About: Top Social Media Platforms by Monthly Active Users 2026
Overview of the data behind this chart
Social media and messaging platforms ranked by total monthly active users worldwide in 2026, according to company earnings disclosures and DataReportal Global Digital Reports. Facebook remains the world's most-used social media platform by monthly active users despite a decade of predictions about its decline — maintaining over three billion users globally through a combination of entrenched network effects in developing markets where it often serves as the de facto internet for new smartphone users, a diversified family of apps that includes Instagram and WhatsApp, and continuous product evolution that has absorbed feature innovations from competitors including Stories from Snapchat and short-form video from TikTok.
