landmark of 1 billion user accounts. it currently have
more than 1 billion active users.

networking platform that was completely based on
sharing photos and videos. This photo sharing social
networking app thus enables you to capture the best
moments of your life, with your phone’s camera or any
other camera, and convert them into works of art.

this instant messaging platform exists as an independent entity. It
arrived on the scene much later than Facebook, but has been able
to capture the imagination of millions of people across the world by
giving them the ability to communicate and share instantly with
individuals and groups. The WhatsApp call feature is just the icing on
the cake!
 Twitter -- This social networking site enables you to post short text
messages (called tweets), containing a limited number of
characters (up to 280), to convey your message to the world. With
the growing craze for online shopping, Twitter also makes it possible
to promote your businesses and even shop directly through tweets.
Appropriate usage of social
networks
The moment you get up, you turn on your mobile internet and scroll up
the updates right from Facebook to Instagram. From liking your friends
post on FB to following your favourite speaker, from smiling at a
humorous post to getting anxious about a update that is viral on social
circles – social media have a dense impact on our lives. Digitalisation is
one major factor that has acted as a catalyst and has routed more
and more people to get social virtually.
