A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that almost 13 million Australians aged 14+ visited Facebook in an average four weeks in the year to March 2015, which is 10 per cent higher than in the year to March 2013. Some 68 per cent used a mobile device for some or all of their visitation, up from 45 per cent of total visitors two years ago.
