According to the research concluded by the Pew Research Center, Facebook is now more popular among adults than teens. While FB is still the reigning champion of social media, younger generations have taken to other platforms such as Instagram, Snapchat and YouTube. Survey carried out amongst the people between 13 and 17 has concluded that, while 51% of teenagers are still using Facebook, 72% of them are regularly on Instagram, 69% (hee hee, 69) are on Snapchat and a whooping 85% watch YouTube’s content. Twitter came in fifth, used by 32% of people surveyed. Further research revealed that Snapchat is the most often used social app, followed by YouTube, Instagram and Facebook. Also, 45% of teenagers has been described as ”constantly online”. Hm.
Pew Research Center believes that teenagers never were the biggest fans of Facebook, considering it ”too open”.
