For the first time, messaging app Snapchat is the preferred social network for teens, according to a survey from research firm Piper Jaffray.
The survey, which polled 6,500 teens in the U.S., found Snapchat used surged this spring, with 28% of them claiming it's the most important social network. Closely behind is Facebook-owned photo sharing app Instagram at 27%.
The results mark a major shift between the two rising social networks. Last fall, 33% of teens said Instagram was most important, followed by Snapchat at 19%.
The Facebook app may be #4, but Facebook is still #1 I'm pretty sure.
Facebook is annoying on mobile now, you can't scroll through your feed without videos playing unless your on 4G.
Super annoying. I prefer desktop.
Old people and businesses have taken over Facebook and Twitter so I can see why. On snap chat I don't have to see your dumbass political opinions all day on my feed.

And for Snapchat it's not just teens or children, a bunch of "young adults" use it too. Ages 20-30
it's true, I remember Iggy said that Snapchat is the #1 most popular network right now, and that labels are literally begging their artists to join and have active accounts.
