More than half a billion people reportedly access Facebook from their mobile devices.

It is reported that nearly 526 million of Facebook's monthly active users access the social network site using mobile phones, marking another milestone in Facebook's shift to mobile.

According to Tech Crunch, that's up from 456 million in the previous quarter, and it's an increase of around 78 percent from the 296 million mobile-only users that Facebook saw during the same period last year. It also includes about 38 percent of Facebook's 1.39 billion monthly active users.

Meanwhile, mobile represented 69 percent of Facebook's 3.59 billion dollars in ad revenue, compared to 53 percent during the same period last year, the report added.
