50+ Hysterical Snapchats That Prove Snapchat Is Still A Social Media Platform To Be Reckoned With
3 billion snaps are sent every day among nearly 300 million Snapchat users, and those numbers have only been growing.
Snapchat may not get the same nonstop hype as TikTok or Instagram Reels, but it is still pulling in huge numbers and plenty of attention. With hundreds of millions of active users and billions of snaps sent every day, the app has clearly stayed in the conversation.
That matters here, because this roundup is all about the kind of chaotic, funny, and painfully relatable content that keeps people opening Snapchat in the first place. From politics to everyday nonsense, the app still has a very specific grip on internet culture.
And if the stats are not enough, the snaps below make a pretty strong case on their own. Read on.

In 2020, Snapchat did something really different by targeting the public interest in U.S. politics. Snapchat established a dedicated channel for the 2020 Presidential debates, and both Trump and Biden's campaign teams set up accounts and engaged on the platform.
Bloomberg Media stated that this move "turned the platform into a high-tech battleground between former U.S. President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden." Statistically speaking, most Snapchat users are of voting age.
Not only that, but Snapchat helped 400,000 people, mostly under the age of 24, register to vote in 2018, and their 2020 election coverage reeled in 30 million viewers alone. The future of U.S. politics might have quite the relationship with Snapchat.

Millennials and Gen Zers were the target demographic for Snapchat users, and they remain the dominant demographic that uses the app. 37% of Snapchat users are aged 18-24, and 25% are aged 25-34. Unsurprisingly, less than 1% of Snapchat users are over 55.
Additionally, 95% of Snapchat users say the app makes them happy, and that report came back more than any other app included in the survey. Snapchat users also report feeling "playful and silly while using it, likely because it's a place where you can be yourself, stay close with good friends, and share your day-to-day."

In 2016, a user turned to Quora to ask, "Why do people like Snapchat?" This aligns with the platform's design, where shared images (My Story) are only available for 24 hours after posting, ensuring that users experience only the current moment without a public history.

Many of its most active users have been using it for a long time, as it has made changes on an annual basis to become what it is today.

The evidence has fully stacked up, and the results are in: Snapchat is indeed a social media force to reckon with. There are no signs from the business or statistical side of things that Snapchat will be slowing down any time soon.
On the contrary, evidence suggests that even if TikTok has three times the users that Snapchat does, Snapchat is maintaining full speed ahead. That's great news if you love collections of hilarious snaps like these, don't you think?
