Which social networks do Millennials use the most?

Who do they prefer to “follow” on these networks?

According to a study by GlobalWeblndex, Millennials are spending about 2 hours and 38 minutes on social media each day. They’re not spending this on just one platform, as the typical Millennial Internet user having an average of over 9 social media accounts. Multi-networking is now the norm.

With filling up spare time (44%) one of the key reasons cited for using social media, it is unsurprising that some Millennials are visiting social networks but not posting. 38% of Facebookers and 31% of Instagrammers say they logged in just to see what’s going on in the last month on those services.

Given that 93% of Millennials are accessing social networks on smartphones, filling in time while on-the-go goes some way to explaining the tendency for passive browsing. However, on most of the major platforms, most members are visiting/using on a monthly basis. This guarantees that ads and content can be delivered and revenues generated.
