    Snapchat and Instagram are in a traffic jam for third place, with the ephemeral messaging app used by 60% of respondents and opened every day by 58%.

    Interesting. When I was in high school 6 years ago everybody had snapchat, and most people had instagram. And I mean everybody. Everybody I knew had me as a friend on snapchat and your clique was whose snapchat group chat you were in.

      @bermuda When Snapchat was popular, I had a shitty phone that I could not even upgrade WhatsApp on. This lasted for a few months to a year. Insta was already quite popular beforehand, but since I had no smartphone, I got late to the game. So my account was inactive for quite a bunch of time. Later I got in college and got a Huawei P8 Lite, and I used it for a while, with my friends, but more for the camera effects. We weren’t really chatting there. But there were more people posting stories there indeed. Now almost everyone is on Instagram.

      Snapchat is still a thing? The novelty wore off for me literally a decade ago!

        I was surprised by this as well. Apparently it’s had a bit of a renaissance and it’s a hot thing again. No idea why.
