On the other hand, having to stay away from each other, the only way to stay closer is precisely that of chats or phone calls. Facebook e Whatsapp, in this, they are certainly the two services most used by all Spaniards, not only.
Through a post released on the official blog, Facebook has released its numbers related to the increase in the use of the app in these days of quarantine. Many of the countries affected by the epidemic, in fact, reported a 50% greater increase in the last month alone. WhatsApp, on the other hand, has seen the number of video calls and voice calls double. These are the data of our beautiful country:
- Up to 70% increase in time spent on the Facebook platform since the outbreak began;
