Facebook Messenger Hits 500 Million Active User Milestone

Facebook on Monday announced that its Messenger app has hit the milestone of 500 million monthly active users, growing steadily from 200 million active users in April.

“This is an exciting milestone but with a half billion people relying on Messenger to communicate and connect, it is also a reminder that there is so much left for us to do,” said Peter Martinazzi, Director of Product Management, Facebook.
