According to Boone, Instagram’s global time spent surged 19.2% year-over-year in January, consistently outpacing user growth, which saw a modest 6% increase. In the U.S., engagement rose 16.5% despite just 2% growth in monthly active users. This trend suggests Meta is successfully squeezing more value and time out of its existing user base.

Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META) operates various communication and social media platforms that connect users worldwide. Its business operates through two segments. The first is called Family of Apps (FoA), which runs Facebook, WhatsApp, Threads, Instagram, and Messenger.
