Messi's followers on social media

Although he's not active on social media, not even having an official Twitter account, he still has an impressive amount of followers, which will be today's topic.

On Instagram, he has 195 million followers, which is more than the population of Bangladesh, Russia, Mexico, and Japan. It's even 4 times the population of Argentina. Since his first post on August 14th 2013, he's made 696 posts on his Instagram, which equates to around 1 every 4 days, so a bit reserved.


Moving to Facebook, Messi has over 101 million followers, as well as over 90 million likes on his Facebook page. He's not very active here either. As a fun fact, he got 6.5 million followers in his first 3 hours back when he created his account in April 2011.


Those are the 2 only social media sites where Messi has an official account, but on Twitter Team Messi does have an official account, so it's close enough. Over there, Team Messi has almost 2.98 million followers, so very near the 3 million mark.


As we can see, despite having limited usage on his 2 main social media platforms, and not even having one on Twitter (the closest being a fan movement founded by Adidas), he still amasses a massive following which only demonstrates how popular he is all over the world.
