The world has gone a long way. In earlier times, we used to write letters to each other, then after that, the phone came, then we started calling and messaging each other. Then came the age of the Internet. Who changed the life of man. Even today 30% of people use the internet properly and the rest 70% misuse it. And then there was another great discovery called social media. After this discovery, the life of man changed even more.

There are many social media apps out there in the market. And if seen, the use of every social media app is the same. Watching each other’s lives. Am I right or wrong? Still, we have accounts on every social media app available and we use it every day, seems like people have too much free time or are more interested in other people than themselves. Today I am going to talk about one of these apps, whose name is Snapchat.

Snapchat

Many people use this app to take photos and some to create streaks. I’m right?

The creator of this app has made it thoughtfully. If you don’t use other social media apps for a few days, then it doesn’t matter, right? But if you don’t use Snapchat for a day, then it makes a difference. It hurts too. People who have streaks on Snapchat can understand this very well. 90% of people use Snapchat to create streaks and the rest for the camera. (To take photos by applying filters)

Definition of Streak — Send photos or videos to each other. It can let people know where you are and at what time you are doing what. You can also send blank photos.

40% of people see each other’s things and the other 60% don’t. But even then, they keep sending all this to each other. Do you know why? Because, after doing all this, Snapchat gives us a gift every day. It is called streak count. This number keeps growing every day.

That is, if you are sending streaks to each other for 100 days, then your streak count will be 100, but if you don’t send for one day, then this streak count breaks and becomes 0 again. It is not compulsory that you have to make streaks. But you yourself do not know when your streaks are formed and when you even start maintaining them.

Think about it. The creators of Snapchat want you to use their app every day, and we are doing the same. Snapchat has been made a part of daily routine.

Many people are unable to delete Snapchat because they have maintained streaks here. Some people have maintained streaks, even with people they don’t know. (please don’t tell me that you are one of them) We assume streaks as a relationship. How bad it is that we maintain relationships on these social media apps but not in real life. Relationships should be maintained in real life, should be afraid of breaking in real life, not on social media. Don’t do these fake things be REAL.

Do you use social media apps or these apps are using you?

It’s good if you’re entertained, but if your mental health is being affected, or if you are becoming addicted, then stop! Your time is still not gone.

My intention is not to bash these social media apps. I just want you to understand the truth that lies behind this. If you learn something or earn money from using these apps, then that’s great. But if you have become addicted, a lot of your time is being wasted, you are fed up watching the lives of others, then stop. I am telling you all this for your own good.
