Social media has snowballed in importance over the last decade. But just how much do people love their Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and other such accounts? We've looked at the numbers and come up with some key social media statistics and facts. The figures are truly mind-boggling. There may still be hold-outs, who shun the new type of media, but there are undoubtedly many people who have embraced social media and use it daily.

While we have tried to gather the most up-to-date statistics and facts for this article, the nature of social media means that they will always be changing. That is one of the reasons we've developed our tool that demonstrates the changes to the top Instagram accounts over the last five years.

To put all of these statistics into perspective, the world population in April 2019 is edging up to 7.7 billion people . This population has already grown by 21.8 million this year. There were 4.3 billion internet users in March 2019, more than half of whom are in Asia. Perhaps unsurprisingly, though, North America has the highest percentage of its citizens as internet users - 89.1%.

Below is an interesting visualization of what happens on the internet in real time.

60 Key Social Media Statistics and Facts

Infographic

Facebook Statistics

1. Facebook had 2.32 billion monthly active users worldwide , as at the 4 th quarter of 2018. It surpassed 1 billion in Q3 2012 and 2 billion in Q2 2017. Active users are those who have logged in to Facebook during the last 30 days.

2. If you widen the definition of Facebook to include all the company's core products (Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger), 2.7 million people used at least one of the products each month in Q4 2018.

3. 74% of US Facebook users visit the site at least once daily. This is the highest rate for any social network. 51% of Facebookers visit more than once a day, 23% once a day, and just 26% less often. The percentage of Facebook users who visit the site daily is unchanged compared with 2016.

Twitter Statistics

1. With 47.05 million users , the United States has the most significant number of Twitter accounts. Japan takes the second spot with 38.6%, followed by the United Kingdom with 13.6 million Twitter users. While India has a large Facebook base, its 7.65 million Twitter users are well down the order, in 7 th position. The most-followed Twitter accounts include Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, and former U.S. president Barack Obama.

2. Millennials are the generation that most enjoys tweeting. eMarketer expects 21.0 million millennials will use the social platform in 2019.

3. Twitter has more than 3,800 employees, working in over 35 offices worldwide.

4. Twitter is extremely popular with the world's politicians. Donald Trump uses Twitter on almost a daily basis. 97% of the 193 UN member states have an official presence on the platform. Former US president, Barack Obama has 105 million followers, the second most popular Twitter account in the world. Donald Trump is rapidly catching up with 59.6 million followers, 13 th overall.

Instagram Statistics

Mention also found that 66.6% of Instagram posts contain one or more hashtags. Clearly, hashtags are important on Instagram. This compares with their Twitter report that shows only 40% of tweets include a hashtag. However, contrary to expectation, their data also showed that hashtags didn't seem to increase engagement rates. They found that the average number of engagements went down with every hashtag you add.

YouTube Statistics

1. YouTube has launched local versions in more than 91 countries. You can navigate YouTube in a total of 80 different languages (covering 95% of the Internet population).

2. According to YouTube's internal stats, the number of channels earning six figures per year on YouTube grew more than 40% year on year. The number of channels earning five figures per year on YouTube increased more than 50% year on year. Clearly, YouTube can be highly lucrative for its best creators.

3. 70% of YouTube's views are on mobile. While YouTube is now available on most smart TVs, most people still opt to watch it on a much smaller screen - their phone. Another possible reason for this is that many people choose to look at YouTube while they are commuting, often in public on a train or bus.

4. Forbes predicted the top-earning YouTuber in 2018 was 7-year-old Ryan who showcases his favorite toys in his channel Ryan's Toys Review. Forbes estimated that Ryan earned $22 million. He was followed by Jake Paul ($21.5 million), Dude Perfect ($20 million), DanTDM (#18.5 million), and Jeffree Star ($18 million). Long-time YouTube favorite, PewDiePie, was down to #9 in Forbes' list), although his $15.5 million estimated 2018 earnings are still decidedly healthy. PewDiePie recently critiqued our previous estimate of his earnings in one of his recent videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY2ydWCSvUA

LinkedIn Statistics

1. LinkedIn was slow to take off, however. Although it launched on May 5 th, 2003, it generated only 6,000 users in its first month . By the end of its first six months, LinkedIn had 37,000 users.

2. Professionals are signing up to join LinkedIn at a rate of more than two new members per second.

3. More than 70 percent of LinkedIn's members are outside the U.S.

Pinterest Statistics

1. There are now more than 175 billion pins on Pinterest, up 75% over the last year.

2. Although Pinterest is more niche than most of the social networks covered here, it still has a sizeable business base. There are 1.5 million businesses who have set up boards on Pinterest. People on Pinterest rate ads on Pinterest 1.4 times more relevant and useful than those on other platforms.

3. Pinterest is the No. 2 social network among baby boomers, behind Facebook. Its current focus on home products and décor appeals to middle-aged and older women.

Snapchat Statistics

1. Snapchat is the now the social platform of choice for teenagers, with 35% of US teens in 2018 saying it was the network they used most often. However, only 69% of teenagers use Snapchat, behind both YouTube and Instagram. Clearly, those teenagers who do use Snapchat, consider it an essential part of their daily lives. As a comparison, 41% of teens claimed to use Snapchat in Pew Research's 2014 survey.

2. Despite cries of "doom and gloom," Snap's total revenue has risen for each of the last three years. Snaps' 2015 revenue was $56.7 million (and they made a Gross Loss of $123.7 million). In 2016, however, Snap's total revenue improved to $404. 5 million, continuing to $824.9 million in 2017 and $1.18 billion in 2018.

3. The Story Wars (between Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook) has had an impact on Snapchat's growth, however. Snapchat admitted in its Q2 2018 earnings that user numbers fell from 191 million to 188 million . It's most recent financial results announcement states that there are now 186 million users .

Snapchat began life as an iOS-only app called Picaboo. It was released two months later under the name Snapchat. Evan Spiegel and Bobby Murphy, the founders of Snapchat, failed on 34 other projects before hitting it big with Snapchat. When Spiegel floated the idea before his classmates, they were unimpressed with the temporary nature of the photos shared. The inspiration for Snapchat came after Spiegel and Murphy's friend, Reggie Brown, regretted having posted a photo. Reggie Brown eventually sued Spiegel and Murphy for not giving him an equal share in the company but agreed to settle for $158M in cash. Brown was also responsible for naming Snapchat's ghost logo, "Ghostface Chillah."
