Social Apps: How They’re Raising the Teen Network

Gone are the days when only social media sites were accessible on the web. Facebook, Orkut or MySpace were the ones that set the trend on the Internet. However, in a few years, practically everything was switched to mobile, such as shopping or travel reservations. And also social networks! With teenagers immersed in their mobile screens most of the time, is it not clear that applications aimed at social interaction will become an exciting trend among them? Additionally, long-standing research on common networking sites revealed that they struggled hard to find features that would give the budding generation meaningful purpose through social apps, as well as ensuring their safety.

Unlike before, today’s parents also support a moderate use of such applications by their children because that makes them Internet savvy and a social person. So while most teens flock to social apps, here are some standout features or utilities of social media apps.

# 1 Creation and customization of user profiles

Each social application allows users to create their personalized account or profile that is true to their identity in every way. Users have the option to put visualization images, space to complete all personal data, from birthdays to the school / institution in which they studied. Such options to customize your profiles the way you want to work best in the interest of young people.

# 2 Conversation on the go

That is the key objective of all social networks or applications. Help people chat with people in your circle on the go. The apps come with a wide range of texting features (multilingual writing, emojis, GIFs, stickers, font styles, etc.). Not only that, there are important tangible features like voice / video calls that tie teens to the app for hours.

# 3 Newsfeed

Social media applications that go beyond messaging have a news panel or space that compresses the activities of all other users. Then one can see the photos, events and other whereabouts of the people within their network. This gives them the opportunity to initiate interactions with others by liking, commenting, or sharing their posts.

Additionally, many entertainment / media channels, business enterprises, and communities are joining the social media train by opening a custom page. Then users can see the news posts about their respective fields.

# 4 Share and upload

Most of the apps rule the social world due to their unmatched benefit of photo / video sharing along with cloud custody. That is, once you upload an image or video, it is saved on the network for the life of your account until you want to delete it. Each account has its own storage space. Also, the chances of data getting deleted there are too rare.

# 5 Surveys and questions and answers

Many social apps give users the option to engage in some real constructive activities in addition to sharing photos, videos, or clicking selfies. A survey or Q / A-based feature in many apps, including Facebook, allows young people to post a question and let followers answer it. Therefore, users can enjoy a real informative discussion and improve their knowledge on the go.

In short, in addition to allowing young people to expand circles of friends, share opinions, events, photos / videos, social media applications also allow them to absorb a lot of information about anything. Newsfeed, public pages, advertisements, and promotional videos are becoming a critical part of applications. These are surely making them more interesting and useful for teens, especially outsiders.
