GMAIL made this weekend a completely unexpected announcement, and this is because it comes no less than 34 months apart, almost 3 years, compared to another similar one made by the platform owned by Google. More precisely, GMAIL announced over the weekend that it currently has no less than 1.5 billion active users globally, Google's platform managing to gather an impressive number of people who use its services.
GMAIL had 34 billion active users on the platform 1 months ago, so it took almost 3 years for this figure to grow by 50%, but even so, we are talking about a remarkable achievement. Making a parallel, GMAIL has as many users as WhatsApp, more than Facebook Messenger, almost as many as YouTube, and it is at a fairly large distance from Facebook, which is still a social network, much different .

GMAIL had the announcement made by publishing the image above by the team that deals with the maintenance of the platform, and it shows as clearly as possible that people have chosen to use the platform in large numbers. GMAIL does not say if the number represents active users, or all accounts created up to now, but until now the company Google has only talked about active users for all its services, so it is assumed that this time it is the same thing.
GMAIL is an email service that this year saw a lot of changes from the Apple company, the Americans including a new interface with a series of new functions, which are not offered by other platforms. GMAIL will definitely continue to grow in the coming years, it's hard to say if it will reach 2 billion users in another 3 years, or maybe sooner, all depending on the functions that Google will offer.
