First, let&#8217;s break it down by age and gender. The biggest demographic group is 25-35 years old, while the smallest is seniors aged 65 and older. Moreover, 75% of Facebook users are college graduates and have incomes over $75k. But what is the overall demographic of Facebook users? Read on to find out. We&#8217;ve compiled all the relevant data below for your reference.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Facebook_user_base\"><\/span>Facebook user base<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to numbers, the number of Facebook users is huge. India is home to nearly 400 million people. The US has around 190 million users, and Indonesia is close behind at 140 million. Facebook is also very popular in Brazil, Mexico, and Indonesia. In January 2021, there will be nearly 36% of the world&#8217;s population on Facebook. As of November 2016, it is estimated that nearly 900 million people worldwide are on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>The latest figures from Meta, the parent company of Facebook, suggest that the social network has lost a half million global daily users. That means Facebook has nearly two billion daily users. Despite the massive growth across its various platforms, Facebook has struggled to remain relevant to younger users. Meanwhile, the number of users on Facebook is steadily declining as many younger users flock to competing apps. While Facebook remains the biggest social network in the world, its user base is aging and its users are turning to other services.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Age_of_users\"><\/span>Age of users<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Social media has become an indispensable tool for connecting with people around the world, and age is no longer a barrier. Facebook is now used by more than six out of ten US adults. The site has undergone a tough time in recent years, but it has managed to keep a key US user base. The average age of Facebook users is 35, which is similar to YouTube&#8217;s average. Its audience is made up of young adults who are technically savvy and are more likely to purchase products online.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook users are the most active and engaged age group on the web. The age ranges from thirteen to 65, and 75% of its users are active on a daily basis. This makes Facebook an excellent target for marketing efforts, since Facebook users have higher average ages than other social media platforms. In addition to its wide audience, it also boasts an innovative and targeted digital advertising platform with Facebook messenger and e-commerce integrations.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Number_of_friends\"><\/span>Number of friends<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a few things you should know about Facebook&#8217;s friends list. Whether your list contains 5,000 people, or only a few, you may want to audit your list and see how many friends you actually know. If you have too many friends, you might end up with a lot more posts than you can handle on a daily basis. While Facebook&#8217;s filtering system helps you avoid being inundated with posts, you still need to know how many people you really know.<\/p>\n<p>One way to gauge how many friends you really have is by looking at your Timeline. You can view the number of people you have friends in your Timeline by viewing the page on a mobile device. To do this, you need to visit the Facebook website in your mobile browser and select the option &#8220;View Timeline.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Time_spent_on_site\"><\/span>Time spent on site<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The time we spend on Facebook is a hugely important part of shaping our social environment, preventing isolation and promoting self-expression. The study reveals that time spent on Facebook has seven distinct points that are crucial to promoting self-expression: narcissism, finding information, enjoyment, motivation and relief. The study also focuses on the role of the time spent on the site in fostering positive feelings and attitudes.<\/p>\n<p>According to GlobalWebIndex, the average time spent on social media has increased over the last few years. People in the Philippines, Brazil and Japan spend an average of three hours a day on Facebook. The survey also revealed that 83% of the internet population was actively using social media sites between April and September of this year, and 24% found that it was helpful for their work. The study reveals that despite the positive effects of Facebook, the site is still a huge part of our lives.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v8LvqppxSNI\" height=\"230\" width=\"412\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Many Users Are on Facebook?
