Facts about seniors and texting In 2018, an AARP study found that 86 percent of Americans over age 50 communicated with text messaging. For those ages 50-69, texting had surpassed email as their preferred method of communication.

In fact, a 2021 study found one in three Americans over 65 prefer texting to phone calls. Seniors reported they enjoy texting, using emojis, and social media as much as their grandkids, viewing these activities as a great way to bond with the younger generations.

As expected, texting is most popular among the youngest voters. Among 18-29 year olds, a full 95% use texting, and that figure only drops slightly to 91% for 30-49. Clearly, texting is an ingrained cultural practice for a large portion of voting-age adults.
