“Count of female Facebook users is 5.77 billion”
What FACTLY found
As per the Facebook’s investor earnings report for Q3 2021, Facebook had 2.91 billion monthly active users as of 30 September 2021. As per the report, the largest metric, family monthly active people (MAP) stand at 3.58 billion. Moreover, as of October 2021, over 56% of Facebook users worldwide were male, whereas the 43% of its users were female. This proves that the total count of female users is not 5.77 billion
