Facebook dominates social media competitors, finds survey
Facebook has more monthly views than its social media competitors, and so do its subsidiaries WhatsApp and Messenger, according to a survey from Statista. Four of the top five largest social media and messaging platforms in the world are Facebook-owned, with China's WeChat knocking Facebook's Instagram into fifth place. Facebook itself has two billion monthly users, while Whatsapp and Messenger have over one billion each. Twitter was the next US social media firm on the list with 328 million monthly users, coming in behind Tencent's Qzone and Weibo.
Facebook has cemented its status as undisputed king of the social media jungle in a new survey that shows not only that the social media network itself has more monthly views than anyone else – but that its stablemates WhatsApp and Messenger do too.
