In 2019, younger generations in Belgium were much more likely to use social media on a near daily basis than their older counterparts. Nearly all of the respondents between 16 and 24 years old that used the Internet to participate in social networks for private reasons did so either every day or almost every day. According to this survey, the majority of Belgians across all ages checked their social media at least once a day. It was with Gen Z and Millennials, however, where this happened the most.
