Seconded. It's not obvious from TFA if they are treating whatsapp or instagram as distinct or included. Color me skeptical. Maybe someone with access can chime in more on their methodology.

You don't need any special access to see graphs also including Instagram usage: http://www.edisonresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Inf...
In the age group 12-34, Facebook dropped from 79% usage in 2017 to 62% in 2019 while Instagram increased from 64% to 66% over the same period, so at least some former Facebook users didn't just migrate to Instagram. They don't have data for WhatsApp before 2019 (23%), so it's still possible that the total number of users in that age bracket actually increased when you pool all of Facebook's properties.
