What we found<\/h3>\n

Kids\u2019 use of communication apps in 2023 con\u00adfirmed that the heyday of video call apps has al\u00admost come to a close<\/strong>: old pandemic re\u00adliant Zoom finally dropped out of all popula\u00adri\u00adty charts, with other once popular video apps like Skype and Google Duo barely clinging on. Skype\u2019s average daily use dropped by 20% globally, though this trend also held true for consistently popular messaging tools such as WhatsApp, where time spent on the app dropped by 23% over the year. <\/span>

Even curiosity around Snapchat\u2019s introduction of a new chat-based feature, My AI<\/a>, couldn\u2019t tempt more kids over to the app. Globally, slight\u00adly fewer children used Snapchat across the year, though only 2 percentage points less than instant mes\u00adsa\u00adging service WhatsApp, which 37% of kids helped crown the number 1 communication app of 2023. Despite de\u00adcreased use of certain apps, time spent overall on communication apps held strong a\u00adcross 2023<\/strong>, with no change on a global level from 2022: kids averaged 39 minutes a day calling and chatting with friends and family.<\/span><\/p>\n

Globally, WhatsApp landed the top spot for the 3rd year in a row, with 37% of kids using the instant messaging app worldwide. Differ\u00adent regions, however, told a distinct story, with European nations being much more WhatsApp-friendly than others, particularly in Spain, where 67% of children now use WhatsApp as their preferred method of com\u00admunication<\/strong>. The app gained popularity in all 3 countries in Europe included in our report, with the biggest difference seen in France: more children used WhatsApp over the year, from 50% of kids in 2022 to 56% in 2023.<\/p>\n

In Australia and the US, however, the popularity rankings were somewhat different, with both countries choosing between Snapchat and Discord as their favorites. Australian kids fa\u00advored Snapchat: 35% helped to place the pho\u00adto and chat messaging app 1st in the charts, while over in the US, Discord was the communication app of choice<\/strong> for 33% of children. Despite WhatsApp\u2019s 1st place ran\u00adk\u00ading worldwide, it missed out on a top 5 spot for yet another year, placing 6th overall, even behind video messaging tools Skype and Google Duo.<\/p>\n

While time on communication apps showed no change globally, the story was somewhat different in other countries. Kids in the UK, Australia and France were chattier over the year<\/strong>, increasing time on comms apps by 5%, 2%, and 7% respectively. On the flip side of the coin, children in the US spent slightly less time on communication apps in 2023 (reducing daily use by just a minute, down to 45 mins\/day from 46).<\/p>\n

So where does Spain figure in all of this? Thanks to Spanish children\u2019s relative dis\u00adinte\u00adrest in Snapchat, their time on communi\u00adca\u00adtion apps tells quite a different story to the rest of the world. Without time Snapping, their use was almost half the global average, at just 21 minutes per day, down 13% from 2022. Spanish children\u2019s 24 daily minutes on Snapchat were nothing compared to kids in the US<\/strong>, who spent an average 88 minutes a day on Snapchat alone, or children in the UK, who averaged an eyebrow-raising 95 mins\/day getting Snap-happy.<\/p>\n

Children also spent some significant time on Discord servers<\/strong> throughout the year, averaging just under half an hour on the app globally (27 mins\/day). As well as being most popular with US kids, Discord also triumphed in terms of time spent: children in the US spent 31 mins\/day chatting and exploring in the app, the most time spent out of all countries included in our report. mins\/day compared to 16.<\/p>\n

From stranger danger<\/a> to privacy risks, fa\u00admilies have a fair few reasons to be wary of certain communication apps<\/strong>. Globally, and in most countries, consensus pointed towards Snapchat as parents\u2019 most blocked app. In Spain, however, their blocking choices reflected the most popular communication app among kids: WhatsApp.<\/p>\n

Discord, often featured in the press as a source of misinformation and meeting place for extremists, has worked to crack down on this<\/a> over the last few years, with the intro\u00adduc\u00adtion of AI detection and active modera\u00adtors. Despite this, it was still an app of concern for many families, coming in 2nd place for most blocked globally, in the US, UK, and Australia.<\/p>\n

Links between social media and communi\u00adca\u00adtion apps get stronger by the year, and with both adding more and more features as time goes by, lines will continue to blur: Many peo\u00adple, children and adults alike, are fre\u00adquently using social apps to message and keep in touch with friends and followers. In the fu\u00adture, this could mean a possible integra\u00adtion bet\u00adween social networks and messaging apps<\/strong>, especially in cases where both fall under the umbrella of company products – like Meta, own\u00ader of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.<\/p>\n

2023 was the year AI in everyday technology exploded onto the scene: but we have yet to see what\u2019s next for app integration. Adapting to the next evolution of communication apps, <\/b>with built-in AI<\/b><\/a>, will be part of the journey in the coming years<\/b>. It\u2019s yet to be seen how this kind of integration will affect data privacy<\/a>, but as safety and security is already a pressing issue for many families with children using communication apps, we may also see the evolution of tools and settings geared towards keeping children safe as they chat, message, call online.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Poppins|300|||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

These worries about data privacy are also teamed with concerns surrounding how chil\u00addren are making use of apps like Telegram and WhatsApp. Recent cases in Spain<\/a> show chil\u00addren and teenagers used group chat features to spread pornographic material and far-right messaging, while other new in-app tools such as editing features or disappearing messages have been criticized for their po\u00adtential to be misused and manipulated<\/a>. In turn, we expect to see new, communication-app exclusive pa\u00adrental controls and wellbeing features rolled out<\/strong>, just as we have seen over the last few years with social media.<\/p>\n

Whether talking to friends, family, or online contacts, it\u2019s important to safeguard personal information, and prevent the spread of potentially misleading messages<\/strong>. Communication apps like WhatsApp and Telegram can be a prime source of unchecked misinformation, as it\u2019s difficult for people to check sources or even know where a forwarded message originally came from. Communication apps make it all too easy to spread potentially harmful messages<\/strong>, and it\u2019s important to acknowledge that allowing them access to tools such as WhatsApp may expose them to fake news and disinformation.<\/p>\n

Even with communication apps, which families often see as simple tools that allow kids to chat to one another, it\u2019s easy for children to have access to platforms which aren\u2019t necessarily appropriate for their age group<\/strong> – all in the name of staying in touch. In areas of the world like Europe, penetration of apps like WhatsApp is now so high that it\u2019s often the \u201cdefault\u201d communication app for friends and family. When downloading a new communication tool, families must consider the features it offers, and potential risks<\/strong>, including data security, who can contact children through it, and how the platform could be misused.<\/p>\n

As more and more kids experience online bullying and abuse, they should be prepared with coping strategies and blocking procedures that allow them to enjoy chatting with those they love and care about, not bullies or people trying to make their lives difficult. Parents and guardians need to understand how specific communications apps work, and teach children how to make use of features such as contact blocking, or reporting,<\/strong> depending on the app. In addition, always listening to your child\u2019s worries with an open, curious mind, rather than reacting angrily or judging them, will let them know that you are a safe space for them to turn to should they ever need it.<\/p>\n

Though often associated with social media, cyberbullying and hateful messages can also come through communication apps like Snapchat. In many cases of online bullying, the victim knows the perpetrator personally, which means communication apps are just one more method that bullies can use to harass and intimidate others<\/strong>. Families should watch for signs of online bullying<\/a>, such as changes in eating and sleeping habits, children feeling angry or frustrated after spending time online, and increased secrecy, particularly surrounding technology use.<\/p>\n
