The highly addictive nature of social media sees Gen Z waking up with Snapchat and going to sleep with TikTok, according to consumer research conducted by getWizer and Joy Ventures

YouTube and Instagram rank the highest when Gen Zers are asked what social media platforms they are currently using, followed by Snapchat and then TikTok, according to research undertaken by Joy Ventures and getWizer to track Gen Z’s social media habits. The research was conducted in the US during March 2021, among a representative sample of males and females aged 15-24.

But while YouTube leads the way as the platform most are active on, Instagram is the platform they use the most, followed in second place by TikTok. When gender is taken into account, however, TikTok shoots to number one for girls, while YouTube and Instagram tie in first place for boys.

When targeting Gen Z it is important to be aware age also plays a major role in their social media habits, with TikTok ranking as the leading platform for those aged 15-17. Instagram is favoured most by those aged between 18-20, while Facebook leads the way for the 21-24 age group.

Interestingly, Snapchat is the one most Gen Zers wake up with in the morning, while TikTok is the app they go to sleep with. Morning usage, however, sees little variation between the age groups, but those aged 17-20 are most likely to use social media immediately before they fall asleep.

Highlighting the addictive nature of social media, 20% of respondents say they spend five hours or more on TikTok while 18% spend a similar amount of time on YouTube. Gen Z finds these most addictive platforms in terms of the time spent using them every day.
