t see the value. And that store allows the platform to capture traffic, data and transactions. Doubao’s proposal wants to change the model towards one in which the user speaks and the AI ​​executes crossing applications without the user having to enter them. Chinese super applications become invisible infrastructure for the user. Doubao itself has been pointing in that direction for some time with other devices, like headphones. Between the lines. Those same super apps are not happy with this proposal, and in fact when Doubao simulates taps to complete tasks, WeChat or Alipay interpret it as an attack, so they block attempts and close sessions. WeChat has built its empire Regarding experience control and payments, Alipay has invested a lot of money in reaching total user retention. An AI that compares prices between rivals breaks its desired captivity. ByteDance has copied the Seres-Huawei model: ZTE provides the shell, ByteDance provides the brain. And that’s how you get operating system privileges. Doubao has permission for everything by default and Android becomes more like just another application, because the manufacturer and AI layer control everything. Yes, but. Accuracy is around 50% in complex tasks that involve several applications. It works in simple scenarios, it fails when the user requests something that requires coordinating three different applications. Traditional manufacturers such as Samsung, Xiaomi or Oppo cannot adopt a model like this because it would mean handing over control to a third party. The alternative path is to build a framework where AI can coordinate applications, but with those applications maintaining control through APIs. The money trail. ByteDance does not have the business model of selling mobile phones at mid-range prices. Its model is based on behavioral data, traffic to its services and commissions on transactions executed by AI. The smartphone is the gateway and AI is its big bet in which use TikTok as a springboard. And now what. This is not a battle between assistants but between models: The app-centric that has been operating for seventeen years. The AI-centric where applications tend to become invisible. ByteDance is betting on the second, which changes the entry point for the user. That entry point has been on the application icon for three decades. ByteDance believes it will be on the microphone tomorrow. Featured image | Doubao In Xataka | They have dismantled the latest Huawei phones and what they have found is bad news for the US: 57%

subscriptions and getting away from mobile

by

These are not good times for movie theaters. In fact, not even big titles like ‘Avatar: Fire and Ashes’one of the films of the year, they get the bills. In fact, new movies have a harder time filling theaters than historic blockbusters like ‘Back to the Future’. they have come to the rescue. In the midst of this endless journey through the desert of movie theaters, some small green shoots can be seen and come from a side that invites us to have a certain optimism with a dropper: Generation Z, which has already shown that it likes to swim against the current on different issues, ranging from banish alcohol to write letters again either the taste for cruises. Generation Z goes to the movies more. a report This same December from the trade organization Cinema United highlights that the frequency of attendance of Generation Z increased 25% year over year. Thus, in 2025 this generation watched an average of 6.1 movies, a slight increase compared to the 4.9 visits the previous year. In this latest survey, 41% of participating people said they went to the cinema at least six times a year compared to 31% in 2022. Why is it important. Because cinema is going through a pressing crisis, both in theaters and the economic one that hits Hollywood. In the case of Spain, neither TV, nor cinema nor books: only interested in going to concertsamong other things, for the search for unique experiences. And it shows: in the Spanish state is going through one of its worst moments: Most indicators have fallen in 2024 and do not reach the 2019 box office. The evil that devastates movie theaters has several aspects, from transformation of the entertainment economic model towards a streaming where competition and the search for profitability is fierce. As a consequence they have reduced their budgets and the number of projects), but also the different industrial strikes, the emergence of artificial intelligence and of course, the price of tickets. The reasons for young people to return to cinema. We mentioned above that living experiences is a compelling reason to opt for concerts over other forms of leisure, but enjoying a movie in a movie theater is light years away from doing so in your living room, no matter how many large TVs or sound bars you have. In Business Insider they collect statements from different young people that range from covering the need for an activity and being in a community to doing an activity without a cell phone, as long as you should leave it aside in the room (don’t be one of those people who illuminates their surroundings with the screen). And what about the prices? If today I wanted to see ‘Avatar 3’ in my nearest cinemas I would pay 9 euros to see the film in 2D at 8pm at the Yelmo de Itaroa (Pamplona). 10 euros if it is in 3D. This is where subscriptions and the current inflationary context come in. Avatar 3 in 3D in Yelmo Itaroa cinemas in Huarte (Navarra) Subscriptions are taking effect The burning nail of flat rates. Monthly subscriptions to go to the movies are not something new or exclusive to Spain: in the United States, for example, they have MoviePass or AMC A-List for movie theater chains. AMC Theatersin the UK CineWorld Unlimited Card, in France it is UGC Poster. In the Spanish state, Cinesa has its Unlimited Carda flat rate for people over 18 years old that starts from 17.90 euros per month. And although anyone can subscribe, it must be taken into account that the Young Cultural Bonus of 400 euros. An in-person subscription to an experience. The Cinema United report collect that loyalty program members in the United States increased by 15% since 2024, reinforcing it as a compelling reason: for a fixed monthly fee you have almost unlimited access to movies and the guarantee of an experience. For a generation that does not hesitate when it comes to canceling streaming subscriptions when they go up in price and have seen some of their favorite content disappear, an in-person subscription is attractive. An analysis IBISWorld’s industry analysis for U.S. theaters points the way for movie theaters to climb out of the hole: Investing in experiences through better food and facilities and a greater emphasis on subscriptions and partnerships can help theater revenue grow from $16 billion in 2025 to a projected $17.3 billion in 2030. When everything goes up, going to the movies is a more sensible option for your pocket. Flat cinema rates are not the cheapest form of entertainment out there, and if we take into account the added prices of food and drink there (although always you can bring your food to reduce costs) even less so, but in this inflationary scenario in which almost everything has gone up, they seem more reasonable if you think about a plan that lasts several hours. If you do the math, it’s even cheap if you compare it to going out to dinner or drinks (and that’s not to mention the particular Spanish scene with its young bonus).

2026 will be a blow in your pocket if you have fiber and mobile. Unless you use DIGI

by

New year, price rise. Or that’s what traditional operators have been doing practically since we can remember. But in Spain there is an operator that swims against the current: Digi. The company closed 2024 without raising pricesand in 2025 the promise has been repeated again. On the rival side, fiber and mobile from Vodafone, Movistar and Orange will be more expensive in 2026with the three large companies preparing an upward update in their rates for the month of January. The Digi paradox contrasts with this year-end: he makes less and less money with each clientand that’s just what you want to do. Not a euro goes up. There will be no price increase in DIGI by 2026announcing it officially and distancing itself from the rest of its rivals. Marius Varzaru, CEO of the company, similarly reaffirmed that in 2025 both the price of its ilimiTODO rate and the speed of SMART Fiber rates have been improved without compromising the price. A strategy completely against the flow of the rest, with a Yoigo raising fiber and mobile prices, an o2 that also entered 2025 with increasesand the three large operators on the verge of their annual rate updates. The plan. Digi wants to be, at a minimum, the third operator in Spain. Despite being a direct rival, has the agreement with Telefónicathrough which you benefit from both national roaming services and RAN Sharing (radio access network sharing). For user purposes, coverage relatively similar to that of Telefónica for much less money. Is it a profitable plan? Yes, but. During 2025, Digi has been the operator that has managed to snatch the most customers from its rivals, close to one million. Despite this, its profitability is increasingly lowergoing from 8.7 euros per client to 7.8. This would be a significant problem for an operator with low customer volume, but this is not the case with DIGI. The operator’s priority is volume over margin, something that has allowed it to catapult to fourth place in the ranking of Spanish operators. And, if it continues like this, it will not take long for it to eat Vodafone. It’s not something new. Already in 2022, DIGI managed to take over 60% of the total portability in Spain and, since then, it closes each year with close to one million new lines. DIGI is not an MVNO, it is the fourth major Spanish operatorand has the potential to continue climbing positions. For now, Telefónica seems not to be considering the purchase of DIGIgiven that Murtra’s aggressive plan does not include new acquisitions. Despite this, the only possible way to stop DIGI seems, precisely, to go hand in hand. Image | Digi In Xataka | Movistar Plus+ was making a comeback after four years of losing customers.

The most important change is not on the mobile, but on the computer

by

WhatsApp has announced an update for the holiday season with nine changes focused on calls, states, AI or the most interesting: the new multimedia center in the computer version. We tell you all the news that is already coming to your devices. New answering machine “Leave your message after the signal.” This is what the classic answering machine tells us when someone doesn’t pick up our call and WhatsApp has decided that it wants to have its own. The app already has voice and video calls, but it lacked the answering machine to have the complete telephone experience. The novelty is called ‘Missed Call Messages’ and allows us to leave a message if we call someone and they don’t answer us, something quite typical especially during the holiday season. Now, when you make a call or video call and there is no response, a button will appear on the screen to record a video or audio messagedepending on whether it is a normal call or a video call. Audio chats and group calls a while ago in WhatsApp groups a new button appeared. What it does is that we can open audio chats between the members we select from the group. Pressing the button creates an audio room so you can discuss a specific topic without it ending up being an endless text conversation that others may not be interested in. The novelty that comes with this update is that now participants will be able to use reactions to intervene without interrupting the speaker. Group video calls are also common during the holiday season and with this version comes a new feature that makes it easier to follow the conversation. When someone speaks, they will appear highlighted on the screen. New multimedia center on your computer The new multimedia center icon. The most interesting news comes to the version for the computer. Until now, if you wanted to search for an image you had to do it within the chat where it was shared, but with this update comes a single multimedia center for all photos, documents and links. All photos, videos, links and documents in the same place. It’s displayed with an image icon in the left sidebar, along with access to archived chats, restricted chats, and featured messages. All the documents, messages, images and videos that we have received in the last 14 days will appear there. Allows you to sort them according to age and size. At the moment I have only been able to test this function on Mac, on Windows the app has not been updated. Improvements to Meta AI One of the capabilities of Meta AI, also known as “the blue WhatsApp circle“, is to be able to generate images with the prompt that we give it. It has updated the Midjourney and Flux models, so now it should create images with better quality. If you want to level up your Christmas greetings, now too you can ask him to convert them into an animation. After generating the image, just say “Animate it” and it will create a short video. Other news The update also brings other improvements such as the links we send will have a clearer preview, in addition to simplifying URLs that are too long. Also premieres new stickers within statesincluding song lyrics and Instagram-style questions. Lastly, if you have a whatsapp channel or participate in one, there is a new questions feature so administrators can interact with the public. To install the update on your mobile, open the App Store or Google Play (depending on whether you use iPhone or Android), search for WhatsApp and click on the ‘Update’ button.
