You\u2019ll find our complete\u00a0Digital 2022<\/a>\u00a0report on\u00a0Algeria<\/a>\u00a0in the \u201cfull report\u201d section below, but let\u2019s start by taking a look at the essential headlines for digital adoption and use in Algeria this year.<\/p>\n Algeria\u2019s total population was\u00a044.98 million<\/b>\u00a0in January\u00a02022.<\/p>\n Data show that Algeria\u2019s population\u00a0increased<\/b>\u00a0by\u00a0750 thousand<\/b>\u00a0(+1.7\u00a0percent) between 2021 and 2022.<\/p>\n 49.5\u00a0percent<\/b>\u00a0of Algeria\u2019s population is\u00a0female<\/b>, while\u00a050.5\u00a0percent<\/b>\u00a0of the population is\u00a0male<\/b>.<\/p>\n At the start of 2022,\u00a074.7\u00a0percent<\/b>\u00a0of Algeria\u2019s population lived in\u00a0urban centres<\/b>, while\u00a025.3\u00a0percent<\/b>\u00a0lived in\u00a0rural areas<\/b>.<\/p>\n Note:<\/span>\u00a0gender data are currently only available for \u201cfemale\u201d and \u201cmale\u201d.<\/i><\/p>\n The median age of the population in Algeria is\u00a029.0<\/b>.<\/p>\n For additional context, here\u2019s a look at how the population in Algeria breaks down by age group:<\/p>\n Note:<\/span>\u00a0percentages may not sum to 100 percent due to rounding.<\/i><\/p>\n There were\u00a027.28 million<\/b>\u00a0internet users in Algeria in January\u00a02022.<\/p>\n Algeria\u2019s internet penetration rate stood at\u00a060.6\u00a0percent<\/b>\u00a0of the total population at the start of 2022.<\/p>\n Kepios<\/a>\u00a0analysis indicates that internet users in Algeria\u00a0increased<\/b>\u00a0by\u00a01.8 million<\/b>\u00a0(+7.3\u00a0percent) between 2021 and 2022.<\/p>\n For perspective, these user figures reveal that\u00a017.70 million<\/b>\u00a0people in Algeria did\u00a0not<\/b><\/i>\u00a0use the internet at the start of 2022, meaning that\u00a039.4\u00a0percent<\/b>\u00a0of the population remained offline at the beginning of the year.<\/p>\n However, issues relating to COVID-19 continue to impact research into internet adoption, so actual internet user figures may be higher than these published numbers suggest (see here<\/a>\u00a0for further details).<\/p>\n For the latest insights into internet adoption and use around the world, follow our regular\u00a0Global Statshot<\/a>\u00a0reports.<\/p>\n Data published by\u00a0Ookla<\/a>\u00a0indicate that internet users in Algeria could have expected the following internet connection speeds at the start of 2022:<\/p>\n Ookla\u2019s data reveals that the median\u00a0mobile<\/span>\u00a0internet connection speed in Algeria\u00a0increased<\/b>\u00a0by\u00a03.58 Mbps<\/b>\u00a0(+45.5\u00a0percent) in the twelve months to the start of 2022.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Ookla\u2019s data shows that\u00a0fixed<\/span>\u00a0internet connection speeds in Algeria\u00a0increased<\/b>\u00a0by\u00a06.16 Mbps<\/b>\u00a0(+170\u00a0percent) during the same period.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n There were\u00a026.60 million<\/b>\u00a0social media users in Algeria in January\u00a02022.<\/p>\n The number of social media users in Algeria at the start of 2022 was equivalent to\u00a059.1\u00a0percent<\/b>\u00a0of the total population, but it\u2019s important to note that social media users may\u00a0not<\/b>\u00a0represent unique individuals (see our detailed\u00a0notes on data<\/a>\u00a0to learn why).<\/p>\n Kepios<\/a>\u00a0analysis reveals that social media users in Algeria\u00a0increased<\/b>\u00a0by\u00a01.6 million<\/b>\u00a0(+6.4\u00a0percent) between 2021 and 2022.<\/p>\n Data published in Meta\u2019s advertising resources indicates that\u00a0Facebook<\/b>\u00a0had\u00a022.45 million<\/b>\u00a0users in Algeria in early 2022.<\/p>\n However, Meta made important changes to the way its advertising resources report audience reach data at the end of 2021 \u2013 including making significant revisions to its base audience data for Facebook \u2013 so the figures shown here are\u00a0not directly comparable<\/span>\u00a0with figures published in our previous reports.<\/p>\n To learn more about these changes, please see\u00a0this article<\/a>, as well as our comprehensive\u00a0notes on data<\/a>.<\/p>\n The company\u2019s revised audience figures mean that Facebook\u2019s ad reach in Algeria was equivalent to\u00a049.9\u00a0percent<\/b>\u00a0of the total population at the start of 2022.<\/p>\n However, Facebook restricts the use of its platform to people aged 13 and above, so it\u2019s also worth highlighting that\u00a068.7\u00a0percent<\/b>\u00a0of the \u201celigible\u201d audience in Algeria uses Facebook in 2022.<\/p>\n For additional context, Facebook\u2019s ad reach in Algeria was equivalent to\u00a082.3\u00a0percent<\/b>\u00a0of the local internet user base (regardless of age) in January\u00a02022.<\/p>\n At the start of 2022,\u00a039.6\u00a0percent<\/b>\u00a0of Facebook\u2019s ad audience in Algeria was\u00a0female<\/b>, while\u00a060.4\u00a0percent<\/b>\u00a0was\u00a0male<\/b>.<\/p>\n Note:<\/span>\u00a0Meta\u2019s advertising resources only publish audience gender data for \u201cfemale\u201d and \u201cmale\u201d users.<\/i><\/p>\n Looking for more\u00a0Facebook<\/b>\u00a0stats?\u00a0Click here<\/a>\u00a0to explore our in-depth Facebook data for

figure suggests that Instagram\u2019s ad reach in Algeria was equivalent to\u00a019.1\u00a0percent<\/b>\u00a0of the total population at the start of the year.<\/p>\n However, Instagram restricts the use of its platform to people aged 13 and above, so it\u2019s helpful to know that\u00a026.3\u00a0percent<\/b>\u00a0of the \u201celigible\u201d audience in Algeria uses Instagram in 2022.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also worth noting that Instagram\u2019s ad reach in Algeria at the start of 2022 was equivalent to\u00a031.5\u00a0percent<\/b>\u00a0of the local internet user base (regardless of age).<\/p>\n In early 2022,\u00a044.4\u00a0percent<\/b>\u00a0of Instagram\u2019s ad audience in Algeria was\u00a0female<\/b>, while\u00a055.6\u00a0percent<\/b>\u00a0was\u00a0male<\/b>.<\/p>\n

indicate that ads on\u00a0Facebook Messenger<\/b>\u00a0reached\u00a014.25 million<\/b>\u00a0users in Algeria in early 2022.<\/p>\n However, Meta made important changes to the way its advertising

the start of the year.<\/p>\n Facebook Messenger restricts the use of its platform to people aged 13 and above though, so it\u2019s also worth highlighting that ads reach\u00a043.6\u00a0percent<\/b>\u00a0of Facebook Messenger\u2019s \u201celigible\u201d audience in Algeria in 2022.<\/p>\n For additional context, Facebook Messenger\u2019s ad reach in Algeria is

2022.<\/p>\n However, note that LinkedIn\u2019s advertising tools publish audience reach data based on\u00a0total registered members<\/i>, rather than the\u00a0monthly active users<\/i>\u00a0that form the basis of the ad reach figures published by most other social media platforms.<\/p>\n As a result, these LinkedIn figures are not directly comparable with the figures for other social media platforms published on this page, or in our\u00a0Digital 2022<\/a>\u00a0reports.<\/p>\n The company\u2019s advertising reach figures suggest that LinkedIn\u2019s audience in Algeria was equivalent to\u00a06.2\u00a0percent<\/b>\u00a0of the total population at the start of 2022.<\/p>\n LinkedIn restricts the use of its platform to people aged 18 and above though, so it\u2019s also helpful to know

Snapchat\u2019s ad reach in Algeria was equivalent to\u00a013.9\u00a0percent<\/b>\u00a0of the total population at the start of the year.<\/p>\n However, Snapchat restricts the use of its platform to people aged 13 and above, so it\u2019s also worth noting that\u00a019.1\u00a0percent<\/b>\u00a0of the \u201celigible\u201d audience in Algeria uses Snapchat in 2022.<\/p>\n For additional context,

2022,\u00a057.6\u00a0percent<\/b>\u00a0of Snapchat\u2019s ad audience in Algeria was\u00a0female<\/b>, while\u00a041.0\u00a0percent<\/b>\u00a0was\u00a0male<\/b>.<\/p>\n Snap\u2019s advertising resources only publish audience gender data for \u201cfemale\u201d and \u201cmale\u201d users, but the figures published for these demographics don\u2019t always add up to the total user figure, so percentages shown here may not sum to 100 percent.<\/p>\n Looking for more\u00a0Snapchat<\/b>\u00a0stats?\u00a0Click here<\/a>\u00a0to explore our in-depth Snapchat data for every country in the

that Twitter\u2019s ad reach in Algeria was equivalent to\u00a02.0\u00a0percent<\/b>\u00a0of the total population at the time.<\/p>\n However, Twitter restricts the use of its platform to people aged

connections in Algeria at the start of 2022.<\/p>\n However, note that many people around the world make use of more than one mobile connection \u2013\u00a0for example, they might have one connection for personal use, and another one for work \u2013\u00a0so it\u2019s not unusual for mobile connection figures to significantly exceed figures for total population.<\/p>\n GSMA Intelligence\u2019s
