"Most American teenagers use YouTube and TikTok daily, according to a report released last week by the Pew Research Center, and roughly 1 in 5 said they were on one of the two platforms "almost constantly." The survey, which looked at the habits of 1,458 teens between ages 13 and 17, suggests that despite growing concern over the potential mental health risks, teens are not putting down their phones, spending much of their time scrolling through social media, watching videos or consulting chatbots powered by artificial intelligence."
"The report also revealed that many teens regularly use AI chatbots. Sixty-four percent of the teens said they had used an AI chatbot, and 28% said they did so daily. Sixteen percent said they used chatbots several times a day or almost constantly. Open AI's ChatGPT was the most commonly used chatbot, followed by Gemini and Meta AI. A much smaller group of teens reported using chatbots such as Character.ai."
Most American teenagers use YouTube and TikTok daily, with roughly one in five using one of those platforms almost constantly. Three-quarters of teens use YouTube daily, while TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat remain highly popular and Facebook use is lower. About a third of teens report being on at least one of five major platforms almost constantly, a rate that has remained steady. Black and Hispanic teens are more likely to use YouTube, TikTok and Instagram almost constantly. Girls favor Snapchat and Instagram, while boys favor Reddit and YouTube. Sixty-four percent have used AI chatbots; 28% use them daily and 16% use them several times a day or almost constantly. ChatGPT is the most used chatbot, followed by Gemini and Meta AI, with fewer teens using services like Character.ai. Online life is very much part of kids' lives, which helps explain parental concerns.
