Social Media: Teens Use Youtube and TikTok
Facebook lost its grip among youngsters falling from 71% to 32%
The landscape of social media continuously changes, especially among teens, the most aggressive users of this media. A new Pew Research Center survey of American teenagers, ages 13 to 17, finds TikTok has rocketed in popularity since its debut. It is now a top social media platform for teens among the platforms covered in the survey.
Meanwhile, the share of teenagers who say they use Facebook, a dominant social media platform only a few years ago, has plummeted from 71% to 32%.
YouTube is on top of the list, with 95% of teens using the platform. TikTok comes after (67%), followed by Instagram and Snapchat, utilized by nearly six in ten teens. Twitter, Twitch, WhatsApp, Reddit, and Tumblr come below Facebook (32%).
This study also explores teens’ frequency on the top five online platforms: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook. 35% of teens interviewed say they are using at least one of them “almost constantly.”
