They also uploaded photos and visited their friends` Facebook pages in order to post updates. However, Facebook and similar social networking sites may be losing popularity among teens. Only 25% of teens in a 2013 study in the US kept in touch daily with others through these sites. And in a small study in Australia, nearly one-third of teens questioned did not have accounts on any social networking sites.
