You might hate it, but Facebook Stories now has 500M users

You might think it's redundant with Instagram Stories, or just don't want to see high school friends' boring lives, but ephemeral Snapchat-style Stories now have 500 million daily users across Facebook and Messenger. WhatsApp's Stories feature Status has 500 million dailies too, and Instagram hit that milestone three months ago. CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the new stats on today's Facebook Q1 2019 earnings call, which showed it's user growth rate had increased but it had to save $3 billion for a potential FTC fine over privacy practices.
