New York (CNN Business) Twitter's audience is growing again and engaging with the service more frequently as the company works to combat abuse on the platform.

Twitter TWTR said Tuesday that it had 330 million monthly active users in the first three months of 2019, an increase of 9 million from the quarter prior, which breaks its streak of three consecutive quarters of user declines.

In the United States, Twitter added two million monthly users during the quarter. The social network is still below the 336 million users it had worldwide a year ago.

At the same time, people are engaging more with Twitter. The company said 134 million daily active users were able to view ads and promoted tweets on the service in the first quarter, an increase of 11% from the same period a year ago.

Twitter said in February that it planned to focus on this daily user number as it looks to build a service that people want to use every day. The monthly active user metric, long a focus of investors who track Twitter, will no longer be included with its earnings reports after this quarter.
