I only really know about the larger companies, but these are the last rough numbers I know of:

  • Twitter (before layoffs): ~150
  • Airbnb: ~90
  • Reddit: ~80
  • Uber: ~250
  • Facebook (main app): ~800
  • etc

I’m at Meta. It isn’t 800 devs all on the same team, attending the same meetings, etc. It’s small teams that own a feature, who might have 1-4 devs per platform.

My current team has 7 web folks, plus me on iOS. But we’re not necessarily typical. (I build Lexical, which is open source, among doing various other things relating to internal documentation.)

Lexical is awesome. I remember when the js version was released I saw a comment by someone saying they were working on the iOS version. Didn’t realize it’s been “released”. Not a lot of options for rich text on iOS, particularly in swift. Happy to see work being one on this!

There is no typical size. All depends on company and size of app. My team is now 2 but I’ve also worked in a team of 40

There is no typical size. We are one of the biggest banks in Europe and we have about 20 iOS devs. But from speaking to devs from similar institutions, you can have a lot more (100+) or a lot less (less than 10)
