That's up 2.5% from 2.3 billion in Q4 2018, as well as up 8.2% year-over-year (YoY) from 2.2 billion in Q1 2018. Likewise, Facebook expanded its daily active users (DAU) to 1.56 billion, up 2.7% from last quarter and also up 7.8% YoY.
How Many People Use Facebook
Generally, Facebook now flaunts 2.7 billion regular monthly customers across its household of apps. That consists of Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, and also core Facebook, with 2.1 billion of those individuals accessing among the apps each day.
Here's a review of Facebook's individual growth by region:
- United States & Canada. Facebook added 1 million MAU in the quarter, completing 243 million in the region. DAU were flat with Q4 2018 at 186 million.
- Europe. Facebook added 3 million MAU (to 384 million) and also expanded DAU by 4 million (to 286 million).
- Asia-Pacific (APAC). Facebook added 34 million MAU (to 981 million) and 33 million DAU (to 600 million).
- Relax of Globe (ROW). Facebook included 18 million MAU (to 768 million), with DAU up by 12 million (to 490 million).
The majority of Facebook's individual development is coming from areas beyond the US, Canada, and Europe, although it's still including individuals in those regions. If you ask United States teenagers, whose social networks preferences can be considered a bellwether, Facebook isn't also their second favored social system. Since 2019, teens like Snapchat as well as Instagram to Facebook by a long odds, according to Piper Jaffray.
As well as in 2018, 51% people teenagers ages 13-17 claimed they utilized Facebook, down from 71% in 2015, per Church bench. Yet regardless of the decreasing usage among US teens, core Facebook remains to include users worldwide-- especially in non-Western regions. In Q1, the substantial majority of Facebook's brand-new customers came from APAC as well as ROW areas, for instance.
And Also while Gen Z proclaims Facebook to be unimportant, older generations in the US continue to be gotten in: Facebook continues to be highly prominent amongst United States adults ages 25-29 (84% claim they use it) as well as 30-49 (79%), per Bench. That might account for the social media network's constant development in mature Western markets.
Users are likely becoming increasingly inured to Facebook's continual state of detraction. In the initial three months of 2019 alone Facebook has actually had numerous major privacy occurrences-- unintentionally leaking over a million Instagram user's emails, trouble curbingwhite supremacist content, a pending $3 to $5 billion penalty from the FTC.
As well as over the last couple of years, they have actually faced rumors ranging from election disturbance to massive violations of customer personal privacy. Still, these scandals appears to matter less as well as less to users, and equally as Facebook financiers continue to be undeterred, users may be expanding numb to the continuous chaos as well.
Additionally, Facebook might simply be so entrenched that regular users, whether they care about personal privacy rumors, feel they can't give up the site, as TechCrunch's Josh Constine kept in mind.
