Figure 23: Summary overview of overall usage of social media platforms, among German youth.
Note: Sum of "Multiple times a day" and "Once a day" options is used as the indicator of the overall usage. The question read “How often do you use the following social media and/or messaging app?”.
While young people from Germany use social media platforms to a similar extent as their fellows from other countries, they use some of the platforms less (see Figure 24). This is the case of Facebook (used by 13%, in contrast to 43% of their fellows), X (used by 8% of the German teens, compared with 19% teens using it on the European level), YouTube (utilized by 46% of the Germans and 59% of their peers), LinkedIn (used by 3% in Germany relative to 16% on the European level), and Telegram (overall used by 5%, in comparison with 14% of their peers from other countries). Moreover, there are much larger shares of young people from Germany who do not use many of these social networks at all, for example 73% do not use Facebook against only 29% of young people from other countries.
