22/m/europe here
- Facebook
Everyone uses it and there is peer pressure for you to have it. Everyone talks about deleting their account but never does. I rarely use the website or the app but I use Messenger everyday to talk with foreign friends (mostly in the US)
- Twitter
Used to have an account a few years ago, but it just wasn't my thing. Extremely popular though its ux seems to have dropped a lot
- Snapchat
Not really a thing, most people I know barely know it exists. Used it for a while a year ago but it was a fad for me.
- Tumblr
Not really a thing anymore for me, but it seems to be really popular for people between 12-16
- Instagram
I might be the minority here but I mainly use it for photography. Has replaced Flickr and Tumblr for me
- Whatsapp
#1. SMS charges were too expensive until a few years ago so it exploded (I think we are the biggest market in europe now, so you might guess where I'm from). Biggest downside is the lack of group control, you can get added to any group without your permission and it is 'poor form' to leave. I have a couple of them on mute and rarely read them.
- Telegram
Seems to be gaining some use since Whatsapp got acquired by Facebook though I personally don't use it. Seems redundant to have two IM apps when everyone is on Whatsapp anyway
