However, Meta made important changes to the way its advertising resources report audience reach data at the end of 2021 – including making significant revisions to its base audience data for Facebook – so the figures shown here are not directly comparable with figures published in our previous reports.
To learn more about these changes, please see this article, as well as our comprehensive notes on data.
The company’s revised audience figures mean that Facebook’s ad reach in Liechtenstein was equivalent to 29.1 percent of the total population at the start of 2022.

LinkedIn users in Liechtenstein in 2022
Figures published in LinkedIn’s advertising resources indicate that LinkedIn had 19.0 thousand “members” in Liechtenstein in early 2022.
However, note that LinkedIn’s advertising tools publish audience reach data based on total registered members, rather than the monthly active users that form the basis of the ad reach figures published by most other social media platforms.
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 Digital 2022 reports.
The company’s advertising reach figures suggest that LinkedIn’s audience in Liechtenstein was equivalent to 49.6 percent of the total population at the start of 2022.

For additional context, Twitter’s ad reach in Liechtenstein was equivalent to 14.1 percent of the local internet user base (regardless of age) at the start of the year.
Note: due to anomalies in the source data, we regret that we’re currently unable to provide insights into Twitter’s ad audience by gender.

Mobile connections in Liechtenstein in 2022
Data from GSMA Intelligence shows that there were 18.0 thousand cellular mobile connections in Liechtenstein at the start of 2022.
However, note that many people around the world make use of more than one mobile connection – for example, they might have one connection for personal use, and another one for work – so it’s not unusual for mobile connection figures to significantly exceed figures for total population.
GSMA Intelligence’s numbers indicate that mobile connections in Liechtenstein were equivalent to 47.0 percent of the total population in January 2022.
The number of mobile connections in Liechtenstein increased by 176 (+1.0 percent) between 2021 and 2022.
