Despite becoming less popular with teenagers, a recent study reveals that Facebook is still the dominant social media platform used by most young adults.

In a survey that polled over 3,000 young people from 18 to 29 years old, Harvard's Institute of Politics found that a large majority of the participants were members of Facebook, but less than half had accounts on other social media websites like Twitter and Instagram.

A chart created by online statistic portal Statista shows that 84 percent of adults between 18 and 29 have an account on Facebook, while only 40 percent use Twitter and 36 percent joined Instagram. Even less opened accounts on Pinterest or Tumblr, with the numbers being 33 percent and 14 percent respectively. Other websites like WhatsApp and Snapchat are being used by less than 10 percent of people within this age demographic.

According to Mashable.com, the study also covered a wide range of topics, including political affiliation. Plus, the poll asked participants on which social media platforms they currently had account.

Earlier this year, studies pointed to anecdotal evidence that the social network is losing its luster with teens as evidence that the firm will ultimately be unable to justify its $140 billion valuation. Facebook executives also admitted in 2013 that it had lost younger users.

"We did see a decrease in [teenage] daily users [during the quarter], especially younger teens," said Facebook chief financial officer David Ebersman to reporters, according to TIME.

In January, the digital consultancy iStrategy Labs released a study that revealed that Facebook has 4.2 million fewer high-school aged users and almost 7 million college-aged users than it did in 2011.
