The social network reported reaching 217 million “monetizable daily active users” (mDAU) in the fourth quarter of 2021, increasing 13.02% over the 192 million recorded a year earlier.
In its statement, the company said it considers people who logged in or were authenticated and accessed Twitter on a given day from both the twitter.com web browser address and from Twitter applications that can display ads.
