Snapchat is immensely more popular than Facebook for anyone under 25. They change and iterate their UI/UX quite often to confuse (keep away) adults from using it and "ruining" it for the younger audience.


Does anyone have a by country breakdown of snapchat users and growth? In Chile in my kids circle of friends, they used it a bit last year but have all deleted it now in favor of musically. Everyone here (kids and adults) also have whatsapp and I think the value of snapchat is even further diminished now that whatsapp is starting to clone some of the features.


I could see that, I thought Instagram and WhatsApp were popular with kids though.


that's so weird -- how could an adult intrude into a kid's snapchat conversation with other kids?


If you post something to your story and that might be OK if only people your age see it but you wouldn't your parents to see it.

Just like how people use Facebook before all their parents joined too.
