Market analyst firm Mixpanel's recent report on the US mobile browser market points out that Safari is the number one mobile browser in 49 US states, and iOS is the number one mobile operating system in all 50 states in the US. Surprisingly, Facebook's built-in browser quickly rose to become the third place.
Android has been the ruler of the global mobile market for many years. It's hard to imagine Apple's iOS can dominate in one country. But Mixpanel surveyed millions of US mobile device users and found that iOS accounts for three-thirds of the mobile market. 2. Its share reached 65.5%, Android accounted for 34.46%, and the remaining share was occupied by other devices.
TechCrunch said that in 15 states in the United States, Facebook App now has a 10% share, which is quite high, and many people use Facebook as the main entry point for consumer web content.
Regardless of the platform, users can switch between multiple browsers. Facebook has gradually become the network 'gatekeeper'. Through the App, Facebook accounts for 8.82% of mobile network traffic. Chrome accounts for 32.48% of traffic, Safari accounted for 58.06%.
Of course, statistics may not be accurate, because many people are highly dependent on Safari, Apple News and Flipboard, and they can also view web pages through Facebook. In any case, the numbers tell us that Facebook is quite strong and can already challenge iOS and Android.
