Recent studies from the research firm eMarketer revealed that Facebook is consistently losing its teen users to Snapchat and Instagram. Both Snapchat and Instagram have become more attractive for the teen the users due to increased visual content. Facebook is coming up with the new ways to detain its users, but users are turning to the image or video centric social media platforms. However, Facebook owned WhatsApp is giving a hard time to Snapchat and Instagram with story feature.

As Facebook added a 360-degree capturing option to the app things may go up for the Facebook considering the snap addiction of today’s generation.
