Most popular platforms

We asked teens to name up to three social media platforms that they use the most. As Figure 1 shows, a whopping 74% of teens cite TikTok as one of their three most used platforms. Snapchat (69%) is a close second. About half of the teens mentioned WhatsApp and Instagram.

Boy (16): “I often snap with those who have Snapchat. But many of my friends don't have Snapchat, so I'll use WhatsApp with them.”
