Here are 400+ amazing Facebook statistics and Facts that illustrate just how vast their digital empire is. Updated for August 2016.

Facebook is unquestionably the largest social network in the world with over a billion and a half monthly active users and over a billion daily active users. With a platform as feature-rich and widely visited as Facebook’s there are countless stats that can be collected and tracked.

I have spent the past six years identifying every measurable aspect of Facebook, starting with how many people are on Facebook and then expanding and listing out each Facebook statistic as I find them in an organized series of posts. You will find everything from average number of Facebook friends per user to Facebook users per country and everything in between. I hope you find some of these tallies as interesting and amazing as I do.

My original Facebook stat post has been broken out into five separate posts to make things easier to find. The original post for all Facebook statistics was getting a bit cumbersome and tough to navigate as it eclipsed 400 stats. I tried to categorize the stats into the major areas of core Facebook (User Statistics and Demographics, Advertising and Revenue, Mobile, Business and Facebook Messenger) and dedicate a post to each. A quick listing of these Facebook pages along with links to each can be found in the sidebar of this post. Hopefully, this new format will help you find that stat you are looking for much quicker.

Please note that some of these Facebook stats and facts are easier to find than others. Many of these Facebook statistics come from the company’s own financial filings, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100% accurate.
