The company was able to add an impressive number of new users last year, and this helped it pass a massive milestone. Facebook now has more than 2 billion daily users, according to Engadget.<br \/>\nFacebook has been the epicenter of a ton of controversies concerning cyber security and privacy. Meta, along with companies like Google, makes a ton of money from collecting and selling user data.<br \/>\nDespite these controversies, Facebook was able to add an additional 16 million users in Q4 2022. We\u2019re not sure that this is related, but this was during a mass exodus going on at Twitter.<br \/>\nFacebook crosses 2 billion daily users<br \/>\nNow is the time when we start seeing figures and metrics from companies in Q4 2022. Meta just posted its Q4 2022 earnings report, and it shows that the social media site has been steadily growing in its daily user count.<br \/>\nThe graph below shows the slow crawl in daily users since Q4 2020. In the past two years, the company saw about an 8% increase from about 1.845 billion users. This marks the next Meta platform to pass 2 billion daily users. WhatsApp also recently hit that milestone.<br \/>\nMeta is still losing money<br \/>\nCompany earnings reports are often rife with both good and bad numbers. While the company did add many users, its revenue is still dipping. 2022 was a bad year for Meta as a whole as its stock prices plummeted. In terms of revenue, it\u2019s a bit of a mixed bag.<br \/>\nThe company pulled in about $32.2 billion last year. That number\u2019s about 4% lower than the previous year\u2019s haul, but it\u2019s actually higher than the company\u2019s prediction. So, it\u2019s not good, but it\u2019s not bad.<br \/>\nOne reason why the company is losing so much is its venture into VR\/AR. The company swears by the Metaverse, and it\u2019s been sinking a lot of time and effort (and money\u2026) into the technology. It\u2019s still a fledgling concept despite all of the companies investing into it.<br \/>\nReality Labs is the company spearheading the company\u2019s AR\/VR efforts, and it reported a $4.3 billion loss in Q4 2022. That\u2019s a lot, but it\u2019s overshadowed by the $14 that it lost throughout the whole year.<br \/>\nRegardless, Mark Zuckerberg still remains committed to making this technology come to fruition. Only time will tell if it\u2019s truly the next frontier in technology.<br \/>\nThe post Facebook surpasses 2 billion daily active users appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Facebook-Logo-3.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facebook is the largest social media platform in the world, and it\u2019s undoubtedly Meta\u2019s biggest money maker.
