Facebook Daily Active Users Grew to 1.52 Billion During December Quarter

Facebook saw its base of daily users growing 9% to 1.52 billion in the December quarter, led by growth in markets like India, Indonesia and the Philippines, the social networking giant has said. The daily active users (DAUs) represented about 66% of the 2.32 billion monthly active users (MAUs) in the December 2018 quarter, Facebook’s Chief Financial Officer David Wehner said during the fourth quarter investor call. He added that MAUs — users who have used Facebook within the month — grew by 191 million or 9% compared to last year.

“Q4 was a strong quarter, wrapping up a good year for our business… Daily active users on Facebook reached 1.52 billion, up 9% compared to 2017, led by growth in India, Indonesia, and the Philippines,” he said.

Facebook on Wednesday said its profit for the December 2018 quarter grew 61% to USD 6.8 billion, while revenue was higher by 30% to USD 16.6 billion from the year-ago period.

For the full year, net income expanded 39% to USD 22.1 billion and revenue grew by 38% to USD 55 billion. Asked about integration of various services like WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger, Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg said the company is “really early in thinking through this”.

“There’s a lot more that we need to figure out before we finalise the plans. And then, of course, this is going to be a long-term project that I think will probably be to whatever extent we end up doing it in — a 2020 thing or beyond,” he added.
