Americans Changing Their Relationship With Facebook

Almost half of the young adults in the U.S. who use Facebook deleted the app on their phones over the past year, according to The Hill citing a new study examining Americans' changing relationship with Facebook.

The Pew Research Center study, published on Wednesday, found that 44 percent of adults between ages 18 and 29, which is composed of Gen Z and millennials, had deleted the app from their phones.

The study is only the latest to find that Facebook is losing its grip on younger users, who are increasingly turning to other platforms including YouTube, Snapchat and Instagram, the latter of which Facebook also owns.

Overall, 26 percent of Americans polled have deleted the app in the past year.
