According to a study, the top reasons users use Snapchat include talking to friends, sharing photos, playing around with lenses and filters, and sharing videos. In comparison, most Twitter users use it to keep up with current events while most YouTube users hop on the platform to learn more about topics of interest.

Read More »In the age of timelines and permanence, Snapchat offers a fresh and unique way of interacting with others. Where the norm was to have platforms where everything is saved and stored for later, Snapchat had something else in mind. Snapchat was quick to rise to fame, especially among the younger generation. Part of this success can be linked to Snapchat having something new to offer to its users. Snapchat has been a real pioneer in bringing augmented reality to its users through filters and interactive lenses. Notably, Snapchat had Stories before Instagram and Facebook. You could say Snapchat had Stories before it was cool. Snapchat is an image and video messaging app that was developed by Evan Spiegel, Bobby Murphy, and Reggie Brown in 2011. The app allows you to share multimedia messages that will “self-destruct” in up to 10 seconds. When it comes to communication style, Snapchat mirrors how people interact with each other face-to-face. The interactions are temporary and not stored anywhere, much like real life. This enables users to share photos and videos that last a short time before they disappear forever- leaving no history that can come back to embarrass them later. And it wasn’t long before Snapchat caught the attention of brands and marketers. With the potential to reach out to younger audiences, Snapchat is a great platform if your target market consists of millennials and Gen Z’ers.

Read More »According to a recent report, Snapchat users spend an average of 31 minutes on the app daily (BroadbandSearch, 2022). As seen from one of the above statistics, Snapchat usage is highest among users aged 13 to 24. But that’s not all; this is also the age group that spends the most time on the app. Snapchat users are commonly described as being very “noisy,” which indicates their high level of activity on the application. They share pictures and videos and engage frequently, and many Snapchat users even access the app multiple times per day (more on this statistic later), which drives up mobile usage. Another point to keep in mind is that Snapchat users love using Snapchat filters. When it comes to cellular data, Snapchat data usage can be pretty high. This can explain why your mobile data usage is so high if you’re a heavy Snapchat user. With more than 300 million downloads in 2020, it’s no surprise that Snapchat ranks as one of the most popular apps worldwide (Sensor Tower, 2021). Of all the apps that were downloaded last year, Snapchat ranks seventh. Ahead of it are TikTok, WhatsApp, Facebook, Zoom, Instagram, and Messenger. A big majority of Snapchat’s 2020 downloads came from Google Play. In fact, there were nearly five times more Snapchat downloads from Google Play than the Apple App Store. The difference is even more notable when we look at the top apps on the App Store and on Google Play in Q4 2020. Where Snapchat is the fifth-most downloaded app on Google Play during this period, it doesn’t feature even within the top 20 on the App Store. The latest Snapchat statistics show that one-third of Snapchat’s total downloads in 2020 came from the fourth quarter alone. In Q4 2020, Snapchat was downloaded over 100 million times. By the end of Q1 2020, Snapchat users had created more than 900,000 lenses with Lens Studio (Snapchat, 2020). That’s an approximate 28.5 percent increase from the 700,000 at the end of the previous quarter. In fact, according to the company’s estimates, one out of every three Snaps sent by users today is created with a lens. Aside from having fun creating lenses, users are also enjoying seeing them, with top-performing lenses on Snapchat receiving billions of views. Snapchat lenses are also proving to be particularly popular during the coronavirus lockdown. The company says that downloads of Snap Camera, the desktop app that allows users to add lenses to their video conference calls, increased by as many as 30 times. The popularity of lenses means Snapchat is constantly looking to add new lenses to its existing supply of lenses. Just recently, the company launched two new lenses, the Beard Lens and the Beard Removal Lens, for its users to play around with. Given the visual nature of Snapchat, its users are heavily reliant on their cameras, without which there probably wouldn’t even be Snapchat. The company estimates that the average daily active user accesses the Snapchat camera more than 20 times per day (Snapchat, 2020). Snapchat’s power to entice users to socialize on the app is extremely strong. According to a study, the top reasons users use Snapchat include talking to friends, sharing photos, playing around with lenses and filters, and sharing videos. In comparison, most Twitter users use it to keep up with current events while most YouTube users hop on the platform to learn more about topics of interest. Here’s another Snapchat statistic about engagement: 59 percent of Snapchat users in the U.S. say they visit the app daily (Pew Research Center, 2021). In other words, three out of every five people in the U.S. who use Snapchat access the app at least once a day. This puts Snapchat on par with Instagram, which also sees 59 percent of its users opening its app every day. Snapchat also beats out competitors YouTube and Twitter in this metric. 54 percent of YouTube and 46 percent of Twitter users access their apps daily. The only app with a higher percentage of its users opening the app every day is Facebook, with 70 percent. Expanding this a little, we see that the percentage of Snapchat users accessing the app at least once a week is significantly lower. Just over one in five (21 percent) visits the app once a week.

Read More »On January 27, 2015, Snap Inc. announced the launch of Snapchat Discover. Snapchat Discover is a feature that provides users with up-to-date news on current events, pop culture, and more. The launch of Snapchat Discover repositioned Snapchat as a distributor of news as well as a social media app to stay in touch with others. Users can access the Snapchat Discover feature by opening the Snapchat app on a mobile device and swiping right twice. On the Discover screen, you can watch your friends’ Snapchat stories, but also publisher stories, various different shows, and Snapchat stories. Snapchat Discover gives users the option to view stories created by publishers and TV networks. Popular networks create disappearing Stories comprised of text, images, and video. In this way, Snapchat’s Discover feature gives Snapchat the means to monetize content that they display to their audience. Even though Snapchat isn’t the best platform to encourage influencers, their presence on the channel has grown over the years. One of the main reasons why influencers find it hard to establish themselves on the social media platform is because there is no real middle ground where you can build up your followers. Influencers on Snapchat usually take photos of themselves using products and share these snaps on Snapchat. This works best when it doesn’t seem like actual adverts. In a way, Snapchat influencer marketing relies on word-of-mouth marketing. Brands are encouraging influencers to use their products and spread the word to their fans and followers. The important thing to keep in mind for Snapchat influencer marketing is to find a partner that can associate with your brand image. This approach isn’t just limited to Snapchat but to all types of influencer marketing campaigns, and can directly impact the success of your campaign. If anything these Snapchat statistics show us that Snapchat is here to stay. It has undergone a lot of growth in the past few years. And even though Snapchat saw a drop in users in 2018, it managed to make its way back out and get back on track in terms of revenue. In the coming years, Snapchat will continue to attract younger users, mainly millennials and Generation Z. And if that’s your target market, you know that Snapchat is the right place for your business to build a presence on. As of Q2 2022, there are 347 million daily active Snapchat users worldwide. 59 percent of all U.S. internet users aged 13 to 24 use Snapchat. Over 210 million snaps are created on Snapchat every day . Snapchat users spend an average of 31 minutes per day on the app. With 300+ million downloads, Snapchat was the seventh most popular app in 2020. Nearly a million lenses have been created by Snapchat users (as of Q1 2020). The average daily active user on Snapchat opens the app’s camera more than 20 times per day. 59% of US adults use Snapchat daily. Nearly half of Snapchat daily Discover viewers watched Discover every day of the week. Almost 4 in 10 Snapchatters claim they discover brands thanks to Snapchat celebrity endorsements and online posts.
