The one billion club is a very exclusive place on the Google Play Store, because Google has the only other apps that have reached that milestone, other than Facebook of course. David Marcus, the guy who looks after messaging at Facebook, revealed today that the Facebook Messenger app has been downloaded more than one billion times from the Google Play Store. That’s a massive achievement.

Crazy, that a chat app like Facebook Messenger has 1 billion downloads on Google Play.

I think the main reason so many people use Facebook Messenger is because of limited phone plans which restrict how many texts messages you can send and receive per month.

Plus, almost everyone at school or work is on Facebook.com in my experience, so even people who don't use messenger can reply to your messages on Facebook's and messenger's websites. Facebook Messenger is also multi-platform, so you can chat with iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and other operating system which Facebook publish Messenger to.
 
If you consider all the new phones people get and losing their phones and such I'm sure many redownloaded it.
 
Google Play may count downloads by individual Google/Gmail.com accounts, and not count their re-downloads from the same account when they get a new phone or tablet otherwise Google Apps like YouTube, Google Search App, Google Play Games, etc download number would be huge from people who buy new phones, tablets, and settop boxes with the Google Android OS installed on it.

But, people may use more than one Gmail account on different devices, so some downloads maybe from people who use many Gmail accounts for Android for different reasons.
