Are you an avid social media user? Do you keep your followers in the know?

Instagram is widely regarded among many different age groups but can SnapChat be compared the same way? I’m a personal user of both but I can’t seem to decide on which one I like more.

With both socials racking over 1 billion active users, both seem pretty close in usage, so which do you prefer?

I personally prefer instagram because it’s easier to quickly see what’s going on and stories on instagram look a little better

Instagram is better than snapchat. But that depends on who I want to talk to. Also, snapchat I don’t check all the time.

Instagram is better because Snapchat tracks your location and shows it to people. I’m already paranoid enough without that
