Which Social Media Platform Has the Most Users?
What social media platform has the most users? It’s a question that many people have asked themselves before deciding which platform to use. With so many different platforms out there, it can be difficult to keep up! As more and more new platforms continue cropping up, these are still the ones that you will want to spend your time on.
It’s probably no surprise that Facebook remains the king of social media networks with just under 3 billion monthly active users as of 2022. It’s an easy-to-use platform that allows users to connect with friends and family and share content such as photos, videos, and stories. It also offers a wide range of features including Groups and Events which allow businesses to create communities around their products or services. Due to its varied uses, Facebook is also the most popular network in terms of time spent on the site. For example, American users spend an average of 33 minutes per day on the platform. Facebook is most popular among millennials and Gen Xers, but it still has a wide range of ages represented across its user base.
Instagram was launched in 2010 and quickly rose to become one of the most popular social media networks in the world. It’s a visual platform where users can share pictures and videos with their followers as well as interact with them through comments and likes. Its popularity has grown exponentially in recent years thanks to its powerful tools for business owners such as shoppable posts and ads. As of 2022, Instagram had over 2 billion active users per month and 500 million daily active users. The majority of Instagram’s user base consists of people aged 18-29 years old, making it a great choice for brands looking to target a younger demographic.
TikTok
TikTok is one of the newer platforms on this list but it’s quickly gaining popularity thanks to its unique format which allows users to create short, engaging videos. With over 1 billion monthly active users across 154 countries, it has become an important tool for businesses looking to reach younger audiences as well as influencers wanting to promote their content or brand collaborations. Users love spending lots of time on TikTok, with over 1 billion videos watched every single day and the average US user spending over 30 minutes on it each day.
LinkedIn has over 875 million users in more than 200 countries and territories around the world! It’s an incredibly powerful platform that people use to make connections, build networks, and grow their careers. On this platform, users can expand their online presence by creating a profile complete with their professional accomplishments and employment history. Then, they can engage with other industry professionals through status updates, comments, group discussions, and more.
Twitter is a microblogging platform where users can post short messages (tweets) up to 280 characters long which can be seen by other users who follow them. Created in 2006, Twitter is a great place for businesses looking for real-time engagement with customers or those looking for quick updates on current events or trends. It currently has over 450 million active monthly users as well as 237 million daily active users as of 2022. Twitter’s user base tends to skew slightly older than other networks, with 44% between 30-49 years old and 28% between 50-64 years. Twitter also has a higher percentage of male users compared to other networks such as Instagram or Pinterest (54%).
Snapchat
Snapchat is one of the world’s hottest and most popular communication apps, with an estimated 610 million users worldwide. About 363 million people use it each day. Snapchat is an app primarily used for sending pictures and videos that self-delete after a certain amount of time. Due to this, it’s all about keeping up with the latest trends and moments. We know that this immediacy has been key to its success, as Snapchat even offers ‘filters’ for adding fun effects to photos as well as stories that let you keep your followers up to date with what’s happening. It’s no wonder why so many people enjoy using it!
Pinterest has become a popular image sharing platform, boasting over 445 million monthly users from all around the globe. It’s not just for beautiful pictures of sunsets and wedding inspiration anymore – it’s becoming a tool of the digital age! People are using Pinterest to find creative solutions for home projects like remodeling and decorating, discover new recipes and tips for healthy eating, or even create unique mood boards for fashion ideas. Its user-friendly search bar is also helping small businesses build their communities in new and innovative ways with very little effort. It’s a great way to get inspired by other like-minded individuals in the creative space or stay informed on the latest trends!
Conclusion
All these social media platforms have their own strengths and weaknesses when it comes to reaching certain demographics or goals. Whether you’re an individual looking to connect with your friends and family or a business wanting to reach new customers, social media is a great place to do so. However, when it comes to overall user numbers, Facebook remains at the top with nearly 3 monthly active users followed by Instagram. Understanding these numbers can help you decide which platform will be best for your needs. No matter what your goals are, each network offers its own unique advantages – so make sure to do your research before deciding!

What is content review & approval?
Content review and approval is where your social media content creator sends you a weeks worth of posts, prior to their designated publication time the following week.
This way, you will have the chance to give us feedback on each post in case you’d like us to make a minor edit.
Note: One round of editing per post permitted, depending on your plan.
What are the results I can expect from your posting services?
The idea behind consistent posting onto your social media pages is to keep them active with content that promotes your business solutions, educates your audience to showcase your expertise and to also keep things lighthearted, it’s social media after all!
There’s nothing worse for a business than to earn someone looking into what you do, only for them to see a barren social media page. To them, it may appear that you are out of business or potentially a scam.
We are often asked about growing followers and generating sales or leads. These are great goals to have but please understand that those goals are better obtained through paid advertising campaigns.

Why do my posts say “Posted by Cloud Campaign”
We use Cloud Campaign, which is a 3rd party app, to scale social media management and posting. When a post says “Posted by Cloud Campaign”, it is only the admins of your company page that can see this and not your followers.
