Mary Meeker, Kleiner Perkins Investor, recently released her 2014 Internet Trends report. Among her findings were that 1.8+ billion photos are uploaded and shared each day. This is up 50% from 1.2 billion in 2013.
The biggest numbers are found on WhatsApp and Snapchat. Many uploaders also use Facebook, Instagram and Flickr.
This sharp increase in photo-sharing underlines why Twitter just expanded its
photo-sharing tools, and why Facebook has continued its pursuit of Snapchat or a
Snapchat clone: When people use the most popular social networks, they are often using them to share or engage with photos.
