At 280M, Snapchat now has more users on Android than iOS

The revenue increased 66 per cent (YoY) to $770 million and average revenue per user increased 36 per cent (YoY) to $2.74, according to Snap, the parent company of Snapchat.

DAUs increased sequentially and year-over-year on both iOS and Android platforms.

"For the first time, the majority of our DAUs for the quarter was on the Android version of our application," the company said during its quarterly results on Thursday.

The Android users overtaking iOS users is a "critical milestone that reflects the long-term value of the investment we made to rebuild our Android application," said CEO Evan Spiegel.
