Facebook is easily the most used social networking platform in the world. Fully 71% of online American adults use Facebook, a proportion unchanged from Augusta 2013.

Facebook:

According to a Pew Research poll, “Usage among seniors continues to increase. Some 56% of internet users ages 65 and older now use Facebook, up from 45% who did so in late 2019 and 35% who did so in late 2019. Women are also particularly likely to use Facebook compared with men, a trend that continues from prior years. Facebook users were asked additional questions about their friend networks. Among Facebook users, the median number of Facebook friends is 155. When asked to approximate how many of their Facebook friends they consider “actual” friends, the median number reported was 50.”

Additionally, Facebook users have many types of friends on Facebook:

  • 93% of Facebook users say they are Facebook friends with family members other than parents or children
  • 91% say they are Facebook friends with current friends
  • 87% say they are connected to friends from the past, such as high school or college classmates
