Already a billion users have trusted Gmail with their personal mail.

Yesterday, Google’s new director Pichai Sundararajan (better known as Sundar Pichai), on Google’s annual earnings report, mentioned another significant achievement . One of the company's popular projects, the online mail service Gmail, reached a threshold of one billion active monthly users.

Gmail, reaching a billion, joined the club of other "billionaires" services companies: Google Search, Chrome, Android, Google Play, Maps and YouTube. For technical reasons, all these units last year were assembled under the umbrella of a corporation called Alphabet .

To estimate the growth rate, you can clarify that in 2012 Gmail had 425 million users , and in May last year - 900 million . Together with the previous announcement of the figures, a statement was made that 75% of users access the service from mobile devices - most likely, this figure should have only grown by now.

Among other well-known billions of services, you can recall Facebook, which reached this bar last year. At the same time with Gmail , the owners of the mobile messenger WhatsApp announced their achievement of a billion. These figures indicate that approximately one out of every seven people in the world is currently an active Internet user.
