Facebook is pretty thorough with its explanations of Daily Active Users (DAU) measurements in its SEC filings:
"Daily Active Users (DAUs). We define a daily active user as a registered Facebook user who logged in and visited Facebook through our website or a mobile device, or took an action to share content or activity with his or her Facebook friends or connections via a third-party website or app that is integrated with Facebook, on a given day. We view DAUs, and DAUs as a percentage of MAUs, as measures of user engagement."
Going back to the first SEC Filing from July 2012. There is ONE KEY DIFFERENCE in definition of a DAU.
Jul 2012 DAU: "...or took an action to share content or activity... ...via a third-party website that is integrated with Facebook." Ref: http://investor.fb.com/secfiling.cfm?filingID=1193125-12-325997&CIK=1326801 http://investor.fb.com/secfiling.cfm?filingID=1193125-12-325...
Nov 2013 DAU: "...or took action to share content or activity... ...via a third-party website or app that is integrated with Facebook." Ref: http://investor.fb.com/secfiling.cfm?filingID=1326801-13-31&CIK=1326801 http://investor.fb.com/secfiling.cfm?filingID=1326801-13-31&...
- rootedbox 13y agoi.e. people are just using instagram more, and this counts as DAU.
- andrenotgiant 13y agoInstagram does not count as DAU - Read the first page of this filing: http://investor.fb.com/secfiling.cfm?filingID=1326801-13-31&CIK=1326801 http://investor.fb.com/secfiling.cfm?filingID=1326801-13-31&...
- thesis 13y agoBut if i click the little FB icon when I post to Instagram, that makes it count as a DAU.
