Also, they run three of the top five most used applications in the world. I love how people keep saying Facebook is dying, yet TikTok still doesn't have as many active users as Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram. The only application that does is YouTube.

TikTok is the most used app. It has more users than Facebook, WhatsApp, or Instagram. It doesn't have as many users as the sum of the user totals of the three big Meta apps, but WhatsApp users aren't really monetizable, and there is a lot of overlap between FB users and Insta users now.

  TikTok has ~1.4 billion monthly active users. Facebook has ~2.9 billion monthly active users. These are stats from Q1 2022.

The present state doesn't matter much though? At least, doesn't matter much over the trend. There were also many times more BlackBerries in the world than iPhones in 2009, but the trendline was pretty clear to anyone who was watching, and material reality has caught up to that trend as expected, with BlackBerry being firmly dead and buried. FB's products are trending downwards and TikTok is trending upwards. FB has pulled out the stops to stop the slide but has yet to find success doing so. If FB doesn't arrest the slide from relevance it's only a matter of time until TikTok catches it in absolute terms. The salient question isn't whether or not FB is bigger right now (the answer is unequivocally yes) but whether or not they can halt/reverse the decline of their product.
