That's 30% less downloads, not 30% less traffic . I am not sure how that translates to current users.

Good question..

There's always some background noise in installs. People get new devices constantly and they'd usually download it again. Those are fewer

Then there's usually some consistent downloads from new users. Those are probably down

Traffic being down is a good measure and that's dropping too

If it counts updates, that would mean 30% fewer people have the app installed.

Or X don’t pushed any new update in last month 😉

Give the rapid churn in their code base these days, I'm gonna press X to doubt that.

It's barely been 6 weeks since the change from Twitter to X was announced... I don't know for certain but I suspect there to have been at least one update in the last month.
