Facebook saw an average of 2.96 billion active users every month. In the meantime, the Meta app family averaged 3.74 billion monthly active users.

The number of people daily using Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp is the highest it’s ever been,” CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a statement.

“The progress we’re making on our AI discovery engine and Reels are major drivers of this. Beyond this, our management theme for 2023 is the ‘Year of Efficiency,’ and we’re focused on becoming a stronger and more nimble organization,” Zuckerberg said.
