Facebook remains the most popular social media platform in the world.
Not only does it offer a diverse experience that meets the needs and preferences of private users, content creators, businesses, local groups, and more, but it supports countless tools and features that tap into the needs of its broad user group.
As a result of that, ever since it was first founded and launched in 2004, Facebook has grown exponentially. So much so that the founder is now the owner of a parent company that manages not just Facebook but other successful platforms including Instagram and WhatsApp.
But how many users have joined Facebook since 2007, when the platform went mobile and really became an on-the-go social tool for friends and businesses alike?
Total Number of Users Who Have Joined Since 2007
In 2007 there were approximately 20 million active users on Facebook.
At the time of writing in 2024, the user number now sits somewhere around 3 billion.
That’s an increase since 2007 of around 2.8 billion.
Proof that the popularity of Facebook just keeps growing!
When did you first sign up for Facebook? Is it a platform that you still use as regularly now as you did when you first joined, or have you noticed the way you use the platform changing?
