• Denmark: Facebook usage frequency 2019

Premium

Half of the Danish Facebook users accessed the social network several times a day in 2019. Those of the respondents who reported to be using the platform once a month were two percent, and there were no Danes who used it less frequently than once per month. Facebook was the leading social media platform as a news source in the country that year, followed by YouTube. Furthermore, Facebook Messenger was the most used messaging platform.

Why Facebook?

According to Danes, the main purpose of using Facebook was to keep in touch with friends and family in 2019. Entertainment and news were the other two leading reasons to use Facebook in Denmark. Over ten percent used the network to strengthen their professional network. In contrast, that was the main reason why Danes used LinkedIn.

Global users

As of January 2020, Facebook was the number one social network on a global scale as well. It was followed by YouTube and WhatsApp. The number of Facebook users continuously increased over the past decade, starting at 100 million in 2008 and hitting nearly 2.5 billion at the end of 2019.
