During Wednesday's earnings call, the company announced it's seen a huge spike in its monthly active users with a 10 percent year over year increase.
On the call, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed that for the first time ever more than three billion people have been using Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, or Messenger each month.

In response to so many users relying on Facebook's services, the company rolled out a few new updates just last week including Messenger Rooms (a tile-view video chat feature that allows up to 50 people at once), virtual dates on Facebook Dating, and the ability to watch Instagram Live on desktop.
