Wattpad is a global storytelling platform where readers and writers publish and discover serialized fiction across many genres. Because Wattpad is privately held (as part of Webtoon Entertainment/Naver), the most reliable public numbers tend to be time-stamped figures from company reporting, reputable business coverage, and Wattpad’s own press pages. This 2026 refresh compiles those verifiable metrics and keeps each stat tied to its original year.
Quick Answer (2026)
Wattpad was reported as having 94 million monthly users who spend 23 billion minutes per month on the platform (2022). A later time-stamped summary describes Wattpad as having 90M+ users as of September 2023. Wattpad’s press materials also cite 400M story uploads (as of Oct. 18, 2017) and availability in 50 languages (2017 snapshot).
