Facebook on Friday said India, with 201 million active users, continues to be its second largest user base after the US that has 214 million active users.
"India has 201 million active users and retains the second place after the US," a Facebook spokesperson told IANS on Friday.
Earlier this year, when Facebook announced its earnings for the fourth quarter and full year 2016, it showed a steady growth in its revenue and user base.
Facebook reported $8.8 billion in revenue, $3.56 billion in profit and said more than 1.23 billion people were using the social network every day and that 1.15 billion log in from mobile devices each day.
Facebook earlier announced it now has more than two billion monthly users around the world.
