โ€‹โ€‹WhatsApp is now Facebookโ€™s second-biggest property, followed by Facebook Messenger & Instagram!

#Facebook & #WhatsApp boasted record usership โ€” 2.13 billion & 1.5 billion MAUs (monthly active users), respectively โ€” according to Facebookโ€™s Q4 earnings. Thatโ€™s despite a small decline in the number of users in ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ & ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

WhatsApp is now bigger than #FacebookMessenger, its rival/sibling messaging app. Itโ€™s also far bigger than #Instagram. Facebookโ€™s namesake app, of course, remains, on top.

STAT
โšก๏ธ Apps account for over 90% of internet time on smartphones and 77% of internet time on tablets. But this is slightly misleading, in that nearly half of app time occurs in an individualโ€™s top app, and 90% in the top five. Moreover, some web time may be undercounted due to browsers embedded within apps. (Source: eMarketer)
