Majority of US adults use FB & YouTube, younger ones are on Snapchat

 

A new Pew Research Center survey of US adults has found that Facebook & YouTube dominate the social media landscape. At the same time, younger Americans (especially those ages 18 to 24) stand out for embracing a variety of platforms and using them frequently. Some 78% of 18- to 24-year-olds use Snapchat, & a sizeable majority of these users (71%) visit the platform multiple times per day. Similarly, 71% of Americans in this age group now use Instagram and close to half (45%) are Twitter users.

As has been the case since the Center began surveying about the use of different social media in 2012, Facebook remains the primary platform for most Americans. Roughly two-thirds of US adults (68%) now report that they are Facebook users, & roughly three-quarters of those users access Facebook on a daily basis. With the exception of those 65 & older, a majority of Americans across a wide range of demographic groups now use Facebook.
