About 40% of Snapchat’s users are now located outside of North America and Europe, but these areas are important for the app.

“In the US, France, Britain, Australia and the Netherlands, Snapchat has become an essential part of people’s lives. The app is adopted by 90% of 13-24 year olds and 75% of 13-34 year olds,” explained Ivan Spiegel.

Snapchat had not yet provided monthly figures. In its previous financial results in April, it reported 280 million daily users, up 22% year-over-year.
