Top 10 Social Media Platforms ranked by number of users. Facebook dominates with 3 apps.

Do you remember a time when finding a friend or keeping up with their lives was impossible? Thanks to Social media apps this problem is virtually non-existent. Now you can keep up with your long lost friends with apps like Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram, Twitter and even YouTube.

In this video we rank the top 10 social networks in terms of number of active users. Unfortunately the list doesn't take into account new age social media platforms like Snapchat, Tik Tok, LinkedIn.

This chart shows that there are some large social media sites that have been around for ten or more years, such as Facebook, YouTube and Reddit; but other large sites are much newer.

TikTok, for example, launched in September 2016 and by mid-2018 it had already reached half a billion users. To put this in perspective: TikTok gained on average about 20 million new users per month over this period.

The data also shows rapid changes in the opposite direction. Once-dominant platforms have disappeared. In 2008, Hi5, MySpace and Friendster were close competitors to Facebook, yet by 2012 they had virtually no share of the market. The case of MySpace is remarkable considering that in 2006 it temporarily surpassed Google as the most visited website in the US.

Most of the social media platforms that survived the last decade have shifted significantly in what they offer users. Twitter, for example, didn’t allow users to upload videos or images in the beginning. Since 2011 this is possible and today more than 50% of the content viewed on Twitter includes images and videos.

As more and more people get access to internet this trend is only going to grow further.
