ShareThis found that the iPhone is three times more popular than the desktop for sharing content and 1.5 times more popular than other mobile devices like tablets. Facebook accounted for 60% of sharing on the iPhone and was followed in popularity by Twitter and Pinterest.

How are people engaged with social channels on iPhone during the day? We see that Facebook is the most dominate social channel, with consistently high usage throughout the day. The other highly represented social channels are Twitter and Pinterest.
