According to the latest data από την comScore, μια εταιρεία ψηφιακών analytics, η κύρια εφαρμογή του Faceboοk φτάνει το 73,3%, ενώ το Faceboοk Messenger έχει το 59,5% στις προτιμήσεις χρηστών smartphones στις USA from ages 18 and over. YouTube comes in third with 59,3%.
The popular photo sharing service Instagram (also owned by Facebook) is also on the list in 9th place with 38,7%. Interestingly, WhatsApp is missing although it recently announced that it now has more than 900 million monthly users worldwide.
