Facebook usage among U.S. users between the ages of 12 and 17 is expected to drop for the first time this year, falling 3.4% from2016 according to eMarketer. While that drop gives Snap an edge, teens are spending more time on Instagram, also owned by Facebook. This is the first time eMarketer has predicted any kind of decline in Facebook usage, and they also see usage slowing among users under the age of 12 and users between the ages of 18 and 24. But where the children go, the parents and grandparents will follow.
