Facebook Messenger now has 700 million registered users
According to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, quoted by Re/Code, Facebook Messenger now reaches a total 700 million users across the globe.
Back in late March, Facebook's mobile messaging solution claimed 600 million users, meaning that the service was able to expand its reach by 100 million users in less than three months. It should be mentioned that these are not active users, but the total number of registered users instead. Zuckerberg allegedly made the announcement at a Facebook investor meeting on Thursday.
Just a few days ago, Facebook Messenger crossed the 1 billion download mark on Android, being one of few Android apps to achieve this notable feat.
At the moment, the only messaging app that claims most users is Facebook's other messaging app, WhatsApp. With 800 million active users, WhatsApp remains the king of the mobile messaging market, and if WhatsApp wasn't a Facebook-owned company, Messenger's growth rate would have posed a serious threat. However, as the situation stands, it's only more good news for Facebook.
