February 19, 2016

Online adults have an average of 6 social media accounts, but Facebook continues to dominate the lot, according to new research.

The research, conducted by GlobalWebIndex on the social media landscape, shows it maybe a little too late for Twitter to spread their wings, as Facebook hits all time high engagement.

93% of online adults have at least one social media account, however shockingly the average online adult holds around 6 social media accounts, and engages actively with 3.5 of them at once.

Below are some further stats from the research:

• Facebook has the highest engagement due to 54% of their users visiting Facebook more than once a day, while users for Instagram, YouTube and Twitter all fall under 35%

• Facebook tops the social media charts with 81% of online adults holding an account. While Twitter has nearly half as many members (48%)
