Meta oversees several of the most widely used social networks in the world, and its power and reach, far from stagnating, continue to grow. This is reflected in the most recent user data shared by the company, which reveal that Meta’s family of platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, Threads, and WhatsApp) now has an average of 3.54 billion daily active people (DAP).
This figure is specified in its third quarter 2025 earnings report.
If we compare Meta’s 3.54 billion daily active users in the third quarter of 2025 with the figure for the same period in 2024 (3.29 billion), we can observe that there has been an 8% year-over-year increase.
Additionally, the graph shared by the technology giant indicates a trend of continuous quarterly growth for the past two years (the period represented in the image). In the third quarter of 2025, the number of daily active users increased by 1.72% compared to the previous quarter. This represents the third largest quarterly growth rate, with the first and second being in the first quarter of 2025 (+2.39%) and the fourth quarter of 2024 (+1.82%), respectively.
Meta has not published a breakdown of daily active users by social network, which makes it impossible to determine how activity is distributed specifically across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp individually. However, it can be inferred that Threads is playing a significant role in this growth.
In August of this year, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, announced that Threads had surpassed the threshold of 400 million monthly active users (100 million more than in December 2024). The significant growth figures for Threads are logical, as it is the youngest member of the family (it is only two years and three months old); most likely, these numbers are helping to offset the natural “stagnation” seen in more established platforms such as Instagram or Facebook, which have much less room for further growth.
