Gmail now has more than 1 billion monthly active users, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said on Alphabet's earnings call Monday afternoon. That's up from 900 million in May 2015.

Pichai noted that the milestone was crossed last quarter and that six other Google consumer products also have more than 1 billion monthly active users: Search, Android, Maps, Chrome, Youtube, and Google Play.

He hinted that "rapid" mobile growth contributed to the new Gmail figure.

A lot of tech companies have begun to break out active users among their various products. Facebook is famous for this and earlier today boasted that Whatsapp crossed the 1 billion monthly active user mark and that a number of its other products, including video, search, Instagram and Messenger, were on the same trajectory. Facebook's platform has 1.59 billion monthly active users as well.

Here are Google's full earnings results.
