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. Furthermore, Facebook expanded its everyday active customers (DAU) to 1.56 billion, up 2.7% from last quarter as well as up 7.8% YoY.
Facebook User Count
On the whole, Facebook now flaunts 2.7 billion month-to-month users throughout its family members of applications. That consists of Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, and also core Facebook, with 2.1 billion of those people accessing among the applications everyday.
Here's a rundown of Facebook's individual development by area:
- US & Canada. Facebook included 1 million MAU in the quarter, completing 243 million in the area. 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 included 34 million MAU (to 981 million) as well as 33 million DAU (to 600 million).
- Rest of World (ROW). Facebook added 18 million MAU (to 768 million), with DAU up by 12 million (to 490 million).
Most of Facebook's customer growth is originating from areas outside of the US, Canada, and Europe, although it's still including individuals in those areas. If you ask US teens, whose social media sites choices can be thought about a bellwether, Facebook isn't also their 2nd preferred social platform. As of 2019, teens choose Snapchat and also Instagram to Facebook by a slim chance, according to Piper Jaffray.
As well as in 2018, 51% of US teenagers ages 13-17 said they utilized Facebook, below 71% in 2015, per Seat. Yet regardless of the declining use among US teens, core Facebook remains to include users worldwide-- specifically in non-Western areas. In Q1, the vast bulk of Facebook's new individuals came from APAC as well as ROW areas, as an example.
As Well As while Gen Z declares Facebook to be irrelevant, older generations in the US stay purchased in: Facebook continues to be very preferred amongst US adults ages 25-29 (84% state they use it) and 30-49 (79%), per Church bench. That might represent the social media network's steady development in fully grown Western markets.
Individuals are most likely coming to be increasingly inured to Facebook's continuous state of rumor. In the first 3 months of 2019 alone Facebook has had numerous major privacy occurrences-- unintentionally leaking over a million Instagram user's emails, problem curbingwhite supremacist web content, a pending $3 to $5 billion fine from the FTC.
As well as over the last couple of years, they have actually faced scandals varying from political election disturbance to massive breaches of user personal privacy. Still, these scandals appears to matter much less and also less to individuals, and just as Facebook capitalists remain undeterred, users might be growing numb to the consistent chaos as well.
Conversely, Facebook may merely be so entrenched that regular individuals, whether they care about personal privacy rumors, feel they can not give up the website, as TechCrunch's Josh Constine noted.
