Mary Meeker, Kleiner Perkins Investor, recently released her 2014 Internet Trends report. Among her findings were that 1.8+ billion photos are uploaded and shared each day.  This is up 50% from 1.2 billion in 2013.

The biggest numbers are found on WhatsApp and Snapchat. Many uploaders also use Facebook, Instagram and Flickr.

This sharp increase in photo-sharing underlines why Twitter just expanded its photo-sharing tools, and why Facebook has continued its pursuit of Snapchat or a Snapchat clone: When people use the most popular social networks, they are often using them to share or engage with photos.

For more details read Paul Melcher’s report on his Kapur.co blog.
