It also increased its number of daily active users to 968 million, with 164 million coming from the United States and Canada.
That's an increase of 32 million total, and 3 million in its most saturated market.
Although the total missed estimates - analysts had hoped Facebook would reach 970.5 million DUAs - it's still a tremendously big number.
