¹ These platforms have not published updated user figures in the past 12 months, so the user figures published here may not be as reliable as the user figures we've included for other platforms in this list.

² Snapchat and Twitter only publish daily active users (DAU) in their earnings announcements, as opposed to the monthly active user (MAU) figures published by other platforms. The figure we've reported here is based on the latest monthly advertising reach figures published in each platform's respective self-service advertising tools, in order to provide a more equal basis for comparison.
LinkedIn no longer publishes monthly active user figures, and its monthly advertising audience reach figures are based on total registered members, not monthly active users (MAUs). As a result, it's difficult to identify how many active users LinkedIn has each month. However, our calculations indicate that the platform likely has an insufficient number of MAUs to qualify for the ranking above. * Note that we report both monthly active user figures and potential advertising reach figures for various social media platforms in our reports. Please read each slide carefully to understand which metrics we've used.
