Gmail has enjoyed a two-year reign as the largest Web-based email service in the world. Competition has also increased as its Android app reached the one billion download mark on the Google Play Store.
According to Android Police, the app’s download  counts includes the total number of unique accounts and not the total number of downloads and devices using the app. However, that doesn’t mean that there are a billion active Gmail users. The number probably also includes some abandoned and duplicate accounts.
The most recent figure for Gmail’s monthly active users figures were 425 million.  By now, the figure is definitely higher because Gmail usually comes installed with Android phones.
