During the survey wave in September and October 2018, it was reported that the most often used and thus considered as the main account across all aged groups was Facebook, ranging from a share of 48 percent or respondents among those aged 16 to 24 years to 76 percent among 55 and older respondents. Compared with Facebook all other sites had only a fraction of respondents name them as their main account.
