Whether we like it or not, social media has become a key aspect of our daily lives. Everyone is always scrolling one social media platform or the other whenever they’re with their phones.

According to Data Reportal, the average person spends about 2.5 hours on social media every day. That’s about 864 hours in a year. That’s mind blowing but pretty understandable .

Social media is now where everything “happens”.  It is where we now find jobs, breaking news, friends, partners and even missing family members. 

This is a curated list of the top social media apps to be on in this new year (2024) so you don’t miss out on anything. 

1. TikTok: 

This app needs no introduction. It came into the scene and instantly reshaped the way we consume short-form video content. The Covid-19 lockdown really had us all on TikTok because what else were we supposed to do?

From viral dance challenges to unsolicited online therapy, TikTok where all the cool kids go to be creative and entertained.

Recently, the app has also been trying to replace google as the number one search engine for young people. 

I know some of you (yes, millennials, I’m talking to you) have vowed never to download TikTok but I’m here to tell you that you’re missing out. 

2. Snapchat:

With its wide range of interesting filters and temporary messages style, Snapchat has changed how we record and share moments with our loved ones.

If you need a platform where you can keep in touch with your friends and family every day without even having to say a word, the streaks feature is perfect for you. 

Unconfirmed sources also say that it is the home of debauchery so if you have a sneaky link (or are looking to find one), you know where to go. I mean, why do messages disappear if not for the elimination of evidence.

3. Fusion:  

Fusion is changing how people connect and consume content online. Unlike other social media apps where you are hit with different types of content from different types of users, the platform allows you to curate your feed specifically to your interests.

The app offers a unique fusion (pun totally intended) of social interactions, community and financial transactions. 

As a creator on Fusion, you can easily create a community and get directly rewarded for posts and comments on the posts of others. Picture this, you make a post that makes someone laugh and they send you money as a token of appreciation, not likes, not retweets, actual cash.

With different features that make it easy to send and receive money as you engage other users, Fusion has mastered the art of integrating financial transactions with social interactions

If you’re a content creator, small business owner, student, 9-5er, or just a lover of community and good vibes, you should check out Fusion.

4. X (Twitter): 

X is known for being the home of  real-time updates, savage responses and brevity. If you’re interested in  trending topics, celebrity gossip, breaking news, public debates and generally hilarious content, then it’s the place for you.

With an active X account, you don’t even need to listen to or watch the news anymore. From intense conversations to silly debates, there’s something for everyone.

Although, it can get really addictive and a bit toxic. Whatever you do, make sure you’re not a main character on X any day because they’d drag you like a small tiger gen.

5. Facebook:

Although it is one of the oldest social media apps, Facebook is not going to lose relevance anytime soon. With over 2 billion users, it is still the most popular social media platform ever. That’s why it’s great for connecting with old friends, forgotten family members and large communities. 

If you have relatives who are boomers (especially in ‘the abroad’), please hold on to your Facebook account. Reconnecting with them just might be the trigger that gets them to send you dollars.

Besides, it’s better to have your account than to lose it to one of Hushpuppi’s mentees who can use your identity to scam innocent people.

Facebook also works great for online businesses with its marketplace and ads features.

6. LinkedIn:

Unlike the other social media apps, LinkedIn is focused on professional networking and career stuff. It is a social media platform where you can gain industry insights, make professional connections, achieve career development and explore job opportunities. 

If you’re interested in business and career-related content, this is the place for you. Note of warning: LinkedIn is not for the faint-hearted. You might feel intimidated or oppressed by people posting their “wins” so brace yourself.

And if you have any noteworthy career wins, don’t hesitate to blow your trumpet. Play your cards right and recruiters will be running after you in no time. 

Just like the years before it, social media apps are anticipated to shape the way we communicate, share content, and engage with our loved ones in 2024. 

Whether it’s a viral sound on TikTok, building interesting communities and getting paid on Fusion, or the latest gist on Bobrisky  on X, these platforms are going to define the way we use social media in 2024 and beyond.
