About one in six American teens, aged 13 to 17, said that they use YouTube and TikTok "almost constantly."
YouTube is still the most popular site among teens, with 71% saying that they use it at least daily. TikTok, Snapchat, and Instagram are also part of the list of popular sites. This information comes from a survey by the Pew Research Institute.
Three of those four sites showed a drop in usage over the past year. The survey also reports that Facebook's total teen usage has dropped from 71% to 33% in 2023. And only 3% use it almost constantly. According to the survey, teen usage of social media hasn't decreased much. However, there are concerns about the negative impact of social media on their mental health.
More and more social media sites are being criticized for using techniques that draw in and retain younger users. In October, 33 states complained about Meta for adding to the youth mental health crisis. The states said that the company designed sites, such as Facebook and Instagram, to make younger users addicted to them. But Meta has denied the claims.
