Microsoft is the company that owns LinkedIn since December 2016, although both companies operate independently. It is the Redmond-based firm that usually offers data on the use of the professional social network when it publishes its quarterly fiscal data.
LinkedIn currently has 875 million users.
However, it should be noted that, unlike other social networks, LinkedIn does not offer data on monthly active users -such as Facebook- or daily active users -such as Twitter or Snapchat- but rather its figure corresponds to the number of profiles created on the platform. , so the comparison with these other networks is impossible. some analysts estimated at 500 million active users per month the number of LinkedIn but it is not an official data.
What we do know is the number of profiles created on LinkedIn, which currently exceeds 875 million worldwide. Of these, it is estimated that in Spain there are some 17 million profiles created, while in Latin America as a whole 78 million profiles have been created.
