Dozens of teenagers told us what's cool in 2016 — these are their favorite (and least favorite) apps by Maya Kosoff on Jan 31, 2016, 11:25 AM Advertisement
 Last week, we decided to put together a State of the Union on the American teenager. To learn what American teenagers in 2016 really like, and what they don't, we polled about 60 of them from across the US. We spoke with teens ages 13 to 19, in middle school, high school, and college. We asked them about their digital lives and habits, pop culture, and politics. Their answers offer a glimpse into what it's like being a teenager in 2016. Here's a glimpse into the apps they use and the games they play. SEE ALSO: 60 teenagers reveal what they think is cool — and what isn't — in 2016 Teens are shy to talk about how much time they spend on their phones, but it's a lot.  We got lots of "too many" and "I'm embarrassed to say" responses, but the numbers we were able to get suggested teens spend about six hours a day on their phones. (This is both in and out of school.)
What are teens' favorite apps? Here are a few of the most popular answers: 
The most popular by a landslide: Snapchat.  It's no surprise that teenagers love Snapchat. Here's what they had to say about it: - "It's how I communicate with most of my friends and it's fun." — 15-year-old
- "Snapchat because it's pretty much just texting, but with pictures of my beautiful face " — 16-year-old
- "Snapchat, because it is fun to send your friends what you're doing, and where you are in a fast and easy way. I also like being able to make stories, for all of my friends to see, and I also enjoy seeing stories of my friends on it and see what they're up to." — 17-year-old
