900 million people as of 4/21/16. 11% of the world's population uses it monthly. 87 million adults in the US use it and there have been a total of 9.5 billion photos sent using it as of late 2015. Google Play has seen it downloaded one billion times. 10% of global internet phone calls come from FBM as of April 2015.

But hey, since 3 people on the Tech Board don't use it that must mean nobody else does. Amirite?

i dont use facebook anymore but i assume your numbers arent talking about what people use for mms/sms. If people use facebook messenger then i will just plead old age (mid 30s). I just assumed facebook messenger was only used when fricking around on fb and i dont see how your numbers really paint a picture of random fb messaging versus mms/sms usage.

Also just so we're clear FB messenger is the annoying little thing that pops up on your screen that you can move around right and you have to drag to an X to get it to go away?

some of us dont have facebook believe it or not. killed my fb account about 5 years ago when i got remarried because nothing good was going to come from old gfs posting shite on my wall.

fb messenger sounds super lame..are you justifying your numbers because people are on facebook 'messaging' each other which counts as hits?
