[The Next Web] Facebook passes 1.19 billion monthly active users, 874 million mobile users, and 728 million daily users

While sharing its financial results for its third quarter, Facebook today announced a number of new milestones. The social network has now passed 1.19 billion monthly active users. Of those, daily active users passed 728 million on average during September 2013, and the number of monthly active mobile users hit 874 million.

Here’s the breakdown from the release:

• Daily active users (DAUs) were 728 million on average for September 2013, an increase of 25% year-over-year.


• Monthly active users (MAUs) were 1.19 billion as of September 30, 2013, an increase of 18% year-over-year.


• Mobile MAUs were 874 million as of September 30, 2013, an increase of 45% year-over-year. Mobile DAUs were 507 million on average for September 2013.

Out of all these numbers, the most important one is of course mobile: Facebook needs to keep growing the number of its users signing in on phones and tablets to stay relevant and to keep investors happy. In fact, it’s worth noting that 73.44 percent of Facebook’s total user base now accesses the service from a mobile device.
