They are reporting their users now across Whatsapp, instagram, and FB. While almost everyone I know hardly logs into the FB property, we're still really active on WhatsApp.....and that counts towards their 2.5b monthly user metric.

Yeah unfortunately I contribute two users - WhatsApp and Instagram to that count. I am sure plenty of people count multiple times because the services may not be linked together. IG, WhatsApp, FB and even FB Business accounts would all count as separate users when really they are the same human behind the account

Yes - pretty much impossible to NOT use some kind of FB service these days. Hence all the anti-trust hoopla.

Thanks, I didn't know that. I thought it was purely Facebook users.
