37 Interesting Facts You Didn’t Know About Facebook

THE COUNTRY WITH THE MOST USERS

Reports suggest India is now the country with the largest number of Facebook users, with a “potential audience” of 241 million active users, as the popularity of cheaper smartphones soars. Around 70% of India’s Facebook users use it via their phone.

 

PROFILES SOARING

Six new profiles are created every second. That’s a whole pool of new people to branch out to every day.

 

DON’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE

According to CNN, there are 83 million fake profiles out there. From professionals doing testing and research, to people wanting to split their Facebook usage into more than one account, it’s worth keeping an eye out.

 

DOWN WITH THE KIDS

A whopping 70% of teens are friends with their parents on Facebook. Look away Mom!

 

SAY CHEESE

The number of photos uploaded on FB every day? An incredible 350 million; that’s a whole lot of selfies. And if that wasn’t enough FB usage, users generate four million likes every minute and watch 100 million hours of video a day.

 

HOW MUCH?

People spend, on average, 20 minutes a day on Facebook. That’s 121 hours every year! However, in its most recent quarterly earnings report, Facebook said usage had dropped by 50 million hours a day. But Mark Zuckerberg said that “helping people connect is more important than maximizing the time they spend on Facebook.”
