Development of social media apps is picking up the pace during pandemic

Social Media is growing on a relentless speed. If we look at the number of people that have joined social media in the past 5 years, it has been crazy. Let alone 5 years, even the past 5 months of lockdown have encouraged people to join social media as it is a way of spending time and also learning something from it.

Talking about social media apps, the makers are putting in effort to provide something new to its users all the time, but the effort has been a little more visible during this global pandemic. Let’s take a simple example of Instagram. We find a new update so often and much frequent than earlier.

Instagram released a new feature this pandemic called “Reels” that has been well-accepted. This encourages the people to put short videos of them showing their creativity when they are locked inside the 4 walls.

Not just that, Whatsapp also released the feature where now 8 people can video call at a single time instead of 4. Pandemic has distanced everyone from their friends and family and through this, we are able to virtually connect and get together.

Talking about Facebook, there have been such an advance improvement in the games that Facebook offers now than earlier. It is difficult to sustain pandemic and we all are looking for things that could keep us entertained and busy or just relax us for some time and games like these are the way to go.

Covid19 is a global pandemic, which is why makers of such social media apps are putting in more effort by enhancing their already existing apps into something more unique and fun for everybody. Social Media has been an escape from reality for most of us. Since we are locked in our homes, social media provides a relief and a sense of comfort by keeping us up with the trends, the outer world and most importantly in connect to our close ones.
