A theory behind this spike in mobile traffic is the fact that many students have gone back to school. The spike may not last but mobile traffic, in general, has been on a steady rise:
The current stats for Facebook (shown as their milestones as part of their quarterly report) are as follows:
- 1.23 billion monthly active users
- 945 million monthly active mobile users
- 757 million daily active users
- 556 million daily active mobile users
This means that 73.44% of Facebook’s daily userbase visits the platform from a mobile device and on that note – 53% of its revenue is coming from mobile.
