It's the WhatsApp equivalent in the US tbh. People ask for each other's Snapchat instead of numbers sometimes these days

So this graph should include WA, TG, signal, matrix etc

No, because those don't have social media functions built in. Snapchat has those TikTok slideshows and ads among posting pictures of yourself too. It's more of an all in one that many use

Realistically this graph wouldn't include Snapchat, as it's less of a "social media" than the others. Most people nowadays use it strictly as a messaging platform.
