If you’re still using Facebook in 2025, you’re not alone. While Gen Z has moved on to Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and whatever the next viral app is, Facebook in India remains strong, especially in tier-2 towns, family circles, small business networks, and political chatter zones.
And if you scroll through your feed right now, you’ll probably spot a few recurring characters. Not official categories, but certain personalities just show up again and again. Here’s a lighthearted look at the most common types of Facebook users in India today, maybe you’ll even find yourself on the list.
1. The All-Season Festival Greeter

Even if you miss the calendar, you’ll always know there’s a festival coming, thanks to them.
2. The Emotion-Driven Family Poster

They often post in Hindi or regional languages, with captions like: “Mummy-Papa are my world”
For them, Facebook is less about status updates and more about emotional milestones.
