Even as Instagram is rapidly growing in terms of user growth, rival Snapchat still owns a bigger share of new users in the US, a report said on Wednesday. Snapchat's advantage, however, might not last for long.

According to US-based marketing analytics company Jumpshot, 52 per cent of new US users signed up for Snapchat, compared to 48 per cent for Instagram in August.

Snapchat during its second quarter earnings this year announced that it had 173 million daily active (DAU) users -- up 21 per cent from a year earlier.
