That's up 2.5% from 2.3 billion in Q4 2018, and up 8.2% year-over-year (YoY) from 2.2 billion in Q1 2018. Likewise, Facebook expanded its daily active individuals (DAU) to 1.56 billion, up 2.7% from last quarter as well as up 7.8% YoY.
Users On Facebook
On the whole, Facebook now flaunts 2.7 billion regular monthly users across its family of apps. That includes Carrier, WhatsApp, Instagram, and also core Facebook, with 2.1 billion of those people accessing one of the applications everyday.
Here's a review of Facebook's individual growth by area:
- US & Canada. Facebook included 1 million MAU in the quarter, completing 243 million in the region. DAU were flat with Q4 2018 at 186 million.
- Europe. Facebook included 3 million MAU (to 384 million) as well as expanded DAU by 4 million (to 286 million).
- Asia-Pacific (APAC). Facebook added 34 million MAU (to 981 million) as well as 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 user development is originating from regions beyond the US, Canada, as well as Europe, although it's still including users in those regions. If you ask US teenagers, whose social media choices can be considered a bellwether, Facebook isn't even their second favorite social platform. Since 2019, teens favor Snapchat and also Instagram to Facebook by a long odds, according to Piper Jaffray.
And in 2018, 51% of US teenagers ages 13-17 stated they utilized Facebook, below 71% in 2015, per Bench. But despite the declining use among United States teens, core Facebook remains to include users worldwide-- especially in non-Western areas. In Q1, the huge bulk of Facebook's new customers originated from APAC as well as ROW areas, for instance.
As Well As while Gen Z proclaims Facebook to be pointless, older generations in the US stay purchased in: Facebook continues to be extremely preferred amongst US adults ages 25-29 (84% claim they utilize it) and 30-49 (79%), per Pew. That might account for the social media's steady growth in fully grown Western markets.
Individuals are likely becoming increasingly inured to Facebook's continuous state of rumor. In the first 3 months of 2019 alone Facebook has actually had a number of significant personal privacy cases-- mistakenly leaking over a million Instagram customer's e-mails, problem curbingwhite supremacist content, a pending $3 to $5 billion fine from the FTC.
And over the last couple of years, they've dealt with rumors ranging from political election disturbance to massive breaches of individual privacy. Still, these scandals seems to matter much less as well as less to users, as well as just as Facebook capitalists stay undeterred, customers might be expanding numb to the continuous turmoil too.
Conversely, Facebook may merely be so established that regular customers, whether they respect privacy scandals, feel they can not quit the website, as TechCrunch's Josh Constine kept in mind.
