SINGAPORE (Jan 31): More than one million new people go online daily and 45% of the world – about 3.5 billion people annually – are logging in to their favourite social platforms, representing almost 9% increase y-o-y, according to the Digital 2019 report by Hootsuite and We Are Social.

A majority of active social users – 3.25 billion – are accessing social networks through their mobile devices. But which social networks people use and the way they are engaging with them is changing.
