Meta Lost 20 Million Users in Q1 2026, Triggering Broad Facebook Overhaul

Meta lost 20 million users in Q1 2026, per the company's own data. Facebook head Tom Alison responded with a multi-front overhaul: a full-screen TikTok-style video test, standalone Marketplace and Groups apps, and a free verification badge separate from the $11.99/month Meta Verified tier. The video test starts internationally, with potential US expansion in 2027.
