TNS report shows 55% of global Net users are on instant messaging apps every day
Facebook remains the most popular social networking site in India with 51 per cent of users logging on daily, while WhatsApp tops the list of instant messaging (IM) apps, according to report by global research consultancy firm TNS.
As per the findings of ‘Connected Life’ — a global study of the digital attitudes and behaviours of 60,500 internet users across 50 countries, 55 per cent are on instant messaging every day.
In India, Facebook continues its dominance for social networking platforms with 51 per cent of the users while WhatsApp is the most popular for instant messaging app with 56 per cent of users, TNS said in a statement.
Commenting on the findings, TNS India Executive Director Parijat Chakraborty said: “The social networking market of India is Facebook centric, which is fuelling the adoption of Facebook Messenger also as the IM platform for private messaging. However, WhatsApp is by far the most popular IM platform in India.”
As per the study, Facebook has maintained its position as the world’s favourite social platform with almost one third of global internet users (30 per cent) saying they use it every day and with usage in Asia Pacific (APAC) region much higher.
India’s Facebook usage of 51 per cent, however, is far lower compared to some countries in APAC markets such as Thailand (78 per cent), Taiwan (75 per cent), Hong Kong (72 per cent).
Second largest base
Interestingly, India is the second largest base with over 125 million users for Facebook that has 1.49 billion users globally. The US has the highest number of Facebook users. On the popularity instant messaging in India, Chakraborty said the country had always been a text heavy market. This legacy, coupled with the attraction of connecting with like-minded people privately, is making instant messaging platforms a perfect tool.
In APAC, over three out of five internet users or 61 per cent are now using instant messaging every day, while 82 per cent are using it on a weekly basis, the report said.
Overall, “the popularity of IM has soared over the past year, with a 12 per cent uplift in daily usage globally as more people opt for closed messaging platforms such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and WeChat,” it added.
Facebook and WhatsApp are not the number one platform for socializing.
Explanation:
In the fast-changing and tech-savvy era of today, people have turned to social media platforms for almost everything in life such as socializing, reporting, work forums, etc. Facebook by Mark Zukerberg and WhatsApp have both emerged as very successful platforms for people to connect and message others in their group and near ones. Nevertheless, SMS or Speed Message Servicing has and will remain the most preferred version of texting as it does not require any kind of internet service, and nowadays where unlimited recharge packs are available, they are totally free. Given the topic of privacy, SMS is far preferable compared to Facebook and WhatsApp. Thus, although successful, these two platforms are not the number one platform.
