Monthly Active Users: 2.06 billion

The world’s largest social network has long passed the 2 billion mark. This isn’t how many people have an account on the platform, but how many of them use it monthly. In fact, Facebook is so popular that it invented a new stat – the Daily Active Users. Even those numbers are impressive, with 1.32 billion using the platform every single day, easily putting Facebook at the top of the list of the 17 most popular social media apps in 2017.

It’s hard to believe that anything will turn the tide on Facebook in the years to come. It should also be mentioned that there are over 3 billion internet users in the world, with over 730 million living in China, who don’t have access to Facebook. That being said, to answer the question – Should Facebook worry? No. The company leads the list by far and even though YouTube is close, it’s still not the same type of service, even though it does provide a way for users to connect socially. As a social network, Facebook will continue to rule the scene for a long time to come.
