Facebook active users have reached two billion monthly, the social platform giant announced on Tuesday.
The milestone was reached as founder Mark Zuckerberg highlighted his new mission — not just connecting people, but helping them find common ground.
“As of this morning, the Facebook community is now officially 2 billion people!” Zuckerberg wrote in a post marking the milestone.
“We’re making progress connecting the world, and now let’s bring the world closer together,” he wrote. “It’s an honor to be on this journey with you.”
Facebook’s announcement came as it works to redefine its purpose, led by Zuckerberg who toured the US this year to better understand what people want out of the social network.
“We realize that we need to do more too,” the 33-year-old said in a recent interview with CNN Tech.
