social media app

Online connection platform

A social media app is software for smartphones or tablets that connects users to platforms like Instagram, TikTok, or X, where they share content and interact with others.

The term often carries connotations of addictiveness or time-wasting: I deleted all my social media apps during finals week.

Parents worry about kids and their social media apps; adults worry about themselves.
