According to the Latinobarómetro Corporation, a non-profit public survey company located in Providencia, Chile, Costa Rica has the highest percentage of Facebook and WhatsApp users in Latin America. The study found that 77% of the population uses Facebook, while 83% uses WhatsApp. This percentage was much higher than in countries with larger populations. Costa Rica’s population is roughly 5 million inhabitants while larger nations such as Mexico and Brazil have over 100 million and 200 million inhabitants, respectively. Only around 58% of Mexico and Brazil’s population use Facebook. To put that in perspective, only 68% of Americans have Facebook, according to a recent study done by the Pew Research Center in 2018.
