With over 2.7 billion active users, Facebook remains more than ever the most popular social network worldwide, according to October's Digital Report from the We Are Social agency conducted with the social media management platform Hootsuite. TikTok has recorded the biggest growth.

TikTok has emerged the big winner when it comes to social media networks and user figures compared to the previous Digital Report published last January. This year's hot-topic network was originally associated with Douyin, its Chinese-only version. Both applications counted 600 million users in January, a figure that doubled in 10 months. WhatsApp also boasts an impressive increase with 400 million new users in less than a year.
