Instagram hits 1 billion monthly users, up from 800 million in September. Instagram’s sudden rise continues, dwarfing the stagnant growth rates of Snapchat and Facebook.
According to Statisca, WhatsApp had more than half a billion daily active status users worldwide, up from 450 million global DAU in the second quarter of 2018. WhatsApp Status is similar to the Stories feature of other social apps such as Snapchat and Instagram, allowing users to share photos, videos and text that disappear after 24 hours.
