While many young people use social media in France in 2020, they seem to choose different platforms according to their age group. In the 16-18 age group, Instagram was just 4 points above Snapchat, while Facebook was behind with 36 percent. The use of the social network co-founded by Mark Zuckerberg was a little more important among 19-21 years old (66 percent) and 22-25 years old with 77 percent of use, ahead of Instagram (70 percent) and Snapchat (56 percent). Despite gaining a lot of popularity in 2019, TikTok was used by 10 percent of 16-25 years old, according to the study, with a peak of 15 percent for the 16-18 age group.
