5 Most Popular Apps for Millennials

It is a well-known fact, that those who were born during the 2 decades before the year 200 are better at catching the IT trends. It is not  surprising, as those kids grew up with computers. Using the Internet, graphical user interface, visual languages and other IT-related things is just natural for them. No wonder they are a lot better at adopting new technologies and performing computer-based tasks, comparing to older generations.

Another feature millennials do not share with their parents is being generally comfortable with Internet publicity. Social media taught the whole generation basic( and in some cases- quite advanced) concepts of self-promotion and network building. They paid their price for these skills though, as level of frustration caused by comparing themselves to peers got extremely high. The grandparents did not see that Internet-filtered green grass on their side of the fence. Whilst the millennials receive their daily portion of vanity fair, where negative parts are ably disguised and nice ones are emphasised.

We used YouTube and  Flvto Downloader to find out videos about most popular millennials gadgets. Those two tools are also quite popular among youth.

So what popular apps do millennials use to play this social media game and stay tuned?

On the top of the list is Instagram, the photo and video sharing social network. Millennials love this app for it being kind of a window into others lives. Also, it lets them create a beautiful image of their own life and translate it to the world. “I am able to connect with so many different people with common interest. I can get recipes, look at animal pictures, see what other vegans do with their time, ets.  It is the best app to show the world who i am,”says a 21-year-old female user.

Snapchat

Snapchat is now the third most popular social app among millennials. It has 32.9% penetration on these young users mobile phones. Snapchat left behind even such popular apps as Twitter, Pinterest, Vine, Google+ or Tumblr among the millennial demographic. A real appreciation mark was the offer of $3 billion made by Facebook. Due to some vision reasons, the offer was declined.
