Facebook reveals 1.5bn people use the site every month

Facebook has said that 1.5bn people each month use the social media site Facebook. For the first time, more than 1bn people logged on to Facebook every day, it said, and monthly active users reached 1.55bn, a 14pc increase on a year ago.

•  Facebook investing heavily in areas such as its mobile apps and virtual reality, the huge increase in sales meant profits rose 11pc to $896m.
• The shares instantly jumped in after-hours trading, rising around 4pc to a new all-time high that values Facebook at close to $300bn.
• The results showed the staggering growth of Facebook’s mobile business, which was widely questioned in the months after its 2012 IPO. Around 78pc of its advertising revenues during the period came from mobile, against 66pc a year ago, and almost 900m people used Facebook from mobile phones every day.

Its good that Facebook have reached this much every year-as even though alot of young people don't use Facebook much any more they are still using it somehow or other people are to connect with other people. Its good that that Facebook aint dying out as much as it could have gone worse as other bigger social media sites like Instagram, snapchat and twitter are getting bigger.
