Total Facebook Users
That's up 2.5% from 2.3 billion in Q4 2018, and also up 8.2% year-over-year (YoY) from 2.2 billion in Q1 2018. Furthermore, Facebook grew its everyday energetic users (DAU) to 1.56 billion, up 2.7% from last quarter as well as up 7.8% YoY.
Amount Of Facebook Users
Generally, Facebook currently boasts 2.7 billion monthly customers across its family of apps. That includes Carrier, WhatsApp, Instagram, and also core Facebook, with 2.1 billion of those individuals accessing one of the applications daily.
Below's a run-through of Facebook's user growth by area:
- United States & Canada. Facebook included 1 million MAU in the quarter, totaling 243 million in the region. DAU were flat with Q4 2018 at 186 million.
- Europe. Facebook added 3 million MAU (to 384 million) as well as grew DAU by 4 million (to 286 million).
- Asia-Pacific (APAC). Facebook added 34 million MAU (to 981 million) and also 33 million DAU (to 600 million).
- Relax of World (ROW). Facebook included 18 million MAU (to 768 million), with DAU up by 12 million (to 490 million).
A lot of Facebook's customer growth is coming from regions outside of the US, Canada, and Europe, although it's still including customers in those regions. If you ask US teens, whose social media sites choices can be thought about a bellwether, Facebook isn't also their second preferred social platform. As of 2019, teenagers choose Snapchat as well as Instagram to Facebook by a long shot, according to Piper Jaffray.
And also in 2018, 51% people teenagers ages 13-17 stated they used Facebook, below 71% in 2015, per Pew. But despite the declining usage amongst United States teenagers, core Facebook remains to add individuals worldwide-- especially in non-Western areas. In Q1, the vast bulk of Facebook's brand-new customers originated from APAC and ROW areas, as an example.
And while Gen Z proclaims Facebook to be unimportant, older generations in the United States remain acquired in: Facebook stays very preferred among United States grownups ages 25-29 (84% claim they utilize it) and 30-49 (79%), per Church bench. That can make up the social network's stable growth in fully grown Western markets.
Individuals are likely coming to be significantly inured to Facebook's continuous state of rumor. In the initial three months of 2019 alone Facebook has actually had a number of major personal privacy incidents-- accidentally leaking over a million Instagram user's emails, problem curbingwhite supremacist content, a pending $3 to $5 billion penalty from the FTC.
And over the last couple of years, they've encountered detractions varying from political election disturbance to substantial breaches of individual privacy. Still, these detractions appears to matter much less and also less to users, and also just as Facebook investors stay undeterred, individuals might be growing numb to the continuous chaos too.
Additionally, Facebook may merely be so established that regular customers, whether they respect privacy scandals, feel they can't give up the website, as TechCrunch's Josh Constine noted.
