Facebook is losing users from the US, report says

In January, they announced it had 2.32 billion month-to-month active users, a 9% expansion year-over-year. Be that as it may, those are worldwide numbers, and Edison Research’s examination takes a look at clients in the U.S., as clarified by Edison president, Larry Rosin, in a meeting with Marketplace. Rosin likewise says that their meaning of “usage” might be not the same as Facebook’s.

The study, based on a phone review of 1,500 individuals of age 12 years and older, found that around 61 per cent of U.S. clients aged 12 and older are using Facebook, down from 62 per cent in 2018 and the 67 per cent peak in 2017.
