For starters, a staggering <strong>83.2% of the population<\/strong>, aged between <strong>16 and 64 years<\/strong>, use the WhatsApp platform! This leaves 16.8% of the population 65 years and older using WhatsApp or another social media app for messaging or business purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An estimated <strong>31.1% of Singapore\u2019s Internet users<\/strong> in the 16 to 64 age group prefer to use WhatsApp as their social media network. Therefore, compared to other countries, such as the US which has 27% of its online users between the <strong>age of 25 and 36 years<\/strong> using Whatsapp, Singapore isn\u2019t lagging behind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-7c3dee2a\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Many_Male_and_Female_Whatsapp_Users_in_Singapore\"><\/span>How Many Male and Female Whatsapp Users in Singapore<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current male population in Singapore stands at <strong>3,153,694 or 50.4%<\/strong> of the total residents living in the country. The female population comes in at 49.6% with the current tally standing at 3,101,411.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s estimated that <strong>50% of men use WhatsApp while 49% of women<\/strong> use the same platform in Singapore. This tallies closely with the gender distribution of <strong>social network advertising audience<\/strong> using Meta\u2019s Facebook platform which comes second after WhatsApp which is the <strong>largest social network<\/strong> in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-eb8d4bc3\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Time_Spending_on_WhatsApp\"><\/span>Time Spending on WhatsApp<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned, Singaporean WhatsApp users between the ages of 16 and 64 years use the platform for approximately <strong>17 hours per month<\/strong>. The latest stats worldwide for WhatsApp users spending time online is on average <strong>17.3<\/strong> hours per month. Therefore, Singaporeans\u2019 trends align with that of the rest of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In January 2022, a survey indicated that Singaporeans spent between <strong>two and four hours daily on social media<\/strong> with <strong>89% of them using mobile phones<\/strong> to access the platforms. Part of the reason for WhatsApp being the top communication app in Singapore could be because it\u2019s so user-friendly on mobile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Stats prove, over and over again, that WhatsApp continues to be Singapore\u2019s most favorite communication app. Based on these figures, it makes sense that WhatsApp is being rolled out in the country as a <strong>digital payment platform<\/strong>. There\u2019s sure to be a huge following of this functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Singapore residents can therefore start using WhatsApp and its <strong>in-app payment feature<\/strong> to pay local businesses. While still in its infant stages, making it easier to pay for local products and services surely gives WhatsApp users in Singapore another good reason to stick with this platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does this mean that WhatsApp will continue to outrank other popular social media platforms in the near future? Only time will tell but for now, the stats show a consistent uptick in WhatsApp users in Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-b47b2230\"><h3 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">Sources<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-separator uagb-block-9effacb0\"><div class=\"wp-block-uagb-separator__inner\" style=\"--my-background-image:\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"single-pst-lst has-text-color wp-block-list\" style=\"color:#178574;font-style:normal;font-weight:600;text-decoration:none;text-transform:capitalize\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.channelnewsasia.com\/commentary\/meta-whatsapp-digital-payment-cybersecurity-cybersafety-3481026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">ChannelNewsAsia<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/datareportal.com\/reports\/digital-2023-singapore\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">DataReport<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/govinsider.asia\/intl-en\/article\/singapore-coronavirus-whatsapp-covid19-open-government-products-govtech\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">govinsider.asia<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/896772\/countries-fastest-average-fixed-broadband-internet-speeds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">statista<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/apps\/top\/google\/store-rank\/sg\/communication\/top-free\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">similarWeb<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"single-pst-lst has-text-color wp-block-list\" style=\"color:#178574;font-style:normal;font-weight:600;text-decoration:none;text-transform:capitalize\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.meltwater.com\/en\/blog\/social-media-statistics-singapore\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">meltWater<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/countrymeters.info\/en\/Singapore\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">countrymeters<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/backlinko.com\/whatsapp-users#whatsapp-reach-by-age-group\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">backLinkO<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/284466\/singapore-social-network-penetration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">statista<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engage.sinch.com\/blog\/global-messenger-apps-usage-statistics\/#Asia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Sinch Engage<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"single-pst-lst has-text-color wp-block-list\" style=\"color:#178574;font-style:normal;font-weight:600;text-decoration:none;text-transform:capitalize\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1333422\/singapore-time-spent-on-social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Statista<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2023\/05\/08\/whatsapp-now-allows-singapore-based-users-to-pay-businesses-within-the-app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">techCrunch<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/datareportal.com\/reports\/digital-2023-singapore\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">dataReportal<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singstat.gov.sg\/find-data\/search-by-theme\/population\/population-and-population-structure\/latest-data\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">singstat.gov.sg<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With up to 4.6 million WhatsApp users in Singapore it\u2019s no wonder Meta is keen to use this platform as a key e-payment player in the country.
