Social Media Statistics Australia – April 2015
Over 2015 we have seen fairly static growth for most social networks in Australia. Facebook is the only network to consistently report a substantial increase in active users – now with 1.44 billion monthly active users. Their photo application Instagram also continues to see strong growth in Australia.

Key Points to Note:
- Instagram is continuing to grow and there are now 5 million monthly active users in Australia. Instagram now overtakes Tumblr as the 4th most popular social network in Australia.
- Small movements for most social networks over the month, no large changes.
- Facebook remains the largest and most used social network.
- The app eco-system is far from stale as we constantly see brand new apps gain popularity, EG Wickr – but often these services are not traditional social networking sites.
- Facebook’s Australian user base of 14 million is less than 1% (0.97%) of their total worldwide user base.
