How many of those are bots?

Instagram now has 3 billion monthly active users, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Wednesday.

"What an incredible community we've built here," Zuckerberg posted on his Instagram channel.

The figure is a major milestone for the photo-sharing app, which the social media company acquired in 2012 for $1 billion.

Meta last disclosed Instagram's user figures in October 2022 when Zuckerberg said during an earnings call that the app had crossed 2 billion monthly users.

Meta said in April 2024 that it would no longer disclose the monthly and daily active user numbers for Facebook and its sibling apps on a quarterly basis. Since then, Meta has been reporting each quarter the number of daily active people using its family of apps. That figure reached 3.48 billion, the company said in July, topping analysts' estimates of 3.45 billion.

With 3 billion monthly users, Instagram joins the ranks of the Facebook and WhatsApp platforms.

Monthly? Probably 300 million tops. They may have 3 billion accounts total but they are full of shite if they expect anyone to believe they have 3 billion legit active users each month.

Take any SM's MAU number and divide it by 3 and you are probably on the high end of actual human accounts. Add to those that are paid for content but it isn't disclosed and 1 in 4 is more likely.

Until they started disappearing, I had over 300 X followers (down to ~200 now) I have made exactly 2 random replies on X, not a single post or RT. Every single one of my "followers" were "women" with hot profile pics.

That dude is a psycho. I don't think is has any idea of what community actually is. Put your Meta headset back on and get back to living in a fantasy world, weirdo.

Ironically people aren’t connecting on ig as much anymore. Nobody engages with content from friends, it’s mostly for celebrities now

Half of what I see is ai scantily clad women. Ai isn’t good enough yet to make it not obvious. The minute ai figures out how to make beautiful imperfections, it’s over.

Zuck can still suck it.

I wouldn't doubt I am electronic Eskimo brothers with every single guy on TD and electronic Eskimo siblings with most of the LLOTD.

I have to say I am too old and lazy to even troll them.

I'm calling bullshite. Last I checked, there were about 8.2 billion people in the world. So according to Zuck, 37% of the world's population uses his shite app monthly?

Yeah no.
