The most used social networks in Spain
According to the AIMC report, 82.7% of surfers say they use social networks on a daily basis, although in the last year there have been new developments: Despite the fact that Facebook maintains its hegemony as it is used by 70.2% , the social network has suffered a progressive decline of 15 points in the last four years.
On the contrary, Instagram maintains its upward trend (64.6%), consolidating itself in second position, with unstoppable growth: 2.5 points in one year, and no less than 24 points since 2016. In third and fourth place Twitter (49.9%) and LinkedIn (29.4%) are found with acceptance levels similar to 2020. We must also highlight the great advance of TikTok (21.5%) that increased 8 points in one year, and that achieved overtaking Pinterest (15.1%).
As for time, just over a third (35.3%) of social network users spend more than one hour a day on them, and 45% of Internet users say they use the internet for four or more hours a day.
