Bangladesh is in the list of the three countries that spend the most time on Facebook as of December 31, 2022, social media major Meta said in a regulatory filing.

The company has reported a 4 per cent increase in worldwide daily active users (DAUs) to 2 billion on average during December 2022 from 1.93 billion during December 2021.

"Users in Bangladesh, India, and the Philippines represented the top three sources of growth in DAUs during December 2022, relative to the same period in 2021," Meta said.

The company defines a daily active user as a registered and logged-in Facebook user who visited Facebook through its website or a mobile device, or used the Messenger application (and is also a registered Facebook user), on a given day.

The monthly active users (MAUs) as of December 31, 2022, have increased by 2 per cent to 2.96 billion from December 31, 2021.

Bangladesh stood third among the top three contributors in terms of monthly active users.

"Users in India, Nigeria, and Bangladesh represented the top three sources of growth in 2022, relative to the same period in 2021," Meta said.
