X Usage Has Declined By 30 Percent

X usage is declining

A new report suggests that X usage has declined by a whopping 30 percent Y-O-Y.

Edison Research has published its annual Infinite Dial report, which provides a snapshot of media trends, based on a survey of over 1,000 people in the U.S. aged 12 and older.

And clearly, based on this data at least, attention is shifting away from X (formerly Twitter).

As you can see in the image below, the rate of people indicating that they’re using X has declined by 30% year-over-year.

There have also been some third party reports indicating decline in X usage –

  • Apptopia reported in October last year that X has seen a 13% decline in daily active users since Musk took over at the app. Apptopia’s data suggests that the re-brand to X accelerated this decline.
  • SimilarWeb has reported that X has seen a 14% decline in mobile and web visits since September 2022.
  • AppAnnie’s 2023 “State of Mobile” report found that X’s monthly active user count declined significantly between 2022 and 2023.
  • Last month, Sensor Tower reported that X usage has declined 18% year-over-year. X refuted this, but offered no data to clarify.

Edison’s Infinite Dial report also includes this interesting overview of the development of the social media landscape.
